ADMIN NOTE:

Welcome to @findingjacob and to any other family members, friends, or other individuals who are what we call "case insiders". Websleuths requires that case insiders be "verified" as being who they say they are.

WS Verification is a no-nonsense, long-established policy. It is in place strictly to ensure the reliability of case information provided, and to ensure people are who they say they are so that other members can rely on the information being provided as fact.

For an explanation of why Websleuths has this policy in place, and how to apply, please go to:


Although applying is voluntary, we encourage any/all insiders to apply. It is a very simple process, and it takes perhaps 2 or 3 days to be approved. Once approved, insiders do not need to provide links to what they state as fact about their knowledge of the case (compared to being a regular member who is required to provide links to info stated as fact).

Thank you to findingjacob and others who are here to discuss Jacob's disappearance. We hope that together we can find answers as to what has happened to Jacob.
 
There is a "help find" FB however I can't tell of the admin is family or not, needs to be verified before bringing it here.
Please send me the link swanniee11 and I'll see if I can figure it out. Thanks !!

Am seeing some personal pages of friends and family, but no official "Help Find .." where family are Admin. If findingjacob gets verified and gives approval for us to link to her personal page, we can do that.
 
Students (including myself) received an e-mail regarding a body being found in the lake on campus of Los Medanos College in Pittsburg, CA, yesterday. So far, I was only able to find one news article regarding the discovery (I'll link it below - if not allowed, please feel free to let me know and/or remove as needed), however Jacob's sister commented on the article about his missing status, asking them to please contact her with any information regarding the body.

"Please if there is any more information on this please contact me. My brother Jacob VanZant went missing over 72 hours ago from lodi. We are working g with police. He was driving a white Honda pilot. Last three digits if his license plate is 311. My number is ###-###-####." I've personally left out the phone number but it's available within the link. Pittsburg and Lodi are about an hour's drive from one another.

Updated: Body Found in Lake at Los Medanos College in Pittsburg

Edited to take out X's from phone number so it didn't reflect as censored.

Editing again to add that KRON4 News website states the body found in the above-mentioned lake is an approximately 25-year old male, but no further details at this time. This is making my tummy a little anxious, to be honest...

If family can't get info from LE or Coroner regarding this, they should look in the area for his car. IMO
 
Read on Facebook from a family member his phone pinged in San Francisco last night , which is 1 hour and 30 mins west of San Joaquin County/ Lodi. I live out in Lodi and keeping a lookout for him

Celestial Love posted a picture of the two of them kissing with San Francisco in the background on her Facebook page. They are likely on pier 7 west of the Ferry Building. I can see the Transamerica building and Four Embarcadero in the background. I don't know where else on the waterfront that you could get that angle.

Maybe San Francisco is special to him?
 
SNIPPED:
Like all missing persons cases, this has remained an active investigation. Further information was developed on 02/20/23 that now consider him at-risk due to potential health risks. LPD is currently following up several tips, and we are collaborating with outside agencies to see these leads through.

Also saw in the comments portion that they (Lodi PD) have confirmed the body found in Pittsburg is not related to Jacob. Thank goodness for that!
 
It really doesn't seem as if he left voluntarily. This article says he picked up a takeout meal for his girlfriend at the restaurant. If he had been planning to leave, it would have made no sense to do that.

Any new updates??
