Donald Ray Jones, age 25, went missing on January 1, 1986, from Fort Worth, Texas. His case remains unsolved and is classified as an endangered missing person. Donald was last seen in the Tarrant County area and left no significant clues regarding his disappearance. Standing at 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighing around 125 pounds, Donald was a Black man with brown hair and eyes, and he had a tattoo on his upper left arm.
Despite efforts to locate him, little progress has been made over the decades.
Jones also used the alias Donald Ray Hardy. He was reported missing under unusual circumstances, with few leads to follow, leaving both family and law enforcement searching for answers. Over the years, his case has received minimal public attention, and there is little information regarding the details of his disappearance, such as what he may have been doing or where he was headed on that day. The long-term nature of his case and the lack of updates make it one of many cold cases in the state.
Efforts to revive public interest in the case and solicit tips have been ongoing, but no significant breakthroughs have been reported. If anyone has information about his case, they are encouraged to contact the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Missing Persons Clearinghouse.Last Seen: Jan 1, 1986
