Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP22980) and 4 other sources
Jeffery Lynn Wall was 52 years old when he was last seen on September 21, 2013, in Arlington, Tennessee. Jeffery, who also went by Jeff, was a White male with hazel eyes and short gray or partially gray hair. Public missing-person records describe him as approximately 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall and weighing between 190 and 220 pounds. His last known contact was associated with his residence in the Arlington area, but the publicly available information does not explain what he was doing that day, who may have spoken with him last, or when concern first arose that something was wrong. What began as an ordinary day ultimately became the last confirmed point in Jeffery’s known movements, leaving his family and investigators without a clear account of what happened afterward.

The case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System as MP22980 and has remained publicly listed as a missing-person investigation. The limited circumstances released online describe Jeffery simply as missing, without identifying a destination, planned trip, medical emergency, disagreement, or other event that might explain why he disappeared. No clothing description or distinctive physical characteristic has been widely published beyond his general appearance. The absence of a detailed public timeline makes the case especially difficult to understand: there is a confirmed place and date, but very little information about the hours before Jeffery vanished or the decisions he may have made after he was last seen. Online listings continue to identify Arlington as the last known location and Fayette County as the jurisdiction connected with the investigation.

One of the most significant known developments came after Jeffery had already been missing for several months, when the white 2008 GMC Denali pickup associated with him was recovered in Memphis. The truck was described as a four-door vehicle with chrome, eight-spoke, 22-inch rims and Tennessee license plate 674-FQS. Its recovery provided investigators with a physical connection to Jeffery’s disappearance, but publicly available accounts do not explain how the vehicle reached Memphis, who may have driven it there, where specifically it was located, what condition it was in, or whether evidence recovered from it established Jeffery’s movements. Without those details, the vehicle remains an important but unresolved part of the story—a trace of Jeffery found away from his Arlington residence, yet not accompanied by the answers his loved ones needed.

Jeffery’s case is investigated by the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office, whose criminal-investigations personnel handle cases arising within the county. NamUs serves as the national repository for his missing-person record, allowing investigators, forensic specialists, and agencies to compare information with unidentified-person cases and other records from across the country. Public records associated with the case also indicate that family-reference DNA information has been made available for comparison through national forensic systems, an important investigative resource when years pass without a confirmed sighting. Even with those tools, no public source reviewed provides a verified explanation for Jeffery’s disappearance or reports that he has been located.

The years since September 2013 have deepened the uncertainty surrounding Jeffery’s absence. A person can be described through measurements, photographs, a vehicle, and a case number, but those details cannot convey the continuing loss experienced by the people who knew him. Each unanswered question carries emotional weight: whether Jeffery left willingly or unexpectedly, whether he intended to return, whether someone saw him after he left his residence, and whether an overlooked memory or record could still clarify his path. His disappearance remains a long-standing Fayette County missing-person case centered on a 52-year-old Arlington man who vanished from his known life, followed by the later recovery of his truck in Memphis, with no publicly documented account of where he went or what happened to him. In overview, the case is defined by a firm last-seen date, a recovered vehicle, sparse public circumstances, and an enduring absence of resolution.
