Lester Jones was a 26-year-old Graduate Student at Mississippi State University when he disappeared on January 11, 2010.
Lester’s brother was the last person to see him on the morning of January 11th at his family’s home in Tupelo. Lester stopped by briefly on his way back to Starkville from Tunica, Mississippi and he was supposed to be heading to Jackson to visit some fraternity brothers that night.

He has several tattoos that are distinguishable, “LJ” on his chest, “JESUS” on his back, a picture of a pit bull on his left arm and the quote “To live is to suffer, to survive is to find meaning in the suffering” in an unknown location, possibly on his back.
