Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP41786) and 8 other sources
On January 13, 2018, 45-year-old Jason Carl Hoffman was planning to make the drive from his home in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, to visit a friend in Delaware. He was reported missing by his family that same day after he failed to arrive at his destination. At the time he was last seen, there was uncertainty about the vehicle he was driving; it was either his own 2006 British racing green Mini Cooper S, or possibly a rental car. This detail created a complicated picture for investigators from the very beginning of the search.

Jason, who also went by the nickname 'Jase,' is a white male, standing between 5 feet 10 inches and 5 feet 11 inches tall, and weighing around 180 pounds. He is mostly bald with blue eyes and wears glasses. His loved ones described him as having kind eyes. In the days following his disappearance, the Bensalem Police Department urged the public to be on the lookout for him and his green Mini Cooper, which had a Pennsylvania license plate KDX-4948. The investigation was launched swiftly, but tangible leads that could point to his whereabouts were scarce. His family's concern grew with each passing day that brought no contact from Jason.

Years have passed since Jason Hoffman was last seen, and his case remains an unsolved and painful mystery for his family and community. The initial urgent alerts have faded into a prolonged and quiet state of uncertainty. There has been no significant new information released to the public that would indicate what happened to him after he set out for his trip. The overview of the case is one of a sudden and perplexing disappearance. A man embarked on what should have been a routine drive to see a friend, but vanished without a trace, leaving behind a void of information and a family left to wonder about his fate. The Bensalem Township Police Department continues to list the case as open, and anyone with information is asked to contact them.
