Jake Allen Lachele was a 22-year-old from Brussels, Louisiana. He was a father who loved fishing.

On August 27, 2014, Jake had dinner with his grandmother and brother. After this,

there are no substantiated sightings of Jake, but his truck was found on a bridge overlooking

the Mississippi River in the early hours of August 29. Over 24 hours later, he was never

seen again. I'm a dancer, and this is unfound.

In my writings and on the live show, I've spoken of how disappearances are minimum information

problems, much like poker. In that game, a player must make decisions despite not knowing what

the other players cards are, and whether they're going to bet, fold, or raise. Meaning,

much of the data that is needed to win is unknown. I think you can see the similarities.

Often, we don't even know if the person is deceased or not. We don't know if the person ran away

on her own or was forced. We suspect something of a foul play nature happened, but sometimes

there's no proof of that. So we must put the limited amount of information we have together

to come to the best conclusion, even though we may very well be wrong. Why? Because there could be

information we just don't know until the case is solved. This is in contrast to murder mysteries,

where we 100% know crimes have been committed. And these play out much more like chess,

where all the information is known. And it's a battle of wits between competitors, the good guys,

versus the bad guys. Well, with Jake Latchelay, we have a disappearance. There is absolutely no doubt

about that. Yet the known information is contradictory, incomplete, and even some of it

possibly fabricated. And we're left to decide what conclusion we can reach with

the public's evidence. And now a summary of the case, this is brought to you by my friend

Megan Good's website, Charlieproject.org. Jake Latchelay was the second of two brothers.

He also had a younger sister. Jake was the more laid back child of the three,
