His car was located on 69 Highway near 247th St. in Miami County, but he has not been found. In a Facebook post, the Miami County Sheriff's Office asked that anybody in that area on Monday between 11 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. review dash camera footage and call police with any information relevant to the missing person case. Reports can be called into Olathe PD at 913-971-6363. Family members ask that people in the area also check their home security camera footage as well. JoCo fire captain dies while fighting fire Saturday afternoon 'It would be Jordan on foot, is what we're looking for. We know his car was left running on the side of the highway. It was northbound on 69, around 247th Street. So we would be just trying to find any indication of where he might be going, timestamps of where he has been. Then that will help us narrow down the search,' said Yust's brother-in-law, Jeff Maxwell. Family members tell FOX4 the search is mainly focused in northern Miami County and Southern Johnson County. People in the search area asked to check land, buildings, and security footage. 'Check trail cams, check ring doorbells, dash cams, anything that might give us an indication of where Jordan was at, any indication of where he might be, so that we'll have better ability to search and find him,' said Yust's brother-in-law Jeff Maxwell. Olathe Police sent out the endangered missing adult alert on Tuesday. Yust was listed as endangered due to statements of self-harm. Police have no reason to believe Jordan is a danger to the community. 'He's an amazing friend, amazing brother-in-law, amazing husband. He's got three kids,' Maxwell explained. 'We just want him home. So he's got a lot of people who love him and care about him.' The Miami County Sheriff's Office is assisting Olathe PD in the search for Jordan, along with several other law enforcement agencies, including the Bates County Sheriff's Office, who responded with their mounted patrol, UTV/ATV, and drone units. Family members are trying to get the word out to as many people as possible as they continue to search for their loved one. 'Jordan, if you're seeing this, we love you. We want you to come back. Your kids are missing you. Please come back,' Maxwell said. A GoFundMe has been set up to help Jordan's wife and children. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
