Jimmie Brice Box Jr was 26 when he was last seen around 11 p.m. on August 1, 2020, at a gas station in DeRidder, Louisiana. His family reported him missing the next day. His maroon Toyota 4Runner was later seen in the Gillis area being driven by Zachary Sylvest, who was arrested after methamphetamine and heroin were found in the vehicle.

Search warrants at two homes, including one shared by James Derek Person II and Hayley Limes, recovered Box’s subwoofer, swords, firearms, ammunition, a DVR system, and parts of a disassembled nine-millimeter semi-automatic handgun. On August 17, 2020, Box’s body was found at an oil site in Bon Wier, Texas, lying face down with his hands bound behind his back with a black cord; a shell casing and bullet fragments were found under his body and surveillance footage showed him wearing the same shoes he had on when last seen.

James Derek Person II was convicted of first-degree murder, criminal conspiracy, and obstruction of justice in connection with Box’s death. The motive and the exact cause of death have not been publicly disclosed. If anyone knew Box’s movements in early August 2020 or observed his 4Runner in Gillis, please share what you know.
