Summary
This episode first aired on November 7, 2022. Last week, we shared the first part of Jarrod Green’s story. In September 1994, 20-year-old Jarrod disappeared from Searcy, Arkansas. In the days leading up to his disappearance, he seemed increasingly anxious and worried about his safety. During a call with his girlfriend, he was emotional but wouldn’t say what was wrong. Around the same time, he retrieved a gun from a friend, telling them he needed it for protection. Jarrod told his family he had plans to meet someone that night, but he never returned home. His car was found days later in a store parking lot in Searcy.
In this episode, we will explore the people in Jarrod’s circle before he went missing and the possible roles they may have played in his disappearance.

| 0:00.0 | CERCY at the time, there was some officials that really wasn't up to par. |
| 0:14.5 | So there wasn't quite really an investigation on it. |
| 0:18.0 | He just kind of, well, yep, we know this and we're working on it, but just kind of, yep, we know this, and we're working on it, |
| 0:22.8 | but truth be told, nothing was really being done about it. |
| 0:27.4 | My theory is that these kids, you know, |
| 0:29.6 | because they were kids, they had somebody who helped them, |
| 0:32.5 | may have helped them dispose of Jared, |
| 0:34.2 | and that's the part that actually, you know, really is the most terrifying, |
| 0:37.8 | because what if it was somebody who actually knew what they were doing? I mean, it's hard |
| 0:41.5 | enough to find someone if they're just buried in random plot of land somewhere, because you've got |
| 0:48.1 | to know where to look. All these people that didn't do their job deliberately, in my opinion, |
| 0:56.7 | that swept stuff under the carpet. |
| 1:02.5 | They don't matter. They're going to get what they have coming to them, but it still comes back to Jared with a 20-year-old kid who was murdered. He was lured back to town, someone intended to harm him. |
| 1:12.6 | Even if they didn't intend to kill him, they intended to punish him, make an example out of him. |
| 1:18.8 | And they did, and they've gotten away with it for 28 years. |
| 1:23.5 | That's what's sickening. |
| 1:25.2 | And people know the answer. |
| 1:27.9 | And I still believe there are enough people who are good, |
| 1:31.8 | who don't want to let these people win. |
| 1:36.1 | And that's what they do. |
| 1:37.0 | Their silence allows them to continue to win and be comfortable. |
| 1:41.3 | And I don't want them to be comfortable anymore. |
