Jackson, Kentucky – The search for 10-year-old Jayden Spicer, missing since the overnight hours of Tuesday, August 5, has intensified as both community members and search teams work tirelessly to locate the child. Among those now involved in the urgent search are Sheila and Fred of Hatfield McCoy Museum Adventures—the same couple who previously made headlines when they discovered the body of Joseph Couch in a separate case.
Sheila and Fred have brought their determination and unique skill set to the effort, navigating what they describe as steep, mountainous terrain with no cell service. Their familiarity with remote landscapes and experience in challenging conditions has made them valuable assets to the ongoing search.
Fred, a former law enforcement officer, has been using his investigative instincts and search-and-rescue awareness to help coordinate ground efforts, while Sheila has been documenting the process and rallying public attention. “We’re going to do everything we can to bring Jayden home,” they shared, emphasizing their commitment despite the difficult conditions.
The case took a disturbing turn when local residents claimed that authorities discovered a buried firearm near the home from which Jayden vanished. While officials have not confirmed whether this weapon is directly linked to Jayden’s disappearance, the revelation has heightened urgency and speculation within the community.
Jayden’s mother, Felicia Spicer, who is also known by the name Felicia Gross, has a prior criminal charge related to child endangerment, raising further questions about the circumstances leading up to her son’s disappearance. Law enforcement has not publicly identified her as a suspect, but the detail has fueled public concern and calls for transparency in the investigation.
Search teams, including volunteers, law enforcement, and specialized units, have been combing through dense forest, rugged hillsides, and remote creek beds. The lack of cell service has complicated communication between teams, forcing searchers to rely on radios and pre-arranged meeting points.
Community members have been urged to remain vigilant and report any sightings or information that could help locate Jayden. Flyers bearing his photo have been distributed across Breathitt County and surrounding areas, while social media is being used to share updates in real time.
The case has drawn significant attention not only because of Jayden’s age and the mystery surrounding his disappearance but also because of the involvement of Sheila and Fred—whose prior discovery of Joseph Couch’s remains demonstrated both their tenacity and their ability to navigate dangerous, hard-to-reach environments.
As the search enters another day, hope remains that Jayden will be found safe. Authorities have not released details about potential leads, but the discovery of the buried firearm has become a focal point for investigators.
Anyone with information about Jayden Spicer’s whereabouts is urged to contact local law enforcement immediately. Even the smallest detail, search organizers say, could be the key to bringing this 10-year-old boy home.
