Itawamba County's MISSING
Jan 27, 2021
SBM
Jamie Wright
Jamie Wright disappeared on Nov. 30, 2008, the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Since that time, clues to the 18-year-old Tremont native’s whereabouts have been few and far between.
During the initial search, the search dog followed Wright’s trail and tracked him to an area on the other side of the woods where various personal effects were located. His trail was followed down the road until it completely disappeared causing authorities to assume he was picked up in a vehicle according to the 2008 story in The Times.
Once again, in 2017, tips alerted officials to the area where he entered the woods the day he was last seen. Search warrants were obtained to search the area and in local wells but no human remains were located, according to Sheriff Chris Dickinson, who said the missing person case remains open as long as Wright is not located.
Making the case more difficult is establishing the credibility of some of the tipsters, he said. “As long as the body cannot be found, it is extremely difficult to reach a conclusion, although lots of evidence has been found.”
“It is possible Mr. Wright might have walked away,” Dickinson said in the 2015 article, “but unlikely he would not have contacted his family during the years he has been gone.”
A dozen Thanksgivings have passed since the Wright family has seen the young man. His aunt, Lori Pace, hopes for information that will lead to closure.
“If anyone has any information, please contact the family or the sheriff’s department so we can have closure,” Pace said in a phone interview. “We miss you, Jamie.”
