Search Continues Near Parker for Missing 41-Year-Old Jeremy Whisennand

Jeremy Whisennand, 41, was last seen around 10:30 p.m. on Feb. 10 in Blythe, California, after buying a white 2008 Ford F-250 and heading toward work near the Grand Canyon, family and the Missing in America Network say. Riverside County Sheriff’s Station reiterated that last-seen time in a Feb. 21 social post, and advocates and family members are asking anyone with information to come forward.

The Missing in America Network posted that “He never arrived and has not been heard from since. His phone is off, and this is completely out of character. Jeremy is a devoted father who maintains regular contact with his children.” His sister Marci Devorkin wrote on Facebook, “We're all really worried about him. Any info would be very much appreciated.” Family members say his employer began a welfare check after he did not show for work on Feb. 12, and the family was notified of his disappearance on Feb. 16.

Multiple advocacy posts and news reports say the white 2008 Ford F-250 was located near the Agnes Wilson Road Bridge on the Colorado River between Blythe and Parker in La Paz County, but KPNX 12News reported that officials could not confirm the vehicle recovery. Law enforcement confirmation of the truck’s location, the agency that recovered it, and any inventory of items found inside remains pending.

Whisennand is described as 5 feet 10 inches tall and about 175 pounds with brown hair and hazel eyes. The Riverside County Sheriff's description notes a guitar tattoo on his left forearm and the number 88 tattooed on his left shoulder. Clothing reports vary; Missing in America Network listed a baseball cap, t-shirt, jeans and work boots or black DC tennis shoes and said he may have been wearing a pullover hoodie with the words YOU ARE ENOUGH on the front.

Investigators and family are asking residents and businesses along the likely route to check video from Feb. 10 and Feb. 11. Mohavedailynews outlined the probable path as Highway 95 to Needles, then I-40 at Kingman or Parker toward Lake Havasu and Williams, Arizona. Missing in America Network specifically requested sightings of Whisennand or his truck, and asked anyone who noticed suspicious activity near the Agnes Wilson Road Bridge area to contact authorities and provide home or business camera footage from those dates.

Anyone with information, images, or video is asked to contact the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office tip line at 800-950-2444 or the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department number reported by Mohavedailynews at 760-863-8990. A fragmentary family notice says volunteers are urgently needed to distribute flyers, but details on flyer locations were not included in the materials released so far.

Local and interagency investigators have begun tracing camera logs and will seek confirmation from La Paz County or Parker-area authorities about the bridge area recovery. Officials have not released a case number publicly; further statements and law-enforcement confirmation are expected as the investigation continues.
