#### Details of Disappearance Theodore Jost is a U.S. Army Veteran. The Portage County Sheriff's Department was asked on Aug 30th, 2012 to do a welfare check on Theodores mother, Marie Jost. The Social Security Administration had been unable to contact Marie Jost, even though her Social Security checks were still being cashed. Theodore qualified for Social Security benefits but never applied for them. Upon arriving the police made contact with Marie’s son, Charles T. “Butch” Jost but he claimed his mother was traveling with Theodore. He was unable to provide a description of a vehicle and refused to allow the police to look around the property. According to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, neither Charles nor Theodore own any vehicles and neither have a valid driver's license. Two neighbors, who had lived in the area for years, were interviewed and both claimed to have never seen an elderly woman at Charles’ residence. Please see Charley Project for all the developments afterwards. However, both of their remains are still unaccounted for. #### More Information [Theodore’s NaMus](https://www.namus.gov/MissingPersons/Case#/18227/details?nav) [Marie’s NaMus](https://www.namus.gov/MissingPersons/Case#/18226?nav) [Theodore’s Charley Project](https://charleyproject.org/case/theodore-j-jost) [Doe Network](https://www.doenetwork.org/cases/3390dfwi.html)
