AZ AZ - Jesse Conger, 37, marine veteran, Scottsdale, 14 August 2019

Volunteers initially focused their search on the Utah-Arizona border, believing Jesse Conger might have driven back roads to Lee’s Ferry in connection with a trip he had been planning. Now, Patricia Conger believes he might be heading to Ogden, where he was raised, or Orem, where he lived until weeks before his disappearance.

Local police, state troopers and national and state park rangers in Utah and Arizona are watching for his car using license plate scanners on all major highways and freeways. However, he could be – and mostly likely is – using back roads because of his love of the countryside, according to his sister. He was last seen driving his silver 2015 Toyota Camry with Nevada plates.

Patricia Conger said every day she becomes “more and more confident in finding Jesse.”

“The caliber of people who have stepped up is extremely high; I am so grateful,” she said.

Still missing. Reminder that he left with only his firearm and left his service dog at home. Please let there be answers for so many people who are hurting. Never forget.

That is such worrisome information.

Since he was driving a 2015 vehicle wouldn't they be able to track him through his GPS or has he purposeful disconnected it perhaps. :(

GPS in a car is a receiver only. It does not transit the vehicle location back to the GPS satellites (unless there is an additional service, like GM's OnStar, associated with the GPS, that receives location information) .

Thank you. I was just hoping they would be able to locate him so much.

He gave so much of himself for country, and I know his fellow Marines are the only ones who could save him if they could only find him still alive.

To know the great despair he must feel, unfortunately ones had to have lived through it themselves. :(

Hopefully other states will follow:

A new alert system for missing veterans has been implemented in the state of Kentucky. In this year’s 2019 Regular Session, state leaders introduced and passed a bill for green alerts — a statewide alert system for missing veterans deemed to be at risk.

Green Alerts were signed into law under Senate Bill 55. After the bill passed 37-0 in the House and 100-0 in the Senate, Governor Matt Bevin signed the bill into law on March 22, 2019.

“Veterans at risk means a veteran or an active duty member of the Armed Forces, National Guard or a military reserve component of the United States who is known to have a physical or mental health condition,” the bill states. “[Mental health conditions] include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that is related to his or service.”

Owensboro Police Department Public Information Officer Andrew Boggess said the green alert differentiate from amber and golden alerts for obvious reasons — amber alerts represent minors who are missing and believed to be in danger of abduction, while golden alerts are used when someone who has a medical or cognitive disability goes missing, regardless of age — but also for deeper reasons that relate to the specifics in how emergency responders seek these individuals.

Veterans who are at risk often suffer from poor mental health, and finding those missing veterans requires an understanding of PTSD and other issues often suffered by veterans, such as alcohol and drug abuse.

Slightly OT but does anyone have personal experience regarding PTSD?

I have been googling it a lot lately but is it common for people suffering from PTSD to go under the radar... ? PTSD affects memory as well so is it common to have complete blackouts at times, too?

I’m praying for Jesse to be alive somewhere, possibly escaping from “a threat” that is very real for him due to his traumatic past experiences.
