Details of Disappearance
McCauley was last seen in Portage County, Ohio on December 31, 2011. He was living in the 2300 block of Lansinger Road in Suffield, Ohio at the time of his disappearance. That night he had a phone conversation with his mother and said he thought someone was out to get him. A witness reported hearing gunshots in the vicinity of McCauley's home at the time. He has never been heard from again.

According to his family, both of McCauley's parents were addicts and as a result, he was exposed to the drug culture from childhood. By the time of his disappearance, he was also struggling with addiction and was rumored to be manufacturing methamphetamine. When he disappeared, the police initially thought he was just in hiding because he had a warrant out for his arrest on a misdemeanor marijuana charge.

McCauley's father was terminally ill when he disappeared, and McCauley was due to inherit a significant amount of money from his father's estate. He never collected his inheritance, or showed up at either of his parents' funerals when they died. His family believes he was murdered. His case remains unsolved.

Family believes skull found in Portage County could be Jared McCauley, last seen 7 years ago

Monday, when researchers in the woods in Suffield Township found a human skull, Jared McCauley's family found hope they will finally have some answers.

If his aunts' intuition is on, they may soon be able to put that part of wondering where he is to rest.
[...]
The Portage County Sheriff's Office is not saying the exact location, but Jones and Gerk say they heard it was near where Jared was living when he disappeared.

On the neighbor’s property, as a matter of fact, they say.

"Right away I knew in my heart it was him. We're praying it's him. I'm praying it is. We are," both Gerk and Jones say, sisters so connected they finish each other’s sentences.


We have a thread on WS for those remains, which haven't been identified yet. They were beleived to belong to a female, but the sex has been changed to male. I can't see the list of exclusions to see if Jared McCauley has been ruled out.

Bumping for Jared. Still looking to see if skull DNA was ever determined to be him. Haven't found recent update since article about Portage County bones.
 
Bumping up for Jared. I hope this is the year his family will have some answers.
 
Jared's NamUs page has been removed.

In the past few hours the NamUs page for UP52912 found in July 2018 in Portage County has also been removed.
