In the quiet coastal town of Sneads Ferry, North Carolina, 43-year-old Eric Jason Dunn, also known as Jason, disappeared on August 11, 2014. He was a white male with sandy or light brown hair and green eyes, standing at approximately 5'10" and weighing between 150 and 175 pounds. On the evening he was last seen, he was wearing a white t-shirt, navy blue shorts, and gray and white beach shoes. Dunn had a tattoo on his back and other tattoos on his chest and side. He also had a noticeable scar on his chest and was blind in one eye. Compounding the concern for his welfare, Dunn had a prior traumatic brain injury that required medication.
The circumstances leading up to Dunn's disappearance began with a visit to a friend's house about a mile from his own home. His wife spoke with him at 12:05 a.m., at which point he indicated he was not ready to come home. Earlier in the evening, he was seen on surveillance footage at a local convenience store with a friend. It was not unusual for Dunn to be away from home for a night or two, so a missing person report was not immediately filed. However, as days passed with no contact, his family's concern grew.
A few days after he was last heard from, Dunn's blue Mitsubishi Lancer was discovered abandoned in the parking lot of the Sneads Ferry Post Office. The vehicle was less than a mile from his residence, with the windows rolled down, but there was no sign of Dunn. His phone has not been used since that night. The friend he was with on the day of his disappearance has been cooperative with the investigation conducted by the Onslow County Sheriff's Office. Despite their efforts, little evidence has surfaced, and there are no suspects in his case. Authorities do not believe he vanished of his own accord. The overview of this case is one of a sudden and unexplained disappearance, leaving a family with unanswered questions and a community with a lingering mystery. The lack of significant leads and evidence has left the case unsolved.
