“Jesse was last seen in California but has not reached out to us yet. What he needs more than anything is kindness and love… Please keep him in your prayers. If you see him, pleas let him know that many, many people care… (He does not need to be the subject of tabloid journalism, making everything worse),” Camp’s sister writes on her Instagram story. “I can’t begin to thank everyone who reached out to express their concern and support after my brother Jesse went MIA. He truly has the most beautiful friends from all walks of life, and he is SO LOVED.”
