On September 23, 2024, at approximately 8:00 PM, the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office was alerted by the Tucson Police Department about a missing juvenile, identified as Jordan. The situation escalated when authorities received concerning information indicating that Jordan had expressed intentions to harm himself.
Earlier that day, Jordan had been given a ride to Parker Canyon Lake, where he later left a troubling message for his family. This prompted immediate action from law enforcement. Cochise County Deputies and Search and Rescue teams quickly mobilized to the area to begin their search for the young man. Recognizing the gravity of the situation, additional resources were requested from the Pima County Sheriff’s Office, including air support and the mobilization of the Cochise County Search and Rescue Dive Team, to conduct a more thorough search as daylight broke on September 24, 2024.
As dawn arrived, hope lingered in the hearts of Jordan’s family and friends. However, the search took a tragic turn. At approximately 12:00 PM on September 24, dive team members located Jordan in the water off a pier at Parker Canyon Lake. Despite the swift response of emergency personnel, he was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Jordan’s family and friends are now left to grapple with an unimaginable loss, and the community is coming together to support them in their time of grief. Local authorities encourage anyone who may be struggling with similar feelings to seek help and reach out to trusted individuals or mental health professionals. Resources are available to provide support and guidance during difficult times, emphasizing that no one is alone in their battles.
