Jaymez Perry's last known in-person sighting was at the home of a relative in Los Angeles, California on Dec. 29, 2017. At that time Mr. Perry stated he intended to visit another relative in Santa Rosa, CA and then return by car to his home in Orlando, Florida. He apparently did not go to Santa Rosa as he indicated. His vehicle was first observed abandoned and stuck on a jeep trail in a remote part of Florida's Ocala National Forest just west of Lake Delancy at Google coordinates 29. 414058, -81. 800311 approximately January 10, 2018, and was towed away on February 10th. There were indications Mr. Perry had been living in his vehicle prior to his disappearance. Law enforcement searched the same area for a different missing person later that year, however, Mr. Perry's disappearance was not reported to law enforcement until August 13, 2020.
