I kept reminding my brother that I needed to look through those ponds. Jayden’s aunt Susan Deedon told FOX4 on Friday,
“I just didn’t know there was another pond over there, or I would have gone and looked. “Even if he fled, he had a good reason,” she said.
Police said they had discovered some remains that day, and Robker’s family said FOX4 the remains matched the teen’s description. According to Gladstone police, preliminary autopsy results show no evident signs of wrongdoing. Police in Gladstone and Kansas City are still looking.

“This is not the result we truly wanted. The answers we were expecting to find weren’t these ones, Jayden’s uncle Derek Robker said to FOX4 on Friday. He still had a lot of life left to graduate, attend college, get hitched, and bear children. Jayden won’t ever experience that, according to his grandmother Kitty Robker.
“It hurts so badly, and I know the neighborhood and everyone who assisted us are crying, too.”
