Jesse Farber: Ten Years Since His Disappearance and the Search for Answers

Unravel the chilling final phone call made by Jesse Farber just before he vanished ten years ago, where he claimed to be surrounded by coyotes in a tree. A decade later, his partner and a private investigator focus the search on treacherous, abandoned mine shafts where he may have fallen.

Short Summary

  • Locate Jesse Farber based on post-disappearance phone data, shifting the search focus to a new, highly dangerous mountain ridge.
  • Identify Jesse’s last known activities involving financial disputes and brief methamphetamine use the days before he vanished in 2015.
  • Recognize that after 10 years, the primary theory centers on an accidental fall into an unmarked mine shaft while panicked and running in the dark.
  • Preserve Jesse's memory by continuing monthly ground searches while fundraising for professional technical excavation equipment.

This segment reviews the 10-year anniversary of Jesse Farber’s disappearance in Pennsylvania. Host Mie Hughes interviews his partner, Rachel Carroll, who recounts the frantic final call demanding "guns" due to a coyote threat. The mystery deepens with conflicting location reports and the discovery that his private investigator found evidence pointing away from the area searched for eight years, toward dangerous terrain containing open mine shafts.

Description

This week on “Missing,” Jesse Farber vanished 10 years ago this week, after a panicked phone call with his best friend and partner, Rachel Carroll. Farber said he was in danger, surrounded by coyotes and needed help. That was the last time Carroll heard from him. In the years since, she has hired a private investigator to search two wooded areas where she believes Jesse may have been the night he called. She’s now raising the two kids she shares with Farber on her own, celebrating birthdays and other family occasions, hoping to keep his memory alive as she continues to look for him. #missingperson #JesseFarber #truecrimecommunity Host: Marni Hughes Executive Producer: Paige Lobdell, Karen Henderson Segment Producer: Taylor Blackburn Editor: Rob Alvarez NewsNation is your source for fact-based, unbiased news for all Americans.

Hi Rachel, I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I can't imagine dealing with this, and not having answers ten years on. I don't have anything useful to contribute, but I just wanted to wish you well from Ireland. Your persistence and strength are admirable. I have no doubt Jesse and your children are very proud of you. 💜
