Would like to update you all on Jeff‘s disappearance. The facts indicate that Jeff drove straight out to Highway 182 and Nevada state line, the car was filmed at 3 am on the 23rd of January, the day we reported him missing. (traffic cam out on Western and Artesia). The 2 neighbors were wrong about seeing Jeff back at the house on the 23 rd at around 10:30. Jeff got on the freeway and stopped in Bishop at 10 AM got a thermal shirt, hiking shoes, gloves and socks, a receipt was found in the car dated the 23rd 10 am. Jeff drove out the 182 crossed the state line into Nevada and ditched the car, keys in car, it started right up, had gas and it was stuck. Jeff was carrying a bag and had Frankie the dog with him. The tracker-hunter followed Jeff's and Frankie's tracks and he walked back to the highway a couple of miles. This is where the trail ends for now as we do not know if Jeff hitchhiked away or had someone pick him up and this all happened over six weeks ago now. At this point it certainly appears that Jeff voluntarily walked away from everything, presumably to protect us, his family, who he was paranoid were in danger because of him. We are lost right now and really have no idea which way to turn as Jeff could be anywhere!!! We are going to continue to have hope that Jeff is found alive and want to ask everybody for their continued prayers and if you have any ideas in regards to Jeff please let us know. Our family, K****, D**** and M*** would also like to thank everybody for all your help and support and encouragement as we continue to struggle through this trial
