Found Deceased CT - Jessica Edwards, 30, South Windsor, 9 May 2021 *husband arrested*

[Inthedetails]

If my sister died in a car crash or God forbid was shot, it would be easier to comprehend,” Yanique said Wednesday while poking around in the brush of a wooded area off Burnham Street, a little over a mile from where her sister lived in South Windsor, looking for clues.
She must keep searching for her sister, she said. That is what she would do for her.

“I almost want to call her name out,” she said, clinging to hope that her sister is still alive.

Yanique and several volunteers scanned several areas Wednesday, using their own drones and dogs, hoping to find anything that might point to Jessica’s whereabouts as daily searches spanning three towns have so far come up empty. Unfortunately, this search would end up like the others. Still, Yanique plans to continue until she finds her sister.

She acknowledges it’s overwhelming.

“I don’t know what I am searching for,” the 26-year-old woman said. “Should I go off what I saw her last wearing?”


Yanique said the last time she saw her sister was at 11 p.m. on Mother’s Day, May 9. An email was sent around 2:30 a.m. May 10 from Jessica’s account to her professor saying she would not be in the class that day at Hartford Hospital where she is a clinical training student in respiratory care. Hutchinson told police the last time he saw Jessica was between 6:30 and 7 a.m. that morning. He reported her missing later that day.

The email puzzled Yanique, who does not believe that her sister wrote it, and thinks her sister was taken at that time.


Jessica Edwards loves car shows, her sister said, and getting dressed up with makeup even if she is not going out. But most of all, she loves spending time with her son and taking him places, she added. After several days of no contact, Yanique finally visited with Jayden in a Zoom call this week. His father and other extended family members are caring for the baby.


Holding on to hope

This family is so relatable. They celebrated Mothers Day together, as I often to with my sisters and sisters-in-law. They are searching as I hope my family would do...but how to do it? Nobody is prepared for this challenge. My heart is absolutely with them.

Holding on to hope

To Note:
•Yanique and several volunteers scanned several areas Wednesday, using their own drones and dogs but have come up empty
•The search has covered 3 towns
•Police have said that the timeline is unclear exactly when Edwards disappeared
•LE is not ruling out foul play
•the search of the couple’s condo and three cars resulted in the collection of evidence that they said is “beneficial.”


•Her sister last saw her around 11pm on Mother’s Day
•Her husband states he last saw her around 6:30-7am Mon morning.
•An email was sent around 2:30am stating she would not be to clinicals
•her sister does not believe that Jessica wrote it, and thinks her sister was taken at that time

•Cleverdon said five detectives are working full-time on the case. He added that police are not searching the areas volunteers are canvassing because they do not have “credible information” that Edwards is located there.

Well, I think we can surmise what happened here. I just hope they arrest him soon, and hope that they are able to collect enough evidence to convict him.

Just getting caught up on this case. Isn't that always the case. I don't think I really realized how often this happens. So sad.

I know, it’s sad, right?

Yes, and Mother's Day is a common denominator. A women who was days away from graduating and becoming independent no less.

The family members of a South Windsor mother continue to search for her more than a week after she went missing
At this point, I know—I feel she wouldn't be safe because she wouldn't be gone for this long," Jessica’s younger sister, Yanique Edwards, said…
The family is overwhelmed by the support from the community. They said people they don't even know have called in and joined in the search.

“At this point, I’m so anxious to find out what happened, where is she, what’s going on. It’s just like—it’s hard, you know, it’s very hard to go on with my day when I’m so used to talking to her every minute or talking to her all the time.”

A sign with Jessica's picture was shared on a billboard at the Yard Goat's game last night.

Search for missing South Windsor mother resumes in Hartford this afternoon

I wonder why they’re focusing on the park? How would you even know where to begin searching? Her “leaving with persons unknown” does not make any sense, so we don’t even know IF she left the house (alive - sorry), how would you start searching?

Unless cell phone pinged etc. I can’t remember if she supposedly had her phone with her? I need to go back and re read. I’m following too many threads and I’m confused.
MOO

For law enforcement, I would think there would have to be a specific reason to be given permission by their administration. A ping of a victim's or suspect's phone, a dog tracked to it, a credible tip, someplace close to the victim's last seen location, someone confessing, etc.

For family, they could maybe decide to search a certain place because of a hunch, or it's a place the victim/suspect frequented, or a place a psychic suggested, etc. Really, any reason they want.

 

[Kinderbelle]

I can't believe they still haven't found her. I have faith that they have found something and are being very cautious in how they proceed. They must have their reasons for keeping things close.

As for me, I only know as much as you do and there is nothing new on SM.
