Lester Jones Jr. was last seen in person by his brother early in the morning of January 11, 2010, at his family’s home in Tupelo, where he had stopped briefly en route back to Starkville from Tunica.
That night, Lester was due to meet some fraternity brothers and other friends in Jackson, but never arrived, though a security camera at a Sprint Mart store in Flowood captured his image at 10:18 p.m. (see photo).
Lester's cell phone was left at the convenience store, was found by another customer, and turned in to the store staff.
No one has seen Lester since his disappearance.
