There were reports of sightings in Winslow and a local ranch, but he has not been located. Last seen wearing a black shirt with "America", blue jeans, cowboy boots, and ball cap.

In January, warrants were served in an effort to find digital evidence that may help the investigation, but no arrests were made.

“During the past 366 days, our detectives have received countless tips, information, and possible sightings of Jarrett. Every one of those tips and leads has been followed up on, with no successful results in determining what happened to Jarrett,” officials said in a social media post Thursday.

The sheriff’s office reminds the public that the investigation is ongoing and says they are working in cooperation with the Brooks family.

"Jarrett is a son, brother, grandson, nephew, and friend," Navajo County Sheriff's officials said. "He is missed by family, friends, and his community."
