The search continues for 35-year-old Jesus Mancilla-Velez.

On Wednesday, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation asked for the public's help to identify a camera found in the back of the missing Warner Robins man's car.


Crosby says according to friends, it wasn't there the night before he went missing.

"Family members said that he kept that car immaculate, kept it clean, and the friends that were with him on the previous night did not see that camera in the car," says Crosby.

He says the black Q-See camera with lime green or beige paint on its side most likely came from a home or a business.

Joint Task Force Investigates Houston County Missing Person - UPDATE

More than a month after a Warner Robins man vanished, family and friends of Jesus Mancilla-Velez cling to hope that he may still be found alive.

The GBI suspects foul play.

VANISHED
On Sept. 5, the Saturday before Labor Day, Mancilla-Velez was last seen getting into his black 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe alone and driving away from his Red Fox Run mobile home by a neighbor washing their car. The neighbor estimated the time between 9 and 10 a.m.
The Tahoe, with the driver’s window half-way down, was found later that same day abandoned in bushy overgrowth at the edge of a wooded area off a dirt road in Crawford County.

To Add:
The Friday night before Mancilla-Velez went missing, he & friends were in downtown Macon with Mancilla-Velez driving. They’d returned to Lunce’s home (a friend) early Saturday morning, and she last saw him about 4:30 a.m. when he left for his home.
Lunce recalled Mancilla-Velez had been on his cell phone a lot that night, saw him using a dating app, but didn’t think much about it until after his disappearance.

•Leo and his wife, Rosa, went to his brother’s Red Fox Run mobile home.
•The door was locked; bro used a tool to get inside.
•Jesus’s dog was inside, his clothes from the night out with friends, & his gold chain with a Virgin Mary pendant (often worn) was there
•Also, there were lit candles.
•Jesus carried large amounts of cash with him (likely ~$1000 that day)

IMO, if his dog was found inside the home and especially if there were lit candles left inside the home, I feel that may mean he wasn’t planning on being gone very long at all.
