Hey everyone, I've been following John Myron Reed Jr.'s case for a while now, and something that's always puzzled me is the timing and nature of the phone call he received on the day he disappeared. Has anyone heard any details about what might have been said in that call? It seems strange that he would just leave his family like that, especially with them helping him set up his entertainment system. It makes me wonder if someone he knew and trusted called him, or if it was more of a threat that compelled him to leave so suddenly. The detail about his roommate alerting the family after the van was found also raises eyebrows. Was this roommate aware of the potential risks John was facing, or could he have been involved somehow? The fact that he got arrested on other charges doesn't necessarily point directly to him, but it makes me think there's more beneath the surface here. Curious to hear your thoughts on the phone call aspect!
Hey everyone, I was reading more about John Myron Reed Jr.'s case, and something really caught my attention—the abandoned van. When police found it near that apartment complex in Newark, Ohio, they discovered John's white sweater inside. Doesn't it seem odd that his sweater was left behind, but there were no other major clues found inside or around the van? It makes me wonder if he was in a hurry to leave it there or if something happened to him shortly after he left his apartment. I’m curious how thoroughly the van's surroundings were searched or if any surveillance from nearby buildings was checked out. Newark’s community must have some folks who remember that day. Anyone else looking into this angle or heard locals talk about any sightings or strange activity around that time? It seems like a potential lead that might’ve been overlooked. Hope we can bring some attention to this detail and possibly hear back from someone who knows more!
I’ve been following John Myron Reed Jr.’s case for a while, and something has always stood out to me about the fact that his van was discovered abandoned just a few days after he vanished. Newark, Ohio isn't too far from Zanesville, so the location seems significant somehow. Given that his white sweater was found inside, I wonder if he intended to come back or if he was taken by surprise. Does anyone know more about that apartment complex where his van was found? I suspect it might be connected to his drug dealings, but I haven’t seen any solid information about whether that area had known activity in the late 90s. It’s also puzzling that his roommate told the family to report him missing—was this before or after the arrest on unrelated charges? This detail just makes me more suspicious that someone knew more than they were letting on. What do you all think about the possibility of his roommate being involved, whether directly or indirectly?
