Jacob Furrer Missing Person Case

Jacob Bernard Furrer, 27, was last seen on April 30, 2016, in Calexico, California. A former combat engineer with the Army National Guard, Jacob had been at a Denny's restaurant with his mother that day. Surveillance footage captured him leaving the restroom after his mother had departed. The next morning, Jacob sent her a birthday message at 6:43 a.m., but this would be the last time anyone heard from him. His phone was turned off afterward, and he never used his Facebook account again.

Jacob had been struggling with depression and anxiety following the death of a close friend in September 2015. By the end of that year, he had quit his jobs and given away most of his belongings. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a plaid shirt, jeans, and a camouflage-print baseball cap. He also had a tattoo on his left bicep of the Chinese symbol for "dragon" and a two-inch scar on his knee. Investigators consider the possibility that Jacob crossed into Mexico, as Calexico is near the border, or that he may have gone to Yuma, Arizona. His case remains unsolved, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact the El Centro Police Department.
