The holiday cheer has been dimmed for one Texas family as San Marcos Police urgently seek the public’s assistance in the search for Jacob Newhouse.

According to a Facebook post by the San Marcos Police Department shared on December 1, Newhouse was last seen leaving his residence at Escondido Circle in San Marcos, apparently without any of his essentials.
In a distressing twist, it seems Newhouse might have intended to harm himself, a notion derived from undisclosed additional information obtained by authorities. His disappearance was made known to the SMPD by a family member on Friday, December 1, further escalating the urgency of his situation.
