- Details of Disappearance:
- On May 20, 1980, in Florida, Jason’s mom left him with her boyfriend, Roscoe Pierce, while she worked. Later that day, Jason disappeared. Pierce said Jason wandered off near a store, and his mom believed him at first and reported Jason missing.
But the next day, the mom got suspicious because Pierce took some things from their apartment and left. Police then found out Pierce was a wanted man from another state, accused of hurting a child. They found him two days after Jason vanished. When police questioned him about Jason, Pierce tried to grab an officer’s gun and was shot and killed. He never said where Jason was.
Because of all this, police think something bad happened to Jason, and his case is still unsolved.
