Full Video Episode: Coming soon
On January 12, 2018, 19-year-old Jared Chavis got into a black Ford Fusion in Houston, Texas—and was never seen again. Seven years later, his father, Willie Smith, is still searching for answers.
In this raw and unfiltered conversation, Jacob sits down with Mr. Smith to revisit the night Jared vanished, the botched investigation, the heartbreak of unanswered questions, and the love of a father who refuses to give up.
Together they discuss:
The events surrounding Jared’s disappearance
The silence and negligence of law enforcement
The emotional toll on Jared’s son and sister
What it means to seek justice in a system designed to forget
A direct call to those who were there that night
This episode is more than a podcast. It’s a plea. A demand. A sacred record.
And we won’t stop until justice speaks.
