🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Sending my best wishes to you and Josh's family. Im glad his case is getting coverage. Especially with him traveling. I'm from TN myself and I'm sure there will be a ton of people seeing this video who are a lot closer to his last known sighting. In cases like this coverage is key. Best luck to your family. 💙
I watched this and thought holy smoke he seems like such a good guy I hope he is ok and wanted to send best regards to someone close to him,I hope it's some confusing choice he is choosing on his own behalf and comes home soon,my heart goes out to you and your family
Praying that he’s just taking a break from stress and he gets back to your family safe and healthy.
I have done this twice in my 60 years of life.
I had heard about this when he first went missing but hadn’t heard anything else til now while scrolling Facebook. I hope your family can get some answers.
One thing is very clear from this video, Josh is so very loved. I truly hope Josh is still out there and the family can be reunited. He appears to have such a lovely and understanding support system.
I felt the same way. You can tell just how special he is to them. I truly hope he is found safe.
Everyone needs an “Aunt Penny” like her…
AMEN!!!! Much love to Aunt Penny!!!!
Aunt Penny's on here like it's fine John it's just a tornado 😂😂😂😂
Anytime a car is missing, I immediately think of all of the vehicles that have been recovered from water sources, often times with the remains of the missing still inside.
Unfortunately I had the same thought. I hope that's not the case here.
Same.
Me too
I know. I feel like social media cancel culture threw the baby out with the bath water with that company that voluntarily drags water sources for cars with bodies… adventures with purpose …
Could he have had an accident and ended up in water! Call AWP and ask Jared to help
As someone who has had a few nervous breakdowns, I can tell you that your mind is totally not your own at that point. You think completely differently than you normally would and it's a constant internal fight.
Honestly this is so true. I never took off during a breakdown, but at 19-25 yrs, the highest risk time, I didn't have a car. By the time I did, I had promised myself I'd head to the ER next time I had the first sign of trouble. But I did some very bizarre things & people forget that during a breakdown, manic phase, psychotic break or other serious "falling apart," we can easily hurt ourselves fatally. Your mind can be racing, and some people don't even realize if they are speeding in that state. I think people sometimes want a really complex mystery or a very cohesive narrative, and I really appreciate that this channel does not entertain this missing 411 nonsense. Part of mental health awareness is understanding the limitations we face in keeping ourselves safe when we are not competent, which can happen to lots of people- I'm freaking brilliant tbh & I do fantastic things at my job, but my mind is wonky sometimes, and I'm not always competent, esp in my younger years. We can lose control of cars, attempt physical feats we aren't capable of, or get lost in severe environments very easily. And Mother Nature is brutal, and she does not grant wishes...
@@montananerd8244
My goodness thank you so much for your words.
I understand what you’re talking about.
Highly educated and well versed but my brain can get wonky sometimes.
@@nanaman exactly! And arguing with your logical self about crazy things.
@@montananerd8244 I'm glad you're still here!
I've never had a nervous breakdown, but I have autism and meltdowns are a very frequent occurance for me at the moment. I don't feel in control of myself during meltdowns, but I also kind of don't realise that I'm not in control, if that makes sense. Meltdowns also make me catastrophize and feel like my whole life is over and nothing can be fixed, this often leads to me feeling as though I'd be better off dead.
I'm sorry if I'm talking too much about myself here, I'm not trying to take over, it's just that I know how bad my meltdowns make me feel, and I can imagine that a full on breakdown must be even more horrible.
I went to high school and was friends with Josh years ago. Please share and get this out there so maybe we can find him! We love you Josh!
Hi there, I live in a border town. they do have LPR readers here 100%. I hope this family does reach out to border patrol and I hope BP can provide some leads. I believe they also have cameras setup as well.
Prayers to everyone. I am Tiernon’s mom, josh spent many hours at my house. He is loved abs missed! Please help bring Josh home!
Call Doug Bishop!!! He finds cars underwater!!
I thought this very thing the moment he nor his car has been found. Start in the area he was last seen. Looking for bigger areas of water that has access from a road. I’m sure there are so many tho.
I almost posted exactly the same! Doug is the best!
6:14 they call this "patchwork tattoos" by the way 😊 thank you for all the hard work you do for families
What a delightful family! Aunt Penny is exactly like her name!! Everyone needs an Aunt Penny in their life. Josh, if you're out there, let them know you're okay so they don't suffer and we know you don't want that.
Absolutely adore aunt Penny's attitude when it comes to those trolls especially. Really hoping they get a word from him, soon.
To the friends and family of Josh, I hope you get answers soon. Heartbreaking.
I wonder if he took cash out to buy/pay for something. Could he have an appointment for a flight lesson/purchase from Craigslist etc ....although that's a very long journey for a purchase. But it may explain the cash withdrawal and still using his debit cards. I googled it and Mena does have a flight school...just incase it's of use.
In the shop footage, he does seem in a rush...he is fidgety, unless he has ADHD (like me), most people only do that when in a rush or stressed.
And this final part is very very shaky, but in the external petrol station pictures, in one of the pictures there almost looks like a face in the passenger seat. All the others have reflections, so it could just be that and I'm seeing a face where there isn't one.
The going to purchase something was what I thought of immediately too!
It is a long distance, but I've definitely had friends who have gone cross country for purchases if it's something specific (specific type of show cattle, etc).
Edit: I guess the one weird thing about this is why he didn't take his cell phone.
What a lovely family. Josh is so loved. John, thank you for the work you do
That's a lot of travel. A lot of potential that somebody saw him. Man, praying for Joshua's family. I'm in MO and I'll definitely be sharing.
He’s saving his cash for something that’s why he is using plastic I don’t really understand this missing person he clearly left on his own accord and was obviously headed somewhere. Doesn’t seem to me that he is headed to self harm himself why drive that distance to do something to yourself
I have a feeling that when he left he had planned on returning within a week or two but something happened. I think the reason he took the cash from the attic but continued to use his bank card is because he had the exact amount of cash he needed to purchase something he wanted. I'd love to know if he talked about
Perhaps many items for survival in the future.
Getting away from stressful situations to clear his mind and head.
What a wonderful family. And Josh sounds like a great person. Unfortunately, I agree witn others that the most likely answer is water, given the missing car. He may have just wanted a break and some space and simply got tired and ended up in water. It's just theres so many places. But I hope for a happy ending though
What a wonderful aunt and sister he has. I have a strong feeling like you do, John, that he is alive and out there, I really hope that he sees or hears about this video and gets in touch.
Is it just me or does he look a little like Post Malone?
I hope he is okay and his family gets the answers they seek. ❤
Good friend of Josh’s here! We always called him our own personal Post Malone. He doesn’t just look like him, their personalities are strikingly similar as well!
This is what I thought, too. I live in SE Texas, and figured I would definitely notice/remember him if I saw him around lol.
I hope he is okay and reaches out to family or friends soon.
Knowing what exactly happened during that 911 call could really give some insight on a possible outcome or scenario of what happened with this case.
Josh is one of my best friends. I hope he is found soon! Thank you for spreading the word!
Please look into possibility of job scam. There are instances of serial killers baiting people for employment and then burying them on site of a farm for example. Check his deleted phone data
You are mentioned frequently in this post.
Stay safe and have faith.
🙏
@@twocents7495
😮
You might be on to something!
As he was waiting for his card to go through he kinda danced light heartedly like a person would do while waiting and in a non chalant or good mood. Like no distress at all.
Getting ready to watch. Keep up the good fight, John.
Thanks John for all that you and your team do, bringing cases to the forefront and keeping them in the public’s minds.
Im so sorry for the heartbreak and anxiety that Josh's loved ones are experiencing. What an odd situation this is.
There is the possibility that he met with an accident while he was out traveling. I always worry about a vehicle underwater when there have been no sightings of the vehicle. But where would you begin to search in the water in this situation? Sending love and good wishes to this family.
Yes and I’m also thinking everything went great at first, then somewhere in Oklahoma he encountered a bad person.
I'm praying Joshua's family and friends get answers soon 🙏
Jordan and Penny, my prayers are with you in your search. Having John Lordan in your corner is a blessing.
Hope he comes home safe and well, and for his family to get him back. 🙏
Oh guys,I sure hope you get answers..🙂 Josh is somewhere,and it's just about getting his face in front of as many people as possible!!
Sending love and prayers,from West Virginia..❤
I am a person who struggles with mental health. If I were to want to disappear, so to speak, I would take one final road-trip to somewhere beautiful. I wouldn’t care if cameras saw me. It would confirm my location so they would know the general area where I was heading.
The gas station footage appears fairly normal, but he doesn’t look like he wants to interact with the clerk. He looks like he wants to be left alone and to get on with his drive. Just my opinion.
But him taking out $400.00 before leaving home makes little sense in that context.
Another great family interview,John. Your interview skills are second to none, you're so caring and your compassionate nature shows through. First off let me say that I love Aunt Penny,she seems like she could be everyone's aunt and her determination to find Josh and her love for Josh was very evident in this interview. Jordan seems very intelligent and the close relationship that she and Josh share is something that everyone who is close with a sibling can relate to. As far as what's happened to Josh, I can't say but I definitely think he's still out there somewhere and will return,I think he was just overwhelmed and needed to get away and as the time went on maybe he felt funny about being gone so long and he's perhaps embarrassed to contact anyone now. I just hope that he's found safe and he and his family can return to their normal lives and have a happy reunion.
Searchlight, my favourite show! That said, for every Searchlight episode there's another family in agony 😢😢💔
They are all my favorite too @Barbara T
Can’t believe how many just disappear every day baffling
Did I understand correctly that Josh left his cell phone at his apartment? If I am correct, that is concerning to me. I pray he is found safely and soon.
He just wanted to get away for a bit go off grid hopefully 🙏 he’s ok
So many times with these cases John covers, we have a sinking feeling we know the conclusion.
In the case of Josh, I have a positive feeling that he is still out there waiting to be found.
If he was on the hiking trail, is he challenging himself physically to clear his mind mentally? This sounds like a young man (He is our son's age) that felt he was under pressure on many fronts. I think he is out there, stay the course Aunt Penny & Jordan, there ia a reunion in your future!
This is such a strange case. I pray that Josh is found 🙏
Des moines here. ...the message from his family at the end had me in tears. Hoping he comes home.
I dunno when they go missing with the car I always think water. Are we 💯 sure that was him traveling in that car?
It looked like him in the last video.
@@kathybartlett624 oh I couldn’t see I was driving and listening to
He looks pretty calm in the footage. Im thinking his car is in a ditch or in water. I believe it was an accident
Lots of wind turbines in Texas. South Texas is home to several significant wind farms, with the Los Vientos Wind Farm being the largest in the state.
Sounds to me like he was going to purchase something for the $400 cash plus $4-$7,000 from the attic because he is not using the cash during his trip, if he was going to buy something illegal then I hope it wasn't a robbery gone bad. That's a lot of cash to be going by yourself to buy anything in another state. And If someone took his car and are still using it they usually find the same model of car in a parking lot and take their license plate to put on the hot car, its much safer if they find one in another state so the local license plate readers won't give dmv info on their pc. Do we know his past criminal history? Thank you for another amazing long video John, have a safe and a happy Memorial Day
This is exactly what I was thinking! I've made purchases like this before, often on craigslist (perfectly legal ones for livestock equipment, etc) and they're often done in cash. My behavior would have looked much like this: pulled cash, but used a debit card to buy snacks and fuel on the subsequent road trip to go meet up with the seller.
Edit to note: always bring a friend or two, let people know where you're going, and try to meet in a public place if you can to be safe doing this!
I guess the one weird thing that seems to contradict this is why his phone was left at home....
@@advena996 I agree 100%, when I go to buy guns for my collection from private buyers I never go alone when I bring that kind of money
It doesn't have to be anything criminal he was going off to buy. If it wasn't drugs maybe he was going to buy something unique because most things could be found much closer to home. I was wondering if maybe a buddy from the military had called and asked him for help with money, requested a loan or something. My final thought is had he had a girlfriend or person in the past that meant a lot to him? My sister once had an ex show up at her apartment the night before he was getting married. He had cold feet and said he knew it was a mistake to marry the girl, they brought him to my house and we all talked into the wee hours. He said he could not cancel the wedding, relatives had flown in from all over the country, the wedding was huge, etc. The wedding happened and within 2 years they were divorced. Maybe Josh did have cold feet but that's not a good reason to ghost your whole family. I feel like something bad happened to Josh.
I’m Josh’s good friend. Long time neighbor to him in Iowa. We lived in a duplex unit on either side. Josh has no prior criminal record to my knowledge. Not anything major enough to be flagged or raise concern. Also my thinking with the money isn’t necessarily a single purchase, more so a safety net for him to float off of while he is traveling off the radar. You can buy a lot of cans of beans and fishing bait with a few thousand dollars so I really do believe that is the most likely scenario in regards to the money. Gives him the ability to make untraceable purchases if need be.
@@tiernonstevens2389 I sure hope you're right. He sounds like a much loved guy that tries to do the right things and be really responsible. I hope he's out there somewhere taking some alone time to chart his future. If so he should find a way to notify his family without them being able to track him. He needs to provide them with some little story or phrase only they would know to prove it is actually him letting them know that he's fine. It's just not right to scare and worry people that love and care about you when you could let them know you're not dead without revealing where you are.
Could he have had an accident and crashed into water? Would explain the missing car?
Love Aunt Penny! And love you too John-Thank you for sharing this story and our prayers go to Josh’s family and friends who want him to be safe…
Praying for Josh and his family ❤
56:30 given the earlier discussion about Canada, I wonder if he was using his debit card to create a false directional path on the road, making people think that he in fact went to Mexico. (?)
I'm glad he is using his debit card because it's the only way we seem to be able to track him
I really hope Josh is ok, that his loved ones get answers and can be reunited with him. 🙏
You can tell Aunt Penny’s an Okie through and through! I wouldn’t have gone in my shelter either 😂 I’m just north of where Penny lives in Oklahoma.. and unfortunately this is the first I’m hearing of Josh’s case. Hoping you hear from Josh soon and he’s able to gain the mental clarity it seems like he’s searching for. 💗 love from one green country Oklahoma girl to another.
This reminds me of those strange cases where someone has a head injury, and wanders aimlessly.
But... it does also seem like he's on the lam. Do we know for sure he's not "in trouble"? Were there any crimes committed in his area around his disappearance? However small, or large? Any possible criminal associations? Drug involvement? Or even any possible vigilante activity?
Maybe he was going to buy something he wanted or needed that had to do with his move. Maybe something he wanted to surprise his GF with. The person that claimed to have the item and posted it could've specified cash only. That would explain why all along the way he used his credit card and spent none of the cash. I know $400 is not a huge amount of money but some people have done terrible things to steal less from people. I wonder if the family or girlfriend knows of anything he talked about really wanting for himself, the apartment or anything she'd mentioned wanting.
I relate to Josh so much in that I too get so nervous about little things. I hope he just needed to get away for a while and will realize that even though he may not have paid his rent or other bills he won’t be going to jail when he returns. It’s all very small even if it feels like it’s the biggest problem in the world. Return home, Josh!
Sometimes it just takes a whole bunch of small meaningless things to most outsiders but it means a lot to the person
There's definitely hope in this case that Josh is still alive out there.
Car could be in a chop shop around Fort Smith. He used his ca$h to buy his way to who knows where
Something has taken this young man towards a goal of some time he was heading somewhere obviously not sure what LE can do further other then put out a missing persons citation. He’s gone on his on accord at least that is what it looks like. Hopefully he’s ok and will be found soon.
He is such a handsome young Fella..🙂
I so much hope they'll find him and that he's ok. Sounds like a really good guy!!❤
I want to tell you I have been watching you since keneka jenkins. You and Danielle hallen ( sorry if spelling is wrong) hooked me to TRUE true crime. Thank you. ❤
Cold feet. Fear of commitment it seems. I've been through it.
Aunt Penny seems like a cool person. Jordan seems very nice as well. I'm so sorry they have to deal with all these unknowns...
Ohh his auntie is cracking me up … she keeps it real 😅
His mom is the exact way
I would like to inform everyone that Joshua was found sadly hes gone but we will pray for his momma and family ❤️
Your first pronunciation of Mena was correct. ME-nuh
Hi John. Am outside of the US hence my limited knowledge. Would you be able to explain more about amber alerts and how missing people are classified? I understand that an Amber alert could be issued in one state but not another under the exact same circumstances.
Is it resource based versus circumstance based? I'm genuinely curious. You covered a case about 6 months ago where a woman reliant on a wheelchair and daily medication went missing. I asked why she wasn't classified as a vulnerable adult at the time for example.
Thanks for all you do for the families and friends in these featured cases. Not just the coverage but also the donations. Best regards from the UK
Amber alerts are used for missing children (17 & under). Missing adults unfortunately aren't given as much attention because LE will chalk it up to a runaway situation. And unfortunately to my knowledge, the only ones who can issue an amber alert is LE. So it's to their discretion.
Alot of young men look like Josh these days tbh
Wouldn’t one think the car is most likely in water? I mean obviously not always the case but missing car usually in water 99% of the time. Maybe adventures with purpose could help here
God bless Joshua, I hope he's ok. There was a time years ago when I felt I did something wrong and overreacted and wanted to run away but decided not to because I was scared. I hope that he didn't drive into a body of water, or that someone didn't hurt him. I hope that he's just hiding because he's scared of something... but I don't think with this family that he'd feel hated for anything he did. They seem very chill.
Sending love and light to the whole family. ❤
I love Aunt Penny. You can just tell she is the sweetest, warmest person. Everyone needs an Aunt Penny.
We don't have stop lights in Norman , mt ida or any of the small towns here by little Missouri falls
I hope Joshua is alright and if so, he finds the courage to reach out to family and friends. Sometimes avoiding confrontation or do not wanting to hurt someone's feeling...the longer it goes, the weight of it grows. (Only speculation with positive message was my intention).
two....theories...the car not being found is something
...i don't know the terrian in the area the plate reading stopped but .....maybe he if he camped out ....in a tent or in his car two things happened he got high jacked
i find that he was a bit antsy in the footage but seeing that be his normal then ...fine but he also looked driven to go on his task
if he didn't get high jacked then he could've on a positiveish not back dealed traded his car with someone and he's driving someone else's and the person hasn't register it cause he has a land he can keep it and use doesn't need to
i also don't wanna....blame anyone but it was just briefly noted and moved on that the girlfriend helped move and clean his house.....was there anything in the house besides the phone ...also if he left his phone in the house why was there a 911 ...call
money wasn't taken unknown if he did or anyone else
i don't know i feel like something is off here feels very off to me
He must have made the 911 call from his place and then when the call ended he left the apartment but left his phone there. Thats why the GF found the phone the next day when she went to his room place.
I’m a good friend of Josh’s, he made the 911 call and within the time dispatch decided to send a unit to his house he left town just before they arrived and left his phone in his residence. I was also there to clean out Josh’s unit. Pretty much every item he owned was still there apart from a tent, a pillow, his fishing pole, and a bag of clothes. Everything else of his seemed to be accounted for.
What's been said about the 911 call?@@tiernonstevens2389
Thank you John and enjoy your day 😊
In the video he looks perfectly fine
It also could be heading to work on an oil rig in the Gulf
Hopefully LE checked local stores for video of him possibly buying a burner phone.
Did he ever buy stuff through Craig's list or on line? Anyway he might have had a phone he used to contact sellers? Taking cash and taking off for what looked to be a quick long trip. ( extra cat food). Or maybe to help an military friend? Pick someone up? Maybe an military friend that he kept in contact with on a different phone, that was in crisis, he called 911, because he was concerned for them, but then decided to just go to them himself?
I live in Hot Springs Arkansas not too far from Mena. I know a girl who lives there who is not much older than Joshua. Mena is very small. I will definitely try to get a hold of her and ask what she's heard, if anything.
God bless you all! Feel free to contact me if there's anything else I can do from here.
Did Josh ever speak of his time in the military?
Was he going to the VA hospital for any reasons?
Stay safe and healthy if you are reading this Josh.
Everyone needs a break from this madness and it’s ok!
Josh seems quiet and focused in the ccrv video, not glancing around or relaxed. He reminds me of other cases of people who have had mental breaks and basically gotten amnesia.
If he was heading to Mexico he would need money. Which he had. Do you think he’s too embarrassed to call home at this point?
In the one gas station video, it kind of appeared that he was in a hurry but not like run out the door hurry.
Is it possible that he left to meet up with an old Army buddy that needed help and it went south? Military buddies are often tight and don’t share what is going on with outsiders. I’m wondering if anyone has checked out old military connections. Just a thought.
@LordanARTS his body was just found in Arkansas.
Melissa’s episode was great, but this case is just baffling.
hearing jordy like this breaks my fuckin heart 😭
This is crazy… sounds like he had all his ducks in a row and having a good life… what causes a man to roll out this quick… all my prayers for you guys…
I just heard that he was found in Arkansas sorry for the loss if I heard and read correctly!
I agree with the feeling that he has headed sou th. Mexico or other country
This could be an accident scenario and he went into water in his car. Call AWP snd ask Jared to help
I’m only 6:24 in but usually when the car is gone too they are in a body of water??
Can u look into the Marc Fullerton case out of missouri
Great Job Like Always!
He is been found, unfortunately not alive😢
Wth happened
Getting a visual of the purchase in the gas station, seeing maps of how far he really traveled was super helpful John!
My heart goes to Josh, Aunt Penny, Jordan & all of his family & friends!! I hope he comes home soon 🤍💜
John, are you familiar with a new missing persons app called Misper?
I have entered Joshua in the app.Hoping for the best.
@@tamaramiles4648Thank you~
Thank you Tamara!
Here un Texass the police get vehicle towed if have some type of issue no good help if needed may be un jail no good system may nevera get any legal help & screwed My son with no good health care Ford mental issue.
Hoping this young man is enjoying himself in Mexico
Missing vehicle means they are in the water somewhere. Sad case.
Not necessarily. A simple plate change makes a car disappear pretty well.
