Reward for information of WR missing man, Mancilla-Velez

Macon Regional Crimestoppers announced Monday that the organization is offering up to $2,000 for information leading to the arrest of the person(s) involved in the disappearance of Warner Robins missing man, Jesus Mancilla-Veleze. Later that same day, friends added an additional $1,000 making the total possible reward $3,000.

Macon Regional Crimestoppers Director, Greg Thomas, said Tuesday morning there was a misprint somewhere on Monday that caused media sources to announce the total reward is up to $8,000, which is not the case. The total minimum reward is $3,000.

Mancilla-Velez has been missing since Sept. 5 after he was last seen leaving his home on Red Fox Run. According to the initial release from the GBI (Georgia Bureau Investigation), Mancilla-Velez’s Chevy Tahoe was found abandoned the following evening on the side of Highway 42 in Crawford County.

On Sept. 30, the GBI Task Force asked the public for help in indentifying a camera found inside Mancilla-Velez’s vehicle. Officials said it was a black Q-See camera with lime or beige paint on the side and a red and yellow connector. They asked anyone who is either familiar or anyone who was missing a camera like the one described to contact the GBI.

Mancilla-Velez is described as a 35-year-old Hispanic male, who is around 5’8” tall and weighs 167 pounds. He has short brown hair and brown eyes.

Investigators believe he did not disappear willingly. Anyone with information is asked to call the GBI Tip Line at 1-800-597-8477 or the GBI’s Region 13 office at 478-987-4545.
