But if Jake was in the Witness Protection Program, wouldn't his kids have gone too? Did he himself have sole custody?
I’m not sure they’d be able to put a complete hush on it if a friend or co-worker contacted the press directly about a missing person. When Shan’ann went missing friends called the press directly to get the word out and news camera’s showed up within hours. I don’t know if the press even called LE for background before they showed up at her house w/their cameras.I don't think he's in the WPP, if he was, there'd be hush-hush on his disappearance.....we wouldn't even know about it.
What could be known privately by police? This case is fascinating!I also do not think he is in the WPP.
It was shown in the gas station video that it looked like he was wearing hiking boots. That is odd as he would not be jogging in them; he ran frequently in that preserve.If he was hiking and had an accident , I am confident he would have been found by now. Ditto if he took his own life. I believe he traversed the preserve and exited off the beaten track to someone waiting in a car.
Not a lot of media attention or strong LE or family concerns lead me to believe that something is known privately that the public does not. I think he is off the grid.
LE may hold information back if releasing it would be detrimental to the investigation. I live in Chicago and I'm a former Airline Pilot (before I got my doctorate and became a "fed"). No one is saying anything.What could be known privately by police? This case is fascinating!
I just caught up on this case while waiting on info from a few others I follow. In general, the reasons I’ve seen for people being scrubbed from websites/rosters/history books are serious, violent crimes. I definitely think it’s plausible that he faked his death or staged a disappearance if that was the case. A lot of companies don’t want to take liability for things their employees did, especially if they are on the company’s time or dollar.What I'd give to be a fly on the wall in the room of investigators working on the case they have against JC.
And to hear any mention of him has been scrubbed from United's website after such a long and lucrative career with them!? It definitely makes the mind wander as to what the focus of the investigation could be....moo.
Question: If someone is placed in witness protection to be safe prior to testifying against someone, but a co-worker unaware of the plan reports them missing to LE and the media, what would that look like?
Would it look a lot like this?

FOX 32 Chicago has also learned Elmhurst Police executed a search warrant at Cefolia's house on August 6 – the day before he disappeared.
According to the report, evidence was collected and packaged.
Jake Cefolia disappearance: United Airlines executive from Elmhurst missing for a year
I am suddenly a lot more open to considering that JC might’ve disappeared of his own volition.
