Jack Simmons

Jack “Red” Simmons, property 24, was past seen successful Salt Lake City, Utah successful April oregon May 1994.

Jack had lived successful St. Anthony, Idaho for astir of his life, and had moved to Utah successful 1988, wherever helium lived with a roommate. He was not successful regular interaction with his astir of his household aft arriving successful Utah, but did interaction his parent often.

Sometime successful the outpouring of 1994, Jack was assaulted with a hammer, and had to beryllium hospitalized with a caput injury. He reportedly suffered from amnesia for a mates weeks to a period pursuing his hospitalization.

Jack was inactive recovering from this ordeal erstwhile he, perchance prematurely, returned to his occupation unloading trucks. He near for work, carrying his ghetto blaster, and ne'er returned.

It’s not known whether helium really made it to work, oregon whether helium was driving a conveyance erstwhile leaving home.

Initially, it was believed that helium had wandered disconnected owed to amnesia and would yet find his mode back, portion constabulary besides considered the information that Jack had a mates warrants and whitethorn person been hiding to debar arrest.

His household believes helium was the unfortunate of foul play, and believes it was connected to the anterior assault. Jack was progressive with drugs and whitethorn person owed money.

A backstage researcher assisting with Jack’s lawsuit received a extremity via societal media, that Jack was murdered execution benignant astatine a campground adjacent Mantua, specifically astatine the basal of a histrion wherever a creek runs beneath. The researcher brought cadaver dogs to the determination and they alerted doubly to the beingness of quality remains. However, owed to the moving creek, the researcher believes that immoderate bones would person washed distant and a hunt yielded nary results.

The researcher past stated that helium believed the homicide whitethorn person occurred astatine different spot upstream, and arsenic of the astir caller nonfiction I’ve found, helium planned to person that country searched also. The nonfiction is from 2020, and I haven’t seen immoderate denotation of whether immoderate further searches were really done.

I’m admittedly skeptical, successful general, of tips offered done societal media. It sounds arsenic though this idiosyncratic had a batch of item astir a determination and how, but thing astir who killed him? I genuinely anticipation the extremity leads to thing utile truthful his household tin person answers, but usually societal media tips don’t cookware out. It’s been implicit 3 years since the extremity surfaced, truthful my hopes aren’t excessively high. I usually don’t deliberation amnesia is simply a tenable mentation for a disappearance, but successful this case, I deliberation it could beryllium possible.
