Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP110101)
On August 2, 2023, 31-year-old Jeremiah David Wright vanished from Knoxville, Tennessee, leaving his loved ones in a state of deep concern. Jeremiah, a male of mixed Black and Caucasian heritage with black hair and brown eyes, stands at five feet six inches tall and weighs approximately 190 pounds. He is distinguished by numerous tattoos covering his body, with the exception of his face.
The circumstances leading to his disappearance began after he was transported by a family member from the Rutherford County Jail to a rehabilitation facility known as The Lazarus Project. This transitional step was intended to be a positive move towards a new chapter in his life.
The last known communication from Jeremiah occurred on the same day he was last seen. He made a phone call to a family member from a hotel, the Econo Lodge, where he was not a registered guest, to inform them that he had left The Lazarus Project. It is believed that Jeremiah did not have a cell phone of his own at the time. Since that brief and worrying phone call, there have been no confirmed sightings or any significant leads that could point to his whereabouts. His sudden silence and the lack of any trace have been profoundly distressing for his family, who are left to grapple with countless unanswered questions.
The Knox County Sheriff's Office is handling the investigation into Jeremiah's disappearance and has entered his case into national missing persons databases. Law enforcement has encouraged anyone with information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to come forward to assist in their efforts. The case of Jeremiah Wright is an active and ongoing investigation, a painful puzzle with a missing piece that his family desperately hopes will be found. The lack of information and the unknown nature of his departure from the rehabilitation facility create a complex and heartbreaking situation for all who know and care for him.Last Seen: Aug 2, 2023
