Missing in Houston: Questions remain in disappearance of Air Force vet Jared Chavis

This week’s Insider Deals are so good you’ll want all of themThe 19-year-old was last seen in the 9000 block of Westheimer in Houston, entering the back seat of a black Ford Fusion. Witnesses reported an argument ensued, followed by gunshots, but Jared never emerged from the vehicle. His abandoned car was discovered at an apartment complex nearby, leaving questions unanswered.Trying to piece together Jared’s disappearance was frustrating for his father, Willie Smith.

Two weeks later, Jared’s credit card was used at a store. Willie attempted to obtain surveillance footage but was unsuccessful. By the time police attempted to get the footage a month later, it had already been erased.Willie said the way HPD handled Jared’s case was mindboggling. Originally from Louisiana, Jared had recently relocated to Houston to live with a cousin, pursuing a career in satellite dish installation while studying information technology online.“It’s been very tough. My daughter was 13 when he went missing and it’s affecting her, me, all of us. It’s not an easy situation. I remember being in Houston the first week it happened and it being cold as we looked through trashcans.

“We talk a lot to him on Facetime. He called us the other day and told us he was sad. We were like ‘why are you sad?’ and he said ‘I want to meet my dad, I never got to meet my daddy.’ When he’s saying that to me as a grandfather, I still don’t have the answers for him. And that’s what I’m looking for, answers,” Willie shared. “I still don’t have the answers to what really happened to Jared. I know he’s not with us anymore. But just to be able to tell him what happened to his dad.
