On March 14, 2020, Jeremy M. Conklin, a 30-year-old male, was last seen in Independence, Missouri. Public missing-person records describe Jeremy as a white man with brown hair and blue eyes, standing 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighing about 130 pounds. The identifying detail repeatedly listed in official and case-summary sources is a tattoo of a mushroom on his right shoulder, a distinctive mark that could help someone recognize him if they had seen him after he disappeared.
From that last known contact in Independence, the publicly available record becomes painfully sparse: Jeremy was reported missing, classified as a missing adult, and has not been heard from again according to the available case information.
The most difficult part of Jeremy’s case is how little has been publicly released about the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. The Charley Project states that he was last seen in Independence on March 14, 2020, that he has never been heard from again, and that few details are available in his case. The Missouri State Highway Patrol missing-person bulletin likewise provides identifying information, the date of last contact, the city from which he was missing, and the investigating agency, but it does not describe where in Independence he was last seen, who last had contact with him, what he may have been wearing, whether he was traveling, or whether there were known concerns immediately before he vanished. That absence of detail leaves the public record focused almost entirely on who Jeremy is, when he was last known to be seen, and which agency should receive information.
Jeremy’s case remains listed among Missouri’s active missing-person records. The Missouri State Highway Patrol’s active missing-person search results include “CONKLIN, JEREMY M” as a male white adult missing since 03/14/2020, age 30, with the Independence Police Department listed as the investigating agency and Independence, Missouri listed as the missing-from location. The active listing is accompanied by a general disclaimer explaining that the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s missing-person webpage draws its information from the National Crime Information Center through the investigating agency and is updated automatically, with further information directed to the investigating agency.
The public appeal in Jeremy’s case is direct and simple: anyone with information about Jeremy Conklin’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Independence Police Department at 816-325-7300. The Missouri State Highway Patrol Missing Persons Clearinghouse is also listed on the public bulletin, with a phone number of 573-526-6178 and an email address of. In overview, Jeremy M. Conklin was a 30-year-old man last seen in Independence, Missouri on March 14, 2020; he is described as a white male with brown hair, blue eyes, a slim build, and a mushroom tattoo on his right shoulder; his disappearance has very few publicly known details; and the case remains centered on the hope that someone, somewhere, may remember something that helps explain what happened to him and brings answers to those who care about him.Last Seen: Mar 14, 2020
