A MUST-HAVE Safety Tool for ALL Drivers.

Matthews, who suffers from mild Alzheimer’s and bipolar disorder, was last seen driving his red 1989 Mazda pickup truck. Despite extensive search efforts, when Matthews and his vehicle went missing, there has been no sighting in nearly 18 years.

Balding with hazel eyes, Juil stood between 6’ and 6’2’’ tall and weighed approximately 180 pounds at the time of his disappearance. He lived alone on Evans Road in Franklin County, Mississippi, after separating from his wife, who resided in Adams County. On the day of his disappearance, Matthews was believed to be traveling to visit his wife, a routine journey of about 42 miles.

Family members and law enforcement quickly initiated a search, covering the area by ground and air. Due to Matthews’ medical conditions, there was concern that he might have become disoriented and had an accident. Authorities speculated that Matthews could have driven into one of the lakes or ponds along his route. However, extensive searches of these bodies of water yielded no results.

In a renewed effort to locate Matthews, Adventures With Purpose, is utilizing advanced sonar technology to thoroughly examine various bodies of water near Matthews’ and his wife’s residences.

“We are committed to leaving no stone unturned in our search for Juil Matthews,” said Jared Leisek - AWP Founder. “This advanced technology allows us to re-examine locations with a precision that was not possible during earlier searches. Our goal is to bring answers to the Matthews family, who have been waiting for answers for far too long.”

This video documents the search efforts of AWP and to rejuvenate awareness about Juil Matthews disappearance.

The search effort is ongoing, and the community is encouraged to remain vigilant and report any information that may aid in locating Juil Matthews and his vehicle.

Despite the time that has passed, the search teams remain dedicated to resolving this case.

Anyone with information is urged to contact local authorities or the search team directly. Any tip, no matter how small, could be crucial in helping bring Juil Matthews home.

Jared, when you mentioned the pond that was fully fenced, I thought, "Yes, it's fenced NOW, but was it fenced in 2006?" It's entirely possible that the pond didn't even exist in 2006. Keep up the wonderful work you're doing, take care. :)

Hi from Ireland, thank you AWP for all that you do for the families of missing loved ones 🫶

[thaliazelmer]

Good to see you Jared, looking well. You seem relaxed yet focused.

A newspaper article on November 8, 2006 in the Enterprise -Journal, in McComb, Mississippi, says that a friend told Juil's wife that he was going to Oak Grove, LA after the auction to buy sweet potatoes. I have clipping of article if needed.

He went missing on my birthday. Those cases always hit me hard when I hear about them -- like, I'm over here celebrating and they're going through whatever events brought them to this. Really hits home that people I don't and will never know are going through their own stuff.

You guys are a definite power house for families missing loved ones. I saw you guys when you were on the utah case. Amazing and wonderful humans. I am happy to support every one of you.

[matthewallen]

I told you about this case a couple years ago. Glad y’all came to search! Need to find out where they have auctions around there and he could be between there and his house!

[jordanbuskohlonyt]

Your cases are always so powerful finding those people who were gone from family and nobody could find them until you guys could. Absolute Lifesavers!

[nataliep]

Your cases are always so well shot & documented. No other group has the same quality. I enjoy watching them. Good job bringing closure to so many families.

[DramaMustRemainOnTheStage]

I have a feeling this case won't be given up on too soon. ❤ As a great friend of mine wrote in her article "You cant push the river" i pray his family finds comfort in knowing where Mr. Juil Matthews isn't. Crazy it felt "so close" on this one.❤️

Im from NC, it feels good to see sincere help for missing people? You and your team are amazing 🤩😊

[catserver]

I could watch you guys searching all the live long day, even if nothing is found. I get the idea that "we know where they are not", it's almost as satisfying. Peace to this family, how sad to go this long not knowing.
