The Missing FoundAn investigative true crime podcast focusing on the unsolved and cold missing person cases in the Black community. Author: The Missing Found
The Missing Found is an investigative true crime podcast that focuses on missing person cases in the Black community that are left unsolved and cold.Statistically, African Americans receive far less media coverage than our White counterparts. According to The Black and Missing Foundation, in 2021, African Americans make up only 13% of the United States population, but our missing person percentage sits at 37%. Its impossible to report on every case of a missing person in the country, but the divide between us and other races are severely disproportionate when it comes to media coverage.To challenge this, we started The Missing Found podcast to bring light to cases deemed unsolved and cold to offer a renewed perspective with only the hard facts, breakdown every case detail, and the possibilities thereafter.We thank you for your viewership. We look forward to conducting comprehensive analyses into the unsolved missing person cases of those who look like us.

Case Episode 32 | The Disappearance of Lester "LJ" Jones | The Last Call, the Last Stop, and the Lost Opportunity
Sunday, 16 November, 2025
On the cold evening of Monday, January 11, 2010, in Starkville, Mississippi, 26 year old Lester “LJ” Jones, Jr. had set plans to visit his fraternity brothers in Jackson, Mississippi for a regular meet up.It was supposed to be a typical drive for Lester from Starkville to Jackson. He even stopped passed his mother’s home in Tupelo to visit his brother before his trip to Jackson.LJ had it all planned out, but something happened somewhere in between. We do know what was supposed to be a quick stop at a local Exxon (now Shell) gas station at the Sprint Mart in Flowood, only 15 minutes away from Jackson, turned to be the last known location of LJ on record. There is footage of him there, but somehow things go dark.Until, there was an odd discovery, a cell phone found in the men’s restroom. It was an oddity because the phone belonged to LJ, but he had already left the gas station and assumingly en route up the road to Jackson.After 15 years of questions, mystery, calls, and theories, it makes you question if someone had a hand in this, LJ decided to leave on his own volition, or something else like an accident. Since 2010, there has been no trace left of LJ or his 2002 Ford Expedition — both just vanished.I N F O R M A T I O NStarkville Police Department: 662–323–4134C O N T A C TWEBSITE: www.themissingfound.comEMAIL: info@themissingfound.com✉ PARTNERSHIP INQUIRES: partnership@themissingfound.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-missing-found/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
