Childress, described as an experienced hunter, was out in the rugged, treacherous terrain of the Tillamook forest on a hunting trip with his partner, Shane Luey. The two left for the trip on Oct. 15. Not long after, however, they lost track of their campsite. Luey told officials that the men spent two days searching for the spot where they had set up camp.

Luey and his 12-year-old son returned to their truck. But Childress was convinced that camp wasn’t far off. Leaving the two behind, he walked into the thick brush of the forest and disappeared. That was the last time anyone saw him.

The fully-loaded rifle, pocket knife, and pack of cigarettes he was carrying also vanished. His body still hasn’t been found. Whatever happened to him after he set off into the brush on Oct. 17, 2004, remains, to this day, a mystery.
 
This has a lot of detailed info about him and where he was last seen. It is rugged terrain so I can see how someone could get lost and never be found. However, it's strange his hunting partners left him out there and didn't report him missing for two days. They also never spoke to Jeromy's family again after that. Seems they would want to help find him. Hope his family can get closure soon.

I don't know if I can link a reddit post or put a SS in here, but a person posted they will be searching in that area at the end of May (2022)
