Unfortunately she ignored my message when I reached out to her on Facebook :/I wish we would hear something from the girl who was picking him up at Benson High.

It's tempting to link this with Fazoli's for sure, but as Ekardh said that gets into major conspiracy territory. If we look at the timing of it, it would be tough to pull this off without a hitch: Manager calls Jason and one of them suggests an 11 am pick up at the school. He sends the girl to get him. He abducts Jason himself, kills him, and disposes of him and is back in time at the restaurant by 11:15ish to pick up the girl's call when she tells him Jason never showed up. The other option is that he sends someone else to abduct Jason, which also is risky. Conspiring with teenagers to commit murder is quite a gamble. The more people involved, the more likely someone talks. The only thing I think Fazoli's did that day was ruin/change plans that Jason already had. When Jason goes to explain this to whoever they maybe lash out? The one thing that's tough to figure in that theory is how the change of plans lead to murder.
Or it was probably someone who groomed him (almost certainly a male but I suppose we can't rule anything), probably played on the fact that he was a bit socially awkward, didn't have many close friends, seemingly never had a girlfriend. This person develops some sort of sick obsession with Jason, manages to talk him into secret rendezvous (whether sexual or not), then is frustrated and set off when Jason breaks one of these 'dates' to work instead. Seems like to most logical explanation/fit, too bad there's no evidence for it! The groomer would have had to convince Jason to see them/have some sort of relationship with them but one that he never mentioned to his parents/friends/coworkers. This person would have either had to live on/near the route Jason would have taken to the school, or had plans to meet him that day somewhere near that route. It just seems crazy that any sort of interaction like this could have developed without anyone know about it or witnessing it, especially when it seems like it must have mostly been happening within a pretty tight radius of Jason's home.
We may have even overlooked the possibility this was a female he was intending to meet up with that morning.
Say it was a lady. He knows now he has to stop by and say "hey they called me in early."
Now, JJ gets there and maybe she was married and ooooops. He is there.
Who is this guy darling? JJ... startled look.
Is this the guy who comes in my house when I'm gone?
And there you have it?
My only problem with a scenario like this is it's quite dramatic and spontaneous. I can't believe something like that went down in suburbia without anyone hearing or seeing anything. You're also multiplying the number of people who'd need to cover up the murder and keep it a secret.
Still thinking that Jason started walking with no particular intention of ''running away''.
Maybe he made a wrong turn, was frustrated by the last minute inconvenience, or absentmindedly just kept walking until he wanted to stop, or something or someone made him stop. imo, speculation.
I agree, Dotr. I don't think he had any premeditated plans, detours, or any type of secret dealings or double life that he tried to squeeze into that teeny-tiny time frame, when a phone call would have sufficed.
Then what happened? A grown man lured to his death by a random stranger? A freak accident in a middle of a suburban neighbourhood? I suppose it's possible an old creep on the block took advantage of the fact he wasn't driving, but isn't it odd that it happened on that particular day? Not on the other days when Jason was supposedly walking for hours?
I think the circumstances of Jason's day changing at the last minute, and him asking to be picked up at the school, are speaking to a detour made on the way.
I don't know what happened to Jason, anymore than anyone does. But I do know his mother has stated on several occasions Jason wasn't good at directions, his coworker knew where the school was, so that was the decided upon meet up place because it was familiar to them both. Last I knew, it was never established whose idea it was to meet up at the school, so we can't really assign any significance to the pick up location without knowing. And, we don't even know if Jason had any plans that day. Every one is assuming he did, he might not have, but I don't recall his mother ever stating he had any plans she knew of. I'm not saying she would know his every move, he was an adult, but I'm thinking she'd have some idea.
Please don’t think any disrespect is meant. We’re all in the dark here and bouncing ideas around. I like to deconstruct people’s theories for my own clarity if nothing else
I just find it too coincidental that Jason happened to vanish on the day his plans got moved around, and not all the times he was off walking for hours. Perhaps he was lame at directions or maybe that gave him the perfect excuse for making the detour.
If he was living some kind of double life, I would actually expect his mother to be one of the last people to know.

Does anyone recall why Jason's car was in the shop-was it body work or mechanical repairs? How long had Jason's car been in the shop prior to his disappearance?
I believe I read somewhere his parents did pick it up sometime after.
