Jones was last seen in Chattanooga, Tennessee on June 27, 2005. His estranged wife and sister reported him missing about two weeks later. His live-in girlfriend had been out of town at the time of his disappearance and when she came home, she found their front door wide open and all of Jones's belongings still inside the residence. He has never been heard from again. Although he and his wife were separated, they stayed in touch. They have a child together and Jones was active in the child's life.

Jones has numerous outstanding arrest warrants. It's uncharacteristic of him to leave without warning, however. Foul play is suspected in his disappearance, which remains unsolved.
