NE NE - Jason Jolkowski -19 - Omaha - 13 Jun 2001 - #4

Pin is Jason’s home and the yellow route is the route took on the YouTube video.
The most common route people mention, I have highlighted in red.

Too my knowledge there is no known sighting that can pin him to any certain route, which is what makes this case the most baffling I have ever heard. Just disappears into thin air.

I wonder if any of his old school mates still think about him and wonder.

i think there's a statement from the brother about which direction he started off walking, though that would only tell you the first block or so, if that. don't know if we know where on the high school grounds the coworker was going to pick him up, but knowing that might help narrow the route he would be expected to take.

of course, whether he took detours along the way, voluntarily went somewhere else, or was picked up or kidnapped by someone are all open questions.

we do know for sure that he didn't make it to the school. that's confirmed by school security footage. depending on how many cameras there were, where they were pointed, and what lines of sight they had, one might even be able to rule out jason reaching anywhere within a block or two of the school.

it is the most baffling case i know of. he almost literally disappears into thin air. in a relatively small area of a suburban neighborhood, in broad daylight.

Yeah, agree with what everyone's pointed out. Jason was known to be exceptionally kind and helpful and sweet, I definitely think someone took advantage of that and lured him into either their home or car under the guise of needing help. The police should've taken it seriously way sooner, ten days is more than enough time for the perp to clear their tracks. Poor Jason.

it's also long enough that people who had seen something barely notable might not remember it. also, people with security camera footage might have recorded over it.

hell, if the police had started immediately, and canvassed the neighborhood, they might have been able to get enough recollections from enough people that, even if no one remembered seeing him, they could constrain his possible paths and timings. "oh yeah, i went for a walk on such and such street at such and such time yesterday. didn't see anyone." "that's when i was mowing my lawn. no one walked by." etc. but starting 10 days later, whatever witness statements police have are going to be hazy and stuff will have been lost.
