- Details of Disappearance:
- On January 21, 1980, a man named Jennings was last seen getting gas in Marienville, Pennsylvania. His car was later found at his home, with the keys inside and loose change in the driveway, but he was gone. Police searched everywhere but couldn’t find him.
Jennings had an interesting life. He used to sing for the USO (entertaining American soldiers overseas), married a former TV host, and had a son, Emerson, who’s now a musician. Emerson wrote songs about his dad, describing him as loving but also prone to violent anger. Jennings had mental health issues (schizophrenia) and refused his medication. His marriage ended in divorce, and he moved to Pennsylvania. He sometimes threatened to kidnap his son.
When he disappeared, Jennings was secretly dating several women, some of whom were married. Police think he was murdered, possibly because of these complicated relationships, but the case is still a mystery.
