Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP54473) and 4 other sources
In the spring of 2018, the life of 49-year-old Jason Carl Crisler took a turn that left his family and community searching for answers. On May 10, 2018, Jason was last seen in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. At the time of his disappearance, he was reportedly wearing a T-shirt of an unknown color and khaki shorts. He also had on his gold wedding band. Jason is a white male with brown hair that is greying at the temples and blue eyes. He has several distinct tattoos, including a witch on his chest, the words 'Les Miserable' on his back, and other unspecified words on his left side.

The circumstances surrounding Jason's disappearance are troubling. He was facing criminal charges at the time he went missing, which may have been a contributing factor in his decision to leave. A few days after he was last seen, on May 12, his wife received a distressing letter from him in the mail. In the letter, Jason wrote that he was 'taking the coward's way out,' which suggested he might harm himself. He has not been seen or heard from since. He was known to be driving a maroon and red Ford Taurus. It is also believed that he may have had a firearm with him, as he held a concealed carry permit.

The search for Jason has been ongoing, with his case being entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System. The Murfreesboro Police Department is handling the investigation. Despite the passage of time, his case remains unsolved. The troubling contents of the letter he sent to his wife, coupled with the fact that he was potentially armed, have led to his classification as an endangered missing person. The lack of any contact or sightings since May 2018 has left his loved ones in a state of uncertainty. The overview of this case points to a man who was under a significant amount of stress, who left his life behind under a cloud of troubling circumstances that continue to be investigated.
