Found Deceased LA - Jessica Easterly Durning, 43, New Orleans, 14 Aug 2019

[MsMiniSleuth]

Two different “last seen” dates exist. The friend that initiated LE involvement (and who is quoted in media) lists Aug. 12. The police release lists Aug. 14 as date last seen by her husband.

Both professional Twitter accounts are dark on Aug. 12 and resume activity on the 13th and 14th.

What do you deduce from that?

I wonder if anyone heard from her between that call on Monday evening to the friend, and some time in the early hours of, or before 12 noon at least, on the Wed 14 before he said he woke at 3pm and didn't see her again.

Nothing specific, but I think the enormity and frequency of her digital footprint will help LE and friends and family trace her activity!

The username Viviannexlance is also popular on many sites they were on. Seems like they were heavily involved in the adult industry. Hoping she is found safe.

@Knox yeah, I know. I wondered if it was a covert message, like please come home, still love you, etc. But either way, seems like life is pretty much carrying on as normal don't you think?

Yup!!

Does she have her cell phone?

Article says she has no keys, wallet, or phone. Car was left at residence.

Here is an interesting article about the online 'camming' industry:

"But despite the positive feedback from the site's most successful couples, the concerning aspects of the industry are there if you look for them. In 2016 the National Crime Agency claimed webcam blackmail cases were up more than 50% from the previous year."

An article which interviews several individuals and one couple working in the industry:
"Jane knows several peers who quit the industry after trolls published their personal information online, sometimes even physically showing up and stalking the performer in person. "I definitely worry about my physical safety," she said. "I'm at risk every day...I just hope I'm not the next girl to go through something terrible." "

The Lance of the Viv & Lance account has posted some interesting stuff in the last hour...

According to her industry interview, she performs under the stage name Viv, along with her stage partner, Lance. The interview refers to them as a "power couple" and discusses their transitions from other industries into their current industry, as well as life in their current city.

Her stage partner wished her a happy birthday via this shared account.

Edit: It's Viv, not Liv. Corrected above.

Doesn't appear to be talking to someone in response to questions. Is that as weird as I think it is?

Since Jessica is the VP of a "security and investigation" company per LinkedIn, I assume that her home has security cameras which should show her leaving the house.
JMO

by style of recent posts, I'm thinking Jessica mainly ran this account. Yes caught my eye too & wondered if
he doesn't know nuances of reply/retweet but other Twitter accounts would indicate yes. Hmmmm

Or from neighbours.

Cloudhopper is the SMS Twitter client; you can text to Twitter if you don’t have a smart phone. Seems that the messages pushed the sms character limit and were arbitrarily cut off.

I think he has written a 'statement' and then posted, but appears some out of order or missing ends of.

I did wonder whether when she spoke to friend she might have been having a mental health crisis, but surely if she did leave and check herself in somewhere, the facility would want her name and details, and don't they in US want payment too? Would the husband not contact her doctor and/or wherever has seen her in past, and enquire about her? He seems not to know, so I assume not. Seems odd to me that one wouldn't do anything, just carry on with life as normal.

If she was last seen about 1pm on the 14th, there are 2 hours before he woke when she would have left. If there is CCTV from outside they might pick her up leaving, if on her own or with someone else.

Was she okay at 1pm on 14th? Did she seem normal to him, or had things been bad?

I don't think it's likely she could have checked herself in any hospital/facility without even having her ID.

I also think she would have taken her phone at least letting her best friend know what was going on...........if she had chosen to go to a facility............MOO

 

[rkendmar]

The best friend who initiated the welfare check which prompted a missing persons police report, stated the last contact with Jessica was on the evening of 08/12/2019. She made plans to help Jessica "leave" the next day but was unable to contact her at that time.
The husband stated he last saw Jessica on 08/14/2019.

The 14th is what we have to take it from at the present. Presumably the daughter also saw her on the Tuesday and early Wednesday? Unless she had been away from home?

Although she is referred to as "our daughter" I believe that she is Jessica's stepdaughter and does not live with Jessica and her spouse full time.

The nearest hospital which has inpatient psychiatric services is 6.3 miles away from Jessica's house.
How would she get there?
She had no ID or insurance card, she had no car.
If she called an Uber or ambulance it would be on her cell phone, which was left at her house.
