In August of 2019, 27-year-old Joel Stephany was living in Lima, New York, just 30 minutes south of Rochester.
Joel is known as a sweet guy, friendly and easy-going.
On August 24, Joel spent the night at his mom’s house. On August 25, Joel’s mom, Wendy, got up to leave for work and said goodbye to her son. Joel had always been pretty close to both of his parents. He had in fact been an only child until he was 6 years old.
For the next couple of days, Wendy did try to call and text Joel, but she never heard back from him. Even though he was an adult, she was starting to worry.
On August 27, Wendy received a text from a friend of Joel’s, who said they stopped by Joel’s place, and they didn’t think anyone had been there and his animals weren’t being taken care of.
Joel had two dogs that he loved more than anything.
By August 29, he was officially reported as a missing person.
Joel hasn’t been seen or heard from since.
Where is Joel Stephany?
