A TikTok creator who went missing ten days ago after a night at a Georgia strip club has been found dead, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.
The Clayton County Police Department confirmed that the body of 31-year-old Jiare Schneider was discovered off Brown Road in Jonesboro just after 1 p.m. on Tuesday (November 26).
“Our officers received a call from friends and family of Jiare Schneider, who had been missing from Forest Park,” said Clayton County Police Department spokesperson Lt. Ricky in a statement to Fox 5.
Authorities did not specify when the crash occurred but noted that Schneider’s vehicle, a silver Toyota 4Runner, was found “deep in the wood line, which indicates there was a fast speed approaching the intersection.”
Schneider’s family ultimately found his body while conducting their own search. Family friend Germequa Bell told Fox 5 Atlanta, “This morning, a group of us gathered, and we came out here, and we went to the woods…and there he was. We knew when he disappeared that something was up.”
According to The Independent, the crash site was about 25 minutes from a content creator’s house, which Schneider was known to frequent. Family members theorized he may have visited the house before the wreck.
“We were searching more around that content house where he was last seen,” Bell explained. “We hadn’t come this way earlier because construction blocked it off.”
A search using Schneider’s cellphone data eventually led his loved ones to the wooded area.

Days before he was discovered, Jasnique Oliver, Schneider’s sister, told Fox 5 that her brother hadn’t called his son in a few days, which was unusual for him.
“He hadn’t called his son, and that’s not like him,” Oliver said, adding that Schneider was a devoted father to his son, who has DiGeorge Syndrome, a chromosomal disorder that affects development.
Schneider, who was trying to grow his online presence as “Big Homie TooTall” on Instagram and TikTok, had also not posted for over a week—further alarming his family.
“We were very concerned. We’ve been trying to find out what happened to him for well over a week,” she told the outlet.
But while the family is relieved to have found Schneider, they expressed frustration with the lack of resources and support from local authorities.
“Of course, we’re relieved we found him,” Bell said. “But we’re still angry we didn’t get the help we were asking for.”
As the family mourns, they’re focused on caring for Schneider’s son.
“His son, that’s all we can think about,” Bell added.
