Jiare Schneider, a 31-year-old TikToker, died after being missing for 10 days. His family found him in the woods near Brown Road in Jonesboro, Georgia. They discovered his body on Nov. 26 at about 1 p.m.
Schneider disappeared on Nov. 15. He was known as @Big_Homie_TooTall on TikTok and Instagram.
Family Searches Day and Night
Schneider’s family put in tireless effort to find him. They reached out to the Clayton County Police for help, while also conducting their own search and following every lead they could find. Despite the challenges, they remained determined. Family friend Germequa Bell described the emotional moment they found him: “A group of us gathered this morning. We went into the woods, and there he was. From the moment he went missing, we knew something wasn’t right.”
To guide their search, the family used Schneider’s cellphone data. However, construction in the area made it difficult to cover all the ground. “We looked near the content house where he was last seen, but we couldn’t go further because of the blocked roads,” Bell explained. This setback slowed their progress, but their persistence never wavered. Nevertheless, they continued their search, driven by love and hope.
A Car Crash Ends the Search
Eventually, the family found Schneider’s body inside a silver Toyota 4Runner. He had borrowed this car from a friend before he disappeared. That night, he had visited Rumors, an adult club.
According to police, the car sped across Brown Road, leaving the road and crashing into thick bushes before hitting a tree. The evidence suggests the vehicle was moving at high speed. Lt. Ricky Porter explained, “The car ended up deep in the woods. The evidence shows it was moving fast before the crash.”
The crash site was located near a content house that Schneider had reportedly visited before his death.
A Loving Father
While Schneider was a creative TikTok star, he was also a loving father. He had a young son diagnosed with DiGeorge Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder. This condition affects many parts of the body.
Family members say Schneider deeply loved his son. His sister, Jasnique Oliver, noticed something unusual when he hadn’t called his son. “He hadn’t reached out for days. That’s not like him,” she said.
Bell also shared how much Schneider cared for his child. “His son is all we think about. This loss is so painful for all of us.”
