It seems as though there may have been some errors or confusion in reporting, imo. At a minimum it would be helpful if the title reflected both Jerseyville and Centralia. That could prove helpful if ever unidentified remains are found near either location. Ty for looking into this,
@Darling136!
Centralia, IL is in Clinton County which is approx 1 hr. 45 minutes from Jerseyville, IL, where Jared lived. Witnesses reported seeing Jared in the Centralia area. Police suspect his truck was out of gas and he was looking for help. His truck was located abandoned near Centralia on Joliff Bridge Road which is all in Clinton County. Confirmed cellphone records show he was in East Alton, IL then later somewhere near Centralia when he made a call to the mother of his daughters. Also, multiple searches have focused on the Centralia/Clinton County area. Here are a few snippets from dated and recent articles printed by both main stream and local media outlets as well as quotes from messages in this thread. Also, Illinois State Police say this on Jared's profile:

His 1990 GMC Sierra truck was found abandoned and out of gas parked on Joliff Bridge Road, an isolated area more than 70 miles from his home.
Two witnesses reported seeing him in the area. One told authorities they believe it was Jared who knocked on their door around 8:30 a.m. asking for directions to a nearby town.

It's still unclear exactly what Jared, 28 at the time, was doing in Clinton County, Illinois that weekend.

Several extensive searches of the area where Jared was last seen were conducted. Volunteers on ATVs and horseback combed the woods and farm fields nearby.

Missing, but not forgotten
Jessica Northcutt-Swain / September 26, 2015
On July 2, 2011, Jared was sitting on his couch when his sister left the house. At approximately 11:45 a.m., he was seen on the surveillance camera of a gas station in Jerseyville, buying a soda.
At 12:15 p.m., his cellphone confirms that he was in the East Alton area. The cellphone did not register again until about 9:30 p.m., when it pinged off a Centralia, Ill., tower as he called the mother of his two daughters.
He was driving on Jolliff Bridge Road, about three miles from Centralia, when he ran out of gas. Rumors have floated around that he had asked an older couple for a glass of water and directions to the nearest gas station late that evening, but they were never confirmed and brought about no further leads.

Jared Hanna
The Clinton County Sheriff's Department plans a new search for a missing Jerseyville man after new evidence was found this week.
Chief Deputy Mark Etter says personal items belonging to 28-year-old Jared Hanna were discovered along Crooked Creek southwest of the Jolliff Bridge Road north of West McCord Street on the northwest side of Centralia. He reports the items were reported to the sheriff's department on Monday and later confirmed as belonging to Hanna by family members.
Etter says several groups and cadaver dogs will join efforts on Saturday to search the area in hopes of coming up with more evidence about Hanna's disappearance on July third. He reports the department has adequate manpower and no additional volunteers are needed.
Hanna's truck was found abandoned out of gas on the Jolliff Bridge Road about 2.5 miles northwest of Centralia.

snipped...Clinton County Chief Deputy Mark Etter said as the anniversary of Hannas disappearance approaches, he hopes it will bring forth new information. He said investigators have continued to track down all leads on the case.
We are doing all that we can, and any time we hear something, we check it out, Etter said.
Etter said a motorist reported seeing Hanna walking along the road close to where the truck was parked about midnight on July 2. Authorities believe Hanna ran out of gas.
Etter said a resident reported that Hanna knocked on his door between 8:30 and 8:40 a.m., but after that, he simply vanished.
