He was last seen outside of his neighbor's house in Vineland, New Jersey around 11:45 a.m. At the time of his disappearance, Jones loved dogs and would do anything for dogs. That day, their mother watched from a window while preparing lunch for the children.

Billy had given her the plant, she said, and a man had taken Billy.
