A Quiet Morning in Baton Rouge

On the morning of October 23, 1991, William Todd Jarreau, a 26-year-old construction worker, left his home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, telling his wife of less than a year that he was going to the store. He departed with only a few dollars in his pocket, dressed in a blue shirt, cut-off blue jeans, and white sneakers. This seemingly routine errand marked the last time anyone saw or heard from him. 

Discovery of the Abandoned Vehicle

Shortly after his disappearance, Jarreau's truck was found abandoned in the parking lot of a Waffle House restaurant in Baton Rouge. There were no signs of a struggle or any indication of his whereabouts. The vehicle's location provided no substantial leads, leaving investigators and family members puzzled. 

Physical Characteristics and Medical History

Jarreau was described as a white male, standing 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing approximately 130 pounds. He had brown hair and brown eyes. Notably, he bore several scars: one on his left arm, multiple on the left side of his head, and a scar on his neck. These were the result of a previous shotgun wound to the left side of his face, which had caused skeletal trauma to his maxillary, nasal, and superior left humerus areas. He also had a tracheostomy scar on his neck. 
