A heartbreaking development has emerged in the search for 23 year old Hayden Blair, who was reported missing from his South Jackson home on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2026.
Blair was last seen around 9:00 p.m. that evening at his residence. He failed to report to his job at the AutoZone Distribution Center in Lexington, TN, the following day and did not arrive to pick up his children, behavior described by family as completely out of character. His phone was later discovered tucked into the vinyl siding of a shed behind his home, with his vehicle still parked at the property. The Jackson Police Department launched an investigation into the missing person report, and his family offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to his whereabouts.
On Tuesday afternoon, February 17, 2026, Talk-N West TN received a tip from a source close to the investigation stating that Blair had been confirmed deceased. Authorities have not confirmed official details, and the details will remain limited pending further release from the Jackson Police Department.
As of this time, Tationa Williams, the mother of Blair’s children, is in custody and being held for investigation in connection with the death of Hayden Blair.
The Jackson Police Department continues to investigate. Anyone with information is urged to contact them at 731-425-8400.
This is a developing story. Updates will be provided as more details become available from official sources. Our thoughts are with Hayden Blair’s family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time.
