Details of Disappearance
Jones was last seen in the vicinity of the 8500 block of northwest Grand Avenue in Peoria, Arizona on November 18, 2000. He went to the Peoria Bazaar to buy a new hot plate and never returned. He He has never been heard from again.On November 24, his red 1993 Dodge Caravan was found stuck in the mud on the Gila River Indian Reservation. There was no sign of Jones at the scene. His sister doesn't believe he committed suicide; she fears he was abducted and robbed. Few details are available in his case.
I feel so bad for Leland's family. I would guess they so want closure. Realistically I would think it is near impossible Leland could still be alive, since he had a brain cancer and surgeries before he went missing. It is now 24 years later. The fact that his ear was surgically removed should be an important clue in identifying him.
