On November 9th Jon Barrett's niece called the police after Jon wasn't picking up his phone. Gordon Barrett, Jon's Brother: "They found the front door was open, the lights were on, the TV was on, and his dogs were in the house by themselves."

Jon hardly did anything without his dogs, causing concern. But that wasn't the only thing that was suspicious about his disappearance. Gordon Barrett: "They reported that the police cruiser went by about 8 o'clock Sunday night and noted that the van was not at home. The next morning the cruiser went by and the van was at the house parked in a very strange location for Jon."

Jon's family said when they initially found out about the situation, they thought because Jon was a pre-diabetic, that he had an episode causing his behavior to be unpredictable, which Jon is not known for being. Gordon Barrett: "The sad part for us as a family is that a lot of the rumors don't help. There is all sorts of speculation of foul play, there is speculation of all sorts of different things and we don't know any of that."

Gordon Barrett: "I'm feeling a little bit overwhelmed. People have been wonderful in Pocatello. It amazes me how many people knew my brother and how many people loved my brother."
