UPDATE: On March 29th, hikers discovered Jeffrey Howard’s car covered with brush, nose down, about 800 feet below Kanan-Dume Road. Jeff was still inside. Although there were numerous searches of this area, the car was very well hidden & it is very likely that Jeff had been there since he went missing in 2006. Our prayers are with the Howard family.

Jeff Howard woke up about 2:30am, Thursday, December 21, 2006 complaining of a severe headache. He left the bedroom presumably to get some medicine, but when his wife woke up around 5:00am, he was gone. According to his wife, he seemed disoriented in previous days, forgetting how to get to familiar places. He had been under stress with a new baby, school exams, and job interviews.  Also missing is Jeff's 2003 burgundy Hyundai Elantra 4-door sedan (California 5KRP048).
