On September 30, 1994, 20-year-old Jarrod Green disappeared from Searcy, Arkansas. Jarrod had indicated to his family that he had plans to meet with someone that night. During a phone call with his girlfriend, Jarrod was clearly upset but wouldn't tell her what was wrong. Jarrod had previously given a gun to a friend and retrieved the gun, saying he needed it for protection. Jarrod never made it home that evening and was never seen or heard from again. Days later, Jarrod's car was found abandoned in the parking lot of a local store. The car doors were left unlocked, windows rolled down, and the keys were on the floor. Jarrod's case went cold, his family didn't hear from law enforcement, and it felt like he was forgotten.
Meanwhile, dark stories continued to grow and spread through the community like a cancer. Not even a year later, someone else in Jarrod's circle disappeared. Another one took his own life and reportedly confessed to playing a role in Jarrod's murder beforehand. Years later, some rookie detectives decided to take a fresh look at this cold case, and there was finally some movement.
If you have any information regarding Jarrod Green's disappearance, please call the Searcy Police Department at (501) 268-3531.

I was at home when all this stuff started happening
If you don't know what do I get these books like if you ve never seen it before? I close, he don't know what you don't know how to handle it when he died
see you're not really sure what's going on and he don't don't know what to do in. My parents were definitely in that position. They didn't know what was going on
and I didn't know I was out and Texas going to grad school.
I came home because my mom
ok. You know,
and they got their stuff going on with garrison it's getting bad. We need
to come home and
come home. Even then, I didn't understand, I didn't see it and I don't know,
because I didn't want to. I was so naive myself, but I didn't know what it was, but he started
even in when he was
he was about. Ninety had been nineteen and that's something. We're still
trying to figure out like a timeline around when
actually started using one would be showing signs of use because we don't even know what the sometimes work. To be honest, we had no idea what methods fattening was and then
area where we were in thirsty, wish just replete with mass, like math production centres
wasn't on drugs. Long enough, you could see the decline. We look back at family picture. You could see the decline. What could have met, I guess, takes hold of a pretty quickly. We could see the decline in him physically,
in his behavior, but that wrapped up in a very short period of time where that became kind of at its peak? And so I would say
like to remind her six month. Maybe we're about was happening when
that drugs are involved. We called the D I had a friend.
that I went to school at her husband, was in the de eye to eye contact at her and said, hey,
can we do now? Can we get the dossier looking into this all with the same answer, and he was
You want me to do yang, California, so yeah
He had not noticed that the corruption and thirsty
accounting at the time, so
yeah he had now. Basically everybody told us there is really nothing weakening ipad people. Law enforcement people tell me turn their at also told us. This is true that essentially
the police force at the time when you're a disappeared was part in part.
Of the drug trade in that area, that they are
actually helping it along Jared, told them
that. What we were living at the like
the country club on the golf course up there and he told us
that you wouldn't believe, like everybody that lived up here, is involved and what's going on until this, the white canny sheriff was involved,
at every level, including the judge.
including the politicians almost at every level. Somebody was profiting from that drug trade and thirsty, and I believe I know it
be the case. I know that's why jerry case was never saw because we know who did it there's no,
about it: either they
Turned a blind eye or they were actively involved in what was going on, and that's why I say Jared case is that Pandora's box,
not one it's all, they did not investigate, then the fact that their
castigating now is unpleasant an uncomfortable for them because they are, there is still in positions of power and thirsty some of them and that good
come tumbling down. If you open a pandora's box, and we find there remain some them
we beginning jerry.
Father was sounding the alarm to the police that he knew who harm Jarrett and why there?
two men that you're knew who were known to be drug dealers locally and jerry,
It said that he was going to meet with them on the night that he disappeared.
He was going to talk to them about this debt that he owed and he was never seen again.
In the investigators notes from late ninety. Ninety four: it's
so they discovered that Jared. Oh, these men a significant amount of money and that they were threatening him
Other witnesses told the police at these men were claiming to be connected to the mafia and that they were heavily armed
It seems so obvious who must be responsible for this. Yet no action was taken
the green family jared disappearance up ended their entire lives. But
was something bigger than just one single missing persons case.
From the very beginning people seem to know who may Jared disappear and why,
confide in people that someone was after him for a day. This is
equally, why he was so upset when he found his girlfriend and why he wanted to get his gun back from a friend. Jurists
when cold his family wasn't hearing from law enforcement and it fell
like he was forgotten.
Meanwhile, dark stories were continuing to grow and spread throughout the community like a cancer not even a year later. Someone else who was connected to this case also disappeared and, to this day, has never been found
then another one took his own life in reportedly confessed to playing a role in jared murder beforehand, but
It wasn't forgotten years later, some rookie detectives decided to take a fresh look at this cold case and there was finally some movement in
to work in a dive into this dark underbelly that existed in and around certainty in the nineties. Germans loved ones believe this is something much bigger than a simple case of murder over a little drug debt. This story involves a complicated web of people who seem to have connections within the community that kept them out of trouble and also connections to a series of missing persons, cases and murders. Their secrets buried here that some people would prefer to stay that way for ever, but the greens feel the only way they can ever get. Peace is defined jarrett and they refuse to give up. If you have any information regarding gerard greens disappearance, please call the saucy police department at five zero one to six, eight, three five.
Three one, one of the things that I want to make sure that people understand is that this will take this with a very specific case,
