I have to compliment the woman interviewer...she is calm and asks really great questions.
I pray all the loved ones come home to their families.
I am going through the LDS polygamist rabbit hole. I have his name written down but I don't know why. There is a connection. We have to look into this further.
My heart goes out to his family. I pray to God that he is safe and will return home.
My child was missing for 11 days and it was the most horrible time in my life.Someone called saw her from a photo posted and they called the police. She was found was ok and safely returned, so I can’t imagine over a year and no sign.
Please spread the word of you think you see him 😢
I cannot imagine how hard that was. God bless you & your family.
I pray that Jarrett is found safe. But I'm deeply disturbed about what his parents did 20 years ago.
EXACTLY
I didn’t understand the details of that. What exactly did all that involve?
@@rosaliebarry7586it could have been them using the bathroom outside it could have been se* in public or se* in a car
What a terribly sad story..praying for his safe return 🙏❤
im curious if the gun he took was registered and if so has it been found or used since
Praying for him and his😢
Come home Jarrett
I'll be praying for you guys your family
Okay, after going over and over this, I have to speak out. @8:15 It seems that if a mother believed she possessed mothers' intuition, she would go to the spot where her son disappeared. Over and over and over. She wouldn't wait a year. Further, beyond the intuition, no mother who truly wanted to figure it out, or be close to her son in any way (just wanting to be in the last place you knew they were) possible, would not go scour the area. Not everyone acts the same, but anyone who wanted to find their child would have been all over that area. She was also dismissive of his friends, like she knew them, and there was just no reason to worry about what they were all up to the night before. You would want every miniscule detail of any information you could get. And he left his phone at home??? And, 16 year olds don't leave to hang out at 6:30 AM. He wrecked their truck, (the "fourth time" he took it off-road) the night before? Dad found the damage in the morning? Where was the dad that morning?
Parents aren’t looking too hard are they?
@@walkinaxyl the paren'ts haven't stopped looking. They are looking tirelessly. It's easy to listen to a quick soundbite and form an opinion. This video is going to give you the most important talking points. What is going on in real life is exhaustive.
Go back and watch that part where she was talking about the field that he was in she had her eyes closed the whole time and at the beginning she said well to be honest with you a lot of times when people say that they're not telling the truth why did she have her eyes closed the whole time she was discussing that with her she didn't do that in the other part of the interview she didn't close her eyes
@@Raven24444Yes, they were closed for quite a long time there.
@@shelleybelly66Do you know why his mom didn't go to the area where her son appears to have disappeared from for a year?
What a living nightmare for this poor family. I can’t even imagine losing my child. You would save
Nobody has said anything about if he had a "girlfriend", or something in that way of thinking? Online???
I doubt it was on-line, too much proof there. I've said from Day 1 that he ran off with an older woman from the age of 25-40, whether it was a teacher, someone from church or a family friend so they could be together as a couple under assumed names. Getting a new Identity is LOT easier than people think it. As a retired Police Officer the first place I would look would be on the older females who had moved away to another city/state in the first 6-8 months after his disappearance. Hiding someone out when your not even a suspect is EASY, I mean a couple months ago there was a case where a 44 year old teacher/track and field coach that was hiding her 15 year old boytoy in her basement for 8 months with her husband living upstairs in the house having no idea he was there. If you're a single/widowed/freshly divorced woman with noone else living in her house it's even easier, especially if you're not on anyone's radar, and it's probally the very last woman anyone expects.
So what was this public sexual indecency charge I been hearing about involving the parents🤔🤷🏻♀️
It's none of our business. It could have been something as simple as a man and wife being too intimate in public. The misdemeanor had nothing to do with their son.
His mom never went to the area where his scent was tracked until recently?! That seems very strange
Private property
@@selecttravelvacations7472So they wouldn't let people walk on their dirt for clues about their missing son? Please. If so, those property owners should have been investigated.
@@selecttravelvacations7472please, that’s just an excuse. If the mom wanted to look around she could get permission or be escorted by the sheriffs office.
Exactly
I was thinking the same thing , somethings off with her story
Awww he sounds like a neat kid I pray for him and his family
Praying
This is really sad. I really really hope he’s alive but after a year being gone, it’s a miracle.
Nah, he's alive and living somewhere else under an assumed name with the older woman he ran off with......
Prayers Jarred comes home safely.
So much sadness & heartbreak😢😢😢😢😢
Who was with him the night before when he went off road!? Maybe someone else was responsible for breaking the vehicle and he was going to meet them to address it. Just a thought! I pray he comes home soon and he is safe 🙏
Good question.
@angelahatt-fields9627 he had a friend with him. I believe he has been questioned. Maybe should question him again. It's been over a year, you think it be wise to questioned them again. See if any story has changed. Maybe whomever picked him up was someone he knew and they got into a argument and it went south. I think I would re interview the "friends"
@angelahatt-fields9627 exactly my thoughts!!! Re interview the so called "friends "
A friend's son was abducted years ago. For over a year we searched and questioned and grieved until one day, when visiting, my friend said..'look who is here' Out walked her son, alive, well, traumatised.I burst straight into tears of relief. He went on to marry and have a family. A miracle. I pray for these families. I pray especially for the children.
Wow what had happened? Did someone hold him captive and he escaped? Did he run away from home?
Mom looks down a lot in the first part…
Ummmmmm. So we’re really not going to address the particulars and details of the 2004 for Public Sexual Indecency incident????? For reallll? Huh??? I’m very confused
Were there tire tracks at the point at which his scent stops??? Like cmon now
Who did that?
Oh wow. I found information about the 2004 incidents. What depraved, evil parents!! If anyone wants more information about it, search for the article on the White Mountain Independent website. It's titled "Former Linden fire captain jailed for six months". IMO six months is a ridiculously short sentence for what he and his wife did!!! They are s_xual predators!
You think a 20 year old incident is related?
A great video have not heard of this case
That made me laugh when he asked how hard was he grounded… teens are funny and mischievous. I pray he’s safe. Come come🙏🏻
"Don't you dare ground me - I'll show you. You'll be sorry."
..said every chastised teen since teens have been chastised.
In a non-gun household without easily accessible firearms, he may just have survived this tantrum.
Likely because they live on a ranch. @@liviaalexander8993
I noticed the mom says the area was searched by drone, dogs, and helicopter but not by people? And why havent the parents been helping with the search?
There were search parties with people, on foot and on horses. Farm on Route 66 covered these search parties, they went with their horses, too, during day and night. Not everything is mentioned in detail here. It just didn't get wider attention until now.
WHY would any of those kids need a damn burner phone????
Why arent they saying who the rancher was? Did the rancher even exist?
No rancher has ever been identified. There is also no ranchers property in the area he went missing. Idk why the mom didn't correct that.
He was seen by a rancher on a ranchers property late at night with a gun, and his scent ended right there?
@@liviaalexander8993hopping trains maybe?
Someone who lives in the same town commented above there is no ranch in that area. It is a field. Plus no one has ever identified the rancher.
Really hope Jarrett is found. Farm on Route 66 has covered his disappearence since the start. Jarrett is a good young lad that helped with their horses, and there are lovely people living in that town. Never lose hope, and now with getting more coverage... Hope Jarrett is found.
I will keep my eye out for Jarret
Does anybody have drones to search for him, or horseback and RV riders? My prayers for his safe return.
@Chulitatr multiple searches have been done, I was part of some. The parents or relatives didn't help with the searches I was a part of.
@@liviaalexander8993Why didn't they? Had they already exhausted themselves looking? I guess the mother apparently didn't, since she never went to that area until a year later, but did the dad search for a long time?
@begood983 as far as I know theybwere invited, but chose not to attend. These were searches put on by the community.
@@liviaalexander8993being that one of the parents were accused of sexual indecency in the past (and found not guilty), do you think that’s why they chose not to be around the community?
Also, the fact that mom (who seems to care deeply about Jarrett and seems involved) had not been out to the last area he was seen until last week is a bit odd. Personally I would be obsessed with every detail and would have been out there a year ago.
@Chulitatr they did all that more then once
She sure sidelined the question on charges on public indecency, did not address why he/she did it, that its wrong, that its sick, that they are parents for christ sake! I don't think its seperate at all. Oversexual behavior by parents are red flags!!!!!!
Finally getting his name out there, thank you Prayers to the Brooks family 🙏🏽❤️
A grounded teen left with a gun... we know what happened.
That's not the whole story.
Not one tear. This mother is cold hearted. I wouldn’t be able to give an interview because I’d be too emotional to talk. This woman is too calm. Something smells.
what about the "rancher"? It seems like Jarrett was walking on his property so, did the rancher
take action? Stay strong, Jarrett! and what about the allegation's regarding SA with the parent's?
wow, I hope and pray Jarrett is okay!
There is no rancher.
@@susyque8424 it’s been verified that there is no rancher or “ranch”. It’s just an empty field. Lots of holes in the story.
Of course there is. @@suzannef8677
@@suzannef8677so who reported seeing him there? Or no one did but the dogs tracked him there?
@@suzannef8677 The dad literally said he spoke to the rancher
I have to respectfully ask what no one is........He left voluntarily it appears, he was seen alone more than once, so abduction does not seem probable at this point. He left because he wanted to. Why did he want to? Public indecency/exposer by one of the parents? It's a seperate incident? Really? This speaks volumes of the parents mentality level if you have to be told by the police thats NOT
ok to do! I agree to find the boy, not sure I agree to send him home without a full fair investigation for this kid.
He left of his own free will yes, but that doesn't mean he didn't run into a very bad person or situation sometime after that point.
As a retired Police Officer I've said from Day 1 of this case that he ran away with a older woman who was a single/freshly divorced/widowed teacher, friend from church or family friend that was aged 25-40 that he was in a secret relationship with. He took the gun with him to protect himself and her from being caught and she hid him away for a couple months until the search died down and they simply moved. Lets say it was a 28-35 year old teacher, teachers move schools all the time, especially in their first 10 years of teaching, She could have gotten a job in say Las Vegas, Phoenix/Tucson, Albuquerque or Denver, somewhere that is with-in a half way driving distance and he left with her to the interview and then stayed there in the rental house while she went back to Colorado City to have her house packed up and moved by an out of town moving service who isn't even looking for her 16 year old lover that she's running away with. and once they are out of state getting a new indentity is EASY, especially for someone who so young and so new to "the system", and once he is established with a new Identity it's easy for them to get married because his new identity is 18-19 years old and noone a few hundred miles away even thinks about it.
Why was dcf there twice just the last year?
Oh my. So sad for the parents V as well as the young man. I can’t imagine their heart break
Why take the gun? It appears from what they are saying, he was meeting someone, but they have not disclosed why they think that? I’m leaning towards harm to self. 🥺
Nah, he took it to protect himself and/or the older woman he ran off with from people who would be looking for him. I'm a retired Police Officer and I've said from DAY 1 of this case that he ran off with a older woman who he was secretly having an affair with, who was 25-40 years old that was a teacher, a friend from church or a family friend who was single, freshly divorced or widowed. She hid him out at her house for a couple months until the heat died down and they simply ran off to another town not in that immediate area or another state under an assumed name. Getting a new Identity is ALOT easier than people think it is, and hiding someone out for a couple wee/months is easier too, especially if you live alone, I mean you can explain away noises that are made when your not home/at work can simply be explained away by "oh that's my cat........". I would bet a months pay that he ran off with a woman who hide him out for a while and they just simply moved away without anyone noticing.
Poor kid 😢
Why did he have the combination for the gun safe?
How do the tracks just stop in the middle of a ranch? Jarrett had to have gotten picked up.
Ask these parents why they waited a year to get Jarett's information out there. Why they actually threatened people who were trying to get the information out.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dads fake tears
Not even bio dad
@@heatherjchase5093 Really? Not bio dad?
Nope he had a vasectomy..only bio dad to oldest son hunter. @@jeanbeans7926
Why would he want to come back home. You grounded him... He probably doesn't want anything to do with his parents anymore.
I DO NOT WANT TO BE RUDE BUT A LOT KIDS RUN AWAY AND THEY ARE IN THE STREETS YOU GUYS SHOULD CHECK IN PHOENIX, AZ IN THE SHELTER CASS 🙏😇🙏
Left with a hand gun? Or was the hand gun used against him? Susan smith vibes
Condolences to the Family and Prayers to the family to finding answers. Everyone has a past, there's only one person to judge that.
Will you be doing a segment for the remembrance date of Zachary Bernhardt? He went missing from Clearwater in the year 2000 from, Florida when he was just 8yrs old.
WHO....got charged with sexual assault???
what was the 2003/4 incident?
God bless you and your family, have they tried to get the dogs to sniff around where the scent from the dogs disappeared
IMO, no sign of life means no sign of life. He left with a gun...I think suicide.
Mom says she hasn't been back through that filled until this past week it has been 13 months since she seen her son...why is she just now retracting his steps through the field he was last seen walking through. As a mom I would have retraced it a million times over. She knows more !!!! In independent teenage boy battling parents that want him to look good in all aspects of the word in the community perhaps something more happened that morning just seems worth looking into.
Only my opinion after watching this, but I believe his plan after learning he was grounded from driving was to hitchhike or catch a ride on the road near where his scent was lost. Road was used by truckers, etc. Likely why he took the gun, he thought he may need it, just in case. Maybe he had already made plans to do something on the 4th of July that he didn't want to miss, but now wasn't able to drive himself. Things obviously didn't go as planned. I pray for Jarrett's safe return. Never give up hope!🙏🌟
Your close but yet so far away........ I'm a retired Police Officer, not from that area but still a retired Police Officer. I've said from DAY 1 of this case that he ran off with an older single/freshly divorced/widowed woman, someone who was a Teacher, Friend from Church or Family Friend that he was having a secret love affair with that's 25-40 years old and she picked him up, hid him in her house for a couple months until the search calmed down and then simply moved away with him once she got a job, I mean this was July 4th, maybe his GF was a teacher who either had or applied for another teaching job in Las Vegas, Phoenix, Tucson, Albuquerque or Denver and she hid him out in her house until it was time for her move and he simply jumped in her car and went with her hiding in the back seat until they got out of the area. Teachers move jobs ALL the time, especially in their first 10 years because they are climbing the ladder in both pay and positions, they will stay 2-3 years until their contract is up and then they will move on for 2-3 years and stay until their contracts are up then move on to the next job until they get to where they want to be.
Praying for your family
I dont know about this one. Was the rancher interviewed by police, or is that just what the parents are saying. Its all a bit odd. To say "my son wasnt depressed" etc yet he'd been grounded after taking the truck for the fourth time, did they have a bigger row about it than they are saying. Perhaps that sent him over the edge. Just because he didnt seem depressed doesnt mean he wasnt suffering and hiding it.
So has the rancher’s property been searched. He had a good description of the boots.. could he see them properly from where he was especially if he said “ he was hoofing it”.
He was the last to see him alive.
As far as the public knows,no rancher was ever identified or interviewed. Someone in that community also said there is no ranchers property in the area he went missing. It's a field located next to some train tracks. Idk. There seems to be more to this story with all that came out about the parents since he went missing.
@@aztam321 hmmm interesting 🤔 thanks for reply.
@@aztam321the rancher was interviewed. He was found credible and and not involved. I think there has been some revisions of his interview because he's afraid of the family and BB is a scary character. Many threats have been made.
One time they say the rancher seen him in the daylight walk in the field in the morning when he left the house and gives a good description of his boots another post I sing says the rancher seen him that night no way you're going to see some cowboy boots in the middle of the night walking through the field and give a good description so what's up with that really need to clarify
Parents killed him
Did camera catch him putting the gun in his waistband before confronting his mother... Perhaps he was scared of his parents or did he confront his parents and then the camera caught him putting the gun in his waistband and leaving in cell phone no way he had too much going on to involved in sports too many friends plus he has siblings to protect he's not going to end his life I don't care what happened to him or what he was exploited to. Another angle would be perhaps he was threatening the parents about telling the community about the shady sexual bulshit things they were doing and the parents know they needed to keep up with the Joneses and keep a good reputation going so he became a liability just saying need to look into it much deeper.
Ish the parents are so sketchy
Do they not have a red light to light up to state that they're recording? The background talking was rude.
The gun owner likely took him out for stealing.
I hope they find him.
Need to talk to the neighbor whose pasture he was going through. He probably shot him seeing that Jared had a gun ...just my take and would explain the tracks stopping like that
No that's been vetted
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yeah, I do not believe anything the mother has said, she didn't simply answer the questions the interviewer asked, which is a red flag. If your child goes missing, you want to visit the area in case the officers missed something, especially knowing your child. And the sexual misconduct wow, she certainly didn't answer that question and I think the police need to be looking at these parents' property and maybe asking some of his closer friends what his relationship was with his parents. Don't overlook people just because they have a blood tie, it means nothing to hard people who don't care. I really don't understand the whole incident to do with him getting punished for using the 4-wheeler, isn't that just a boy thing who lives in the country? I think they went ape shit over him using something of theirs and then needed to cover up for each other. Either way the police are probably right on their tails and we will hear an update once they find his body
Why would the parents have a gun in their safe to where their kid had access? Just dumb parenting mow they suffer the consequences
Where in Arizona is he missing from? Im in Morristown and have never heard of this
Joseph City Arizona between Winslow and Holbrook. It's only 13 months later that the parents are willing to do any anything like this to get his name and information out. People have been begging them for 13 months to do something like this. They're refused. They did one news article and that's it.. Plus there's this. The parents. They were charged with bringing minors into their homes and getting them drunk. They had oral sex in front of the teenagers and encourage the teenagers to do the same. They for present with one girl during a vaginal piercing and watched and took pictures. They Lord the teenage girls in saying they needed a babysitter and the girls never babysat anyone. They pled guilty to these crimes and bedtime this was before Jared's birth. But there are tons of pictures obtained from internet sources that include the parents names and pictures and it's not even swinging it's just a lot of perversion that they are part of.
@@girlballer20 thank you, yeah I try to not judge people for their past mistakes because I myself have a past that on paper looks like I am a drug addicted child abuser when the real fact is I used bad judgement when choosing a partner and called LE for help leaving but was ultimately arrested for admitting that I lived at the residence where he was committing crimes so I understand that the way crimes are reported aren’t always accurate in portraying the real situation, but it’s hard not to take their past into consideration when something like this happens and they aren’t immediately honest and forthcoming! I feel like if what his mother says is true he may have ran away due to her trying to ground him, but who knows really? I just hope he is safe and happy somewhere!
@@spun1that1girl that goes both ways. I'm a SA victim and my SF was prosecuted by the same prosecutor and county as this case. What the charges were was only a tiny fraction of what actually happened. Add a plea agreement to that (just like these two were given) and even more of the facts fall to the side. I've had contact with victims family. They have said the same thing. There's even more to the story than this sickness. As for the later stuff, after the jailtime they did, there are pictures and social media entries that speak for themselves.
@@spun1that1girl it's not just the parents past that leads me to this opinion It's the fact that it's a very isolated area. No unknown Vehicles were seen out in that area and there were people around that day. If anybody had picked him up that day it would have gotten around that town of 3,000 people. They could not have kept that quiet. He didn't have a phone so how would he contact anybody. He left with absolutely nothing except the gun. A teenager who's running away takes some things with them. I think he took off with the gun out of fear for his life, not to run away. The family would have people believe that Jarrett has been seen but there's been absolutely nothing that indicates that he's alive. Most runaways contact somebody they know. They don't just disappear Into Thin Air. And then yeah there is the fact that for a year we have all been begging them to do something like this to get Jarett's name out and they would never. They did one quick interview with the local paper. There are groups of people who have done so much more than the family did trying to find him. People who live in that area don't even know about the disappearance. You can see those responses in the comments. There is so much. But it's NOT just the past crimes that has many of us believing they had something to do with the disappearance.
@@girlballer20 that's what I'm saying, I live not too far and I never heard of him! There is definitely something fishy, I just don't know if he tried to run and they caught up with him or what? Could be that he knew something criminal that would get them locked up? I just don't know enough to form an opinion at this point, but I plan to do some research and you have helped me dramatically so thank you soooooo much!
💔
Is there anyway to remove that huge banner on the bottom of the video? It covers up so much!
no school?
It’s the rancher who saw him in his field
Sounds like a runaway who had some help. Hopefully he's ok.
I hope the parents are charged with not keeping the gun secured.
what? what the hell for? why? what's your logic there?
@@hardtakeoffhe raised around this lifestyle.
I hope the child is found safe.
The gun would be the least of my worries. Since you want to bring charges against the parents for not securing it, I doubt those would fly. The gun was in a safe.
In rural areas things are a bit different. It may have been locked up btw but he had access to the key or code. He wasn’t 3 yrs old. Why jump to charging the parents?
@selecttravelvacations7472 the missing person is from Arizona. I agree though the parents don't need charged with that.
I see there was a possible sighting in Amarillo, TX. Interesting part this is the first of any knowledge of this case, locally 08/09/2024
Locally it was everywhere
What is it the parents did 20 years ago? 🤔
Wth was mom doing at the 5 yr. olds birthday party? 😢
Bless her heart ❤❤
excuse me? how old was he in 03/04?
not enough? your covering up something!!!
😢
Im getting he ran away from home there was a fight where he felt trapped. Something happened fast. The timeline of events may show more. Curious if the thing he broke was a dirt bike? Theres a secret. When he took the pew is important. Location bike trail or trail, wet water rain, highway, town (tower stands out) 1-5 miles and fence and cactus. Location of pew: stranded (tree or cactus) do not enter, camp site and farm (tower or cilo). 🤷♀️🙏 strange things he was running to no where, and his mom states she has only recently went down the rd he was last seen....
🙏🏻💙
He left on independence day. That says it all for me.
Is there any bodies of water in the area?
Many bodies of water around there are many sink holes around those areas as well
@conniebishop3966 that's a rather presumptive statement. I disagree.
@@FloridaProud7684it's the opposite for me as a homeschooler. My 17& 20 yo children are well aware of the evils that lurk around
He went to kill and table turned
I've said from day 1 that he ran off with a older woman, whether it be a teacher, a woman from church, or a family friend so they could be together and she's hiding him out in another town or maybe even state under a fake name. I'm a retired Police officer and the first place I would have looked at is who the females are that moved within the first 6-8 months of his disappearance while they get the stuff he needs to live a new life, because I'd bet a months pay he's with one of them living as BF&GF/Husband and wife and they wouldn't have left without a plan and having their ducks in a row, a new identity is EASY to obtain, You can get a fake I.D. and fake Birth Certificate on or near ANY college campus and he was a pretty big kid size wise, it would have been easy for him to pass as a 18,19 or 30 year old, and once you have that fake I.D. you just simply take that I.D. to an out of town/state DMV and bam... and you simply take that ID, a piece of mail and birth certificate to the county SSA office and bam.... you now have a completely new LEGAL Identity. It's not as hard as people think.....
I hope your son is able to come home soon. 🩵
I didn't hear the name of the town he disappeared from?
Joseph city Arizona
It sounds a lot like self-harm/S
What about the semi drivers going to the dump.? Did they get interviewed? They should look at them
Idk going out on a night where lots of people are out drinking, partying, taking a gun? Could've been meeting up with other teens and maybe sone other kids he was having issues with were attending... kids aren't always as honest as we would like them to be. I mean, why take a gun to a parade?
Maybe he was trying to show off for some friends and being the 4th of July and guns going off in my town, maybe he was accidentally shot showing off?
jarrett Biggs?
Jarrett Brooks.
single mom? fentenal overdose, ca?
Did he have a girlfriend or was he gay? Meeting a guy somewhere?
That's what I'm thinking
Now Bullhorn Betty and the crama youtubers will jump on this to harass the Mom. Wait for it...
