My husband Jesse has been missing now for about 48 hours. He missed his 2nd day of work today inprocessing from Iraq and is now considered AWOL. He supposedly went to the hospital yesterday to the social work clinic for an appointment at 4pm. Who knows if he actually WENT though and the clinics are closed on weekends. The military police are looking for him, too. He has not tried to use his debit card and his car is in the same spot as it was 2 days ago. I am VERY worried about him so PLEASE pray that he is okay. I am worried he is having some kind of post traumatic stress disorder problem or something like that because I don't think he would do this...I have exhausted all my resources and don't know what else to do except wait. Please just keep him in your thoughts. I would be lost without him and Jessiah keeps asking for Daddy. I can't even bear to listen to him. I don't know if I am strong enough to do this. Please pray that God will give me strength. Thank-you all...

My husband, Jessiah is now listed as a missing person on the national database. He still has not made any phone calls from his cell phone, not used his debit card, he still has not gone home, he doesn't have his car or any clothes, and doesn't have any credit cards to his name. The last anyone saw of him was him getting in a cab. Him and his friend Kyle had rented a hotel room less than half mile away, so Kyle was going to walk him there. When they walked out of the club though, there was a taxi already there ready to leave with some people they didn't know. Kyle asked the cab driver if he could give Jesse a ride across the street, and he said yes, so Jesse got in. That's the last anyone has seen or heard from him. Please PLEASE keep praying. We are doing all we can and are constantly on the phone trying to contact different people. We have emailed our senators and representatives, as Jesse's chain of command isn't helping me at ALL and think he is just hiding. My gut tells me that something is really wrong though. It has been 63 hours as of right now. He was SO incredibly happy...He wouldn't do this...Please pray!!!!!

Jessiah is still missing. In another 2 hours, it will be 4 entire LONG days. At this point, I really don't think he is voluntarily just hiding, based on all the evidence. His case was turned over to an actual detective with the Clarksville PD today instead of just a regular patrol cop. His unit is now also worried and has completely changed their attitude toward me. They are all also searching. Tonight, all of his friends went to different bars, to stores, even to clubs and bars in Nashville. All went to different places to try and find him. Jesse's mom, my mom, baby Jessiah, and I are going to be flying down to TN in the next few days unless he is found. We are trying to get the army to pay for at least my flight and Jesse's mom's flight, but usually they only do that for injured or dead soliders, not soldiers listed as AWOL. We are still trying, but right now tickets are $900 each with it being Thanksgiving week. If we have to pay full price, we will. I have also attached a picture of Jessiah. Please repost and pass this around, especially in the TN area so that maybe SOMEONE has seen him. Thank-you all so much for your prayers and support. I am trying REALLY hard to stay strong, but I'm not doing very well...

There has really been no change in my husband's status. We have heard nothing. All of his friends have been searching down in TN and haven't found ANYTHING. His case was assigned to an actual detective this afternoon. I spoke with her and she was VERY nice and seemed genuinely concerned. She got the whole story and also has already gotten statements from his friends. The first place she was going to start her search was the cab companies. She said she was going to get right on this investigation. I think she will really get stuff taken care of, as much as she can...I know there are SO MANY of you out there searching, thinking, and praying for my husband and my family...Thank-you from the very bottom of my heart. Your support means the world. You never know WHAT might help! I am willing to do ANYTHING to find him...He really needs to come home to us. Our son keeps saying "Daddy, choo choo" because he wants to play trains with his Daddy. He is 22 months old. I am glad the last thing we said to each other was "I love you". No matter where he is or what he's going through, we know he loved us SO much. He would not do this voluntarily. I hope that wherever he is, he is safe, whether he is suffering some kind of mental or physical problem. Please just continue to pray for us...His mom, my mom, Jessiah Jr, and I are flying to TN at 6:30 tomorrow morning. I will be in touch with those of you in TN when I get there tomorrow. I am diong the best I can...I am just kind of dead inside right now and I'm just kind of in shock...Thank-you ALL again. Every single person that reposts the bulletins, everyone praying, etc. etc. THANK-YOU. We hope he comes home safe...WE LOVE YOU JESSIAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey everyone. I have gotten such a COMPLETELY overwhelming response. I have over 350 messages in my inbox right now of people with prayers and wishes for Jessiah and our family. It makes me cry and it also makes me STRONG to know how many of you out there CARE. Thank-you...I can't say it enough. As of tonight, the 21st, it will be 5 full days that Jessiah has been missing with absoutely no trace. I keep getting on here to maybe see if my husband has been on by some weird chance, but he hasn't. I wish I had the time to email every single one of you back, but I just can't. So PLEASE know that I am thankful for every single one of you searching or praying...THANK-YOU!!!!! Jessiah's mom, my mom, Jessiah Jr, and I are leaving early in the morning to fly to Tennessee and will be there tomorrow a little after 3 pm Clarksville time. I will be contacting those of you who I said I would from Tennessee when I get in...PLEASE JUST KEEP PRAYING FOR US! I'm going to find my husband come hell or high water. I won't rest until I do. We are going to Tennessee to find him and we WILL. I have faith...GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
