Additional Information :

On the evening of October 30, 1998, Jake attended a house party with some friends.  He and a friend left the party at about midnight.

On the way home, Jake decided to take a trail through the woods.  His friend continued along the street and the two were to meet up at the point where the trail exited to the street.

Although a marsh and quicksand were near the wooded trail, searchers could find no physical evidence to suggest that Jake, or anyone, had traveled near these areas in the days prior to Jake’s disappearance.  Despite an eight day search, no physical evidence linking back to Jake was found.

When Jake entered the wooded area, he was carrying a knapsack.  It has not been recovered.
