An unidentified man's body with clothing matching the description of Jac's last seen clothes was found in UT along with a baseball bat and $3000 cash: UT - UT - Wasatch Co, WhtMale, 25-35, Baseball Bat & $3000, Rural, 28 Aug 2018

The location where that body was found is on the most direct route from San Diego to Vernal UT where his car was seen on camera. But he would have gone to Vernal and doubled back:

It's not clear to me whether he was seen with the car, or just the car was seen. If it's just the car, somebody could have left his body where the remains were found and then driven on through Vernal to wherever.

From that diving site: "8.) What's your plans for the next 6 months?
travel to central america in a used pickup, sell it in Panama and fly to South America"

So he could have sold the vehicle he just bought, and that's why he had $3K in cash. Seems that he's done it before or at least planned to do it.

I caught that too and had the same thought about it.

He sounds like he has traveled and dined out a lot more than he has worked on his contract jobs over the years. Some moderately expensive hobbies.

Jac's Namus page seems to have been removed. The unidentified remains in Wasatch County have also been removed some Namus. I can't find any kind of announcement however.
