Today marks 10 years since Jesse Farber disappeared.

Despite being missing for a decade, the mother of his children, Rachel Carroll, thinks of him every single day.

And the Tamaqua woman hasn’t given up hope that one day Farber will be found. She continues to organize searches, and this month, she is planning even more.

“When I’m not trying to raise awareness for his case or for other missing families, I spend a lot of time trying to find an answer to the same questions I’ve asked myself for years,” Carroll said “What really happened during that call for help? Why was he even in the mountain to begin with? And how come there is no trace of him after all this time?”

Farber, of Tamaqua, disappeared on the evening of Aug. 11, 2015. He had been spotted walking on the “S curves” to Tamaqua from the New England Valley, and shortly thereafter, phoned Carroll. He told her that he was being chased by coyotes.

His phone then died.

In the days and months following his disappearance, search crews combed the woods and mountains surrounding Tamaqua. He was never located.

“It’s a constant nightmare not knowing where he is. There are no answers, it’s as if time has stopped since he went missing,” Carroll said. “But at the same time, so much time has passed. People are missing much longer than 10 years, but to me and my children … it’s a lifetime.”

Carroll has never stopped looking. She frequently gets together with family, friends and the community to visit the places where Farber made his calls.

And on the 10 year-anniversary of his disappearance, she’s organizing even more frequent searches to honor Farber.

One was held Sunday. Others will be held Aug. 17, 24 and 31. Volunteers will meet at the Tamaqua Area High School parking lot at times that will be announced on Carrol’s “Finding Jesse Farber” Facebook page.

She explained that search parties continue to use cellphone data analysis compiled by searchers Steve Fischer and Stephen Crabtree. It’s helping them look at a more defined area where Farber’s last phone “ping” occurred, she said.

“This is a new area that was never previously searched by any professionals. We are trying to raise funds to bring in teams that specialize in finding missing people,” Carroll said. “Until then, I have a wonderful group of people who show up for every search I have. Despite weather conditions or terrain, they are always there.”

She said volunteers have canvassed much of the “new” area.

“I truly believe if Jesse is in this targeted area, we will find him. We will find a trace of him. We will find something to get us even closer,” Carroll said.

She misses Farber, who was 29 years-old at the time of the disappearance. He was very laid back, outgoing and fun, and because of that, he had many friends, she said.

“Watching him be a loving father was one of his very best qualities. He wanted what was best for our kids,” Carroll said. “It was important to him that he was able to provide the best for them.”

She said that no matter what, Farber deserves to be brought home.

“I may never know exactly what happened, but I’ve accepted the most important thing is bringing him home,” Farber said. “My kids need that, I need that, our family needs that. It bothers me to think he can be just laying somewhere. Our family will never give up searching until he is brought home. I’ll do whatever it takes.”

Carroll noted that she and Farber’s children are mostly grown.

“They spent their entire childhood with their father missing. I often think about what our lives would look like today if he was as still here. If everything we planned and hoped for would be what we wished it would be,” she said.
