"Bart [friend] last saw him in the parking lot of the Briar Patch, talking on his phone around 11:45pm and when he turned around he was gone.

"Our last known communication with him was a text to me at 12:39am Sunday morning. Bart was actively looking for him from the moment he disappeared.

"The police in Lewisburg have all the texts and information we have on our end to help them in the search.

"Bart drove to Lewisburg and picked Jarred up in Charleston at his work on Friday. Jarred left his truck at work and we confirmed yesterday afternoon that it is still there.

"The police in Lewisburg have pinged his phone, but it’s a 3-4mile radius on the ping. This area has been searched, but there are also locations in this radius that are dangerous and can’t be searched safely by foot.

"Jarred's phone has been dead since about 9am yesterday morning and there's been no activity on his bank account.”

Schultz's wife has now been inundated with messages following the tragic news.

RIP.
