Ole Miss student, Jimmie "Jay" Lee, has been missing for more than 11 days after
his family reported him missing.



“Jimmie Lee (20), who also goes by Jay Lee, was last seen leaving Campus Walk
Apartments in Oxford in a 2014 black Ford Fusion with a Mississippi license
plate number ‘JAYLEE1’,” according to a press release from the University of
Mississippi.

According to the university press release, police said Lee's vehicle was found
Friday afternoon at Molly Barr Trails apartment complex.

“Lee was also last seen wearing a silver robe or housecoat, gold sleeping cap
and gray slippers," the press release states. "Lee is 5’7” 120 lbs. He has black
and blonde hair with brown eyes. Crime Stoppers is offering a $1,000 reward for
anyone with information that leads to Lee’s whereabouts. If you have any

“We literally went on a full-on walk through the woods yelling, screaming his
name,” Tayla Carey, Lee's sister told Mississippi Today. “We ask that everyone
assisting with helping us find my brother remains positive as the investigation
continues." 

Carey said Lee is much like everyone else in the world especially when it comes
to his morning routine.



“He is an avid coffee drinker, he always has to have his cup in the morning,”
she said.
