Saline County resident Alexander Jordan is a 21-year-old man who lives in a home with his mother and stepfather. Jordan was employed by the Jefferson Regional Medical Center and serves in the United States Army National Guard.

It was also disclosed that he is currently suffering from depression, and this diagnosis has led to his impending dismissal from the Guard.
