Has Jarrod Johnston Been Found?

Sadly Jarrod Johnstot is not yet been found.

Throughout Jarrod’s investigation, there would be several different investigators put on and removed from the case. One of the detectives was Det. Dennis Moulder. He told Jarrod’s parents that there wasn’t much they could do because there was no sign of foul play, and because Jarrod was 18.

Steve and Lisa were pissed, and so they decided to do their own investigation. They made missing persons flyers, and put out information on missing persons sites.

In February 2008, Jarrod’s parents received emails from someone saying if you don’t do what we say, or give us $50,000, we’ll kill your son. They contacted a local FBI agency, and the agency did some digging. The emails turned out to be a hoax, and were coming from overseas. The Johnston’s were heartbroken once again, and had to go back to square one.
