Where Is Kent Jacobs Now?
Kent Jacobs may have been the victim of a premeditated attack and robbery, according to authorities.

Since then, no arrests have been made, and Kent's body has not been found.
Authorities examined Gregory Jones' Hope Mills farm in 2010 after receiving information that Kent was buried in a refrigerator on his property.
Despite the fact that the search yielded no results, police were confident Kent was buried on the property. Unfortunately, without additional proof, they will be unable to continue their hunt.
Despite not informing other relevant authorities such as the EPA, the family received word from police in 2018 that they believed the lead to be properly checked out.
