A Meigs County, Ohio, family is mourning the loss of 20-year-old Ethan Vernon after he vanished in Dec. 2025. A body was found in Vernon’s burned truck the next day, and in early March, the remains were identified as his. Since then, there have been few updates about the case.
According to local reports and official statements, family members reported that Vernon, a mechanic, left to visit “someone” on or around Dec. 11, 2025, and never returned home. When he did not come back that night, his family checked hospitals and contacted the police the next day.
