I’m not from the Lakeview area itself, but do reside about 30 mins southeast. I also attend the local public university, which is only a ~5 min drive from Lakeview and am in the area quite often. I haven’t seen any missing posters around the school or in the vicinity, which isn’t surprising considering how little information we have on the case.
I believe someone mentioned this up thread, but we have HD “crime cameras” all over the city. If one caught anything suspicious relating to Jessica, then I’m positive NOPD must have seen it by now. But, MOO, I don’t put too much stock towards NOPD investigating her case thoroughly/taking it seriously. I hope I’m wrong of course, but I don’t expect too much information to come out if she is found. I haven’t heard anything about this case at all, which is surprising since my family watches the news consistently and let’s me know of any missing persons mentioned on the local news.
As was also mentioned, the area along with many other areas in the city have been having issues with car break ins for months now. Other than that, Lakeview is pretty “safe” compared to other neighborhoods and has a good sense of community. City Park is HUGE, and has a few “hidden” areas that are not maintained and are overgrown compared to other parts of the park (established areas such as NOMA, the “big lake” walking path, Carousel Gardens, the horse ranch, etc.).
I hope that she is indeed safe and with people that she trusts, and this is the reason that we are getting so little information and no updates regarding her case. If she isn’t yet on NamUs, I’ll try and see if I can submit the information we know about the case and create a profile for her.
Everything is MOO.
