CARROLL COUNTY, Ohio — Over 100 volunteers joined a search organized by the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office for a 14-year-old boy who has been missing since Saturday.
...
Relatives said Jonathon was picked up on Friday to do some work on a farm in New Harrisburg, but when he complained of a toothache, he was taken to a family friend's home closer to Carrollton. Investigators said he was left alone there for a while, then disappeared.

The sheriff’s office had asked that anyone wanting to assist in the search meet at 12 p.m. Tuesday at Dellroy Fire House. Officials asked volunteers not to bring children in the search parties due to safety concerns from the terrain being covered.

The landscape is vast and challenging. It's very hilly in that part of Carroll County, and there are a lot of wooded areas and farm fields. Volunteers are searching about a six-mile area.

Using four-wheelers and searching by foot over the area, family, friends and strangers fanned out Tuesday, holding on to hope that Jonathon is out there somewhere alive.

"It's just a lot of ground to cover now," said Dellroy Fire Chief Emerson Huffman. "We have multiple K-9 teams working right now. We have drone teams with infrared cameras on drones. We ran them late last night."

Carroll County sent out an emergency notification stating that the area around Baxter’s Ridge Church in Harrison Township is a special attention area in the search. Units are searching the area for Jonathon, and residents are asked to check garages and other structures on properties.

I grew up not far from Carrollton and some of my friends lived there when I was in High School. My cousin lives there now with her husband and kids. I can’t get on any of the local news pages because they aren’t available outside the US (where I live now) so I appreciate any details from them anyone can post. I have found a couple National stories (on ABC webpage etc) but they don’t say much. Hoping and praying for this boy’s safe return .

Carroll County teen still missing after massive search

"....Relatives said Jonathon was picked up on Friday to do some work, including milking cows, on a farm in New Harrisburg and later was taken to a family friend's home closer to Carrollton. Investigators said he complained of a toothache and was left alone at the residence. After that, he vanished...."


Anything more about this 'family friend' ?
Is the friend a man ? A woman ?
Is the friend a law-abiding person ?
Is this friend out looking for Jonathan ?

Did the parents know he was going to be dropped off at the friends' house ? Or were they both at work and not informed ?
Just curious, as articles aren't very clear about the circumstances of Jonathan's disappearance.

Hope he's found safe and sound !


Eta : There is a person of interest in the case of the missing Carroll County teen, sheriff confirms
"....there is a person of interest who has been questioned twice and initially agreed to take a polygraph test, but then changed his mind...."

"... Investigators said he complained of a toothache and was left alone at the residence..."

^^ ^ From above link ; so he was left with a man -- was this a friend of the people Jonathan was working for, or a friend of Jonathans' family ?
And was he left alone or not ?
Pretty soon to have a POI in what is supposed to just be a missing person's case. Looks ominous.

News articles are all over the place, in one news clip it's said he was going to walk home and also that he was going to call his mom, but he never did.

Officials now stating that this case is officially a "criminal investigation."

Apparently LE has enough information... whether or not the poi talked, or took a poly.

Praying for his parents and relatives ... this has to be terrible for them !

From this article, Person of interest questioned in missing teen case

It says there are no scheduled searches for today. Why would that be?

Person of interest in missing Carroll County 14-year-old boy, sheriff says | fox8.com
"...Carroll County Sheriff Dale Williams said there is a person of interest in the case. The 29-year-old man, who has a criminal record with mostly drug offenses, was the last person to see Minard. He is not in custody...."
"....The teen does not have a history of disappearing and his personal effects
were left at home, Williams said. He does not have a cell phone...."
Emph. mine

Well that's just great.

Hmmm... so exactly who said that he was supposed to call his mom ?
I assume that this information was given out after he'd "vanished".

Were any of his personal effects left at the farm where he was working on Fri. and Sat. afternoon ?

Or, was there anything of his left at the place where he was brought after complaining of not feeling well ?
The article could be a bit more clear. Just saying.

 

[Gardener1850]

Is the 29 year old POI the person who "picked him up to work on a farm"? Did his family know the owners of the farm he was going to? That whole "toothache" story sounds fishy to me. MOO.

From the article posted below, it states the 29 year old first agreed to a polygraph, then later declined. He has a criminal record with mostly drug offenses.

I tried to copy and paste the info, but it would not let me.

When it says to check garages or other structures it makes me think they think he is not alive or he is injured. I only say that because if it were a small child, I could understand them hiding in a structure like this but he is 14. I'm not so sure he would stay in a someones structure unless he were injured or worse. MOO
