Curious why she needed to contact LE?

Her Facebook states she lives in Tennesse. It also shows her as engaged to be married. (last post April 1). Her fiance is actively posting with updates on the search for her as is her family. She is dearly loved and lots of people are looking for her which is good. Log into Facebook A more recent news article states she DID live in Tipton Co. TN but moved to Arkansas. So I assume she left her job of six years in TN as well (or transferred to another location). Her Mom stated she may be going through "some emotional issues". https://wreg.com/news/search-for-missing-woman-continues-in-arkansas-county/

The family has hired Praesidium Group Solutions, a private detective agency in Arkansas. On its FB page there are mentions of possible locations. Her fiance has also added info on his FB.

Sorry, can't post the info here. It does sound encouraging, though.

I wonder if there is a connection to the Montana Marlene Bone case? Both from Paragould and investigated by Greene County Sheriff's Department.

I wonder if there is a connection to the Montana Marlene Bone case? Both from Paragould and investigated by Greene County Sheriff's Department.

I think the geographic location is the only similarity. Montana Marlene Bone is currently wanted, an absconder listed with LE in Greene County whose arrest(s) involved controlled substances. She went missing in 2019 after her supervised probation began. ADC That case (she has others in the system) is 28CR-17-112: STATE V MONTANA MARLENE BONE She was given 60 months supervised probation after serving her jail time.

It's been 25 days since anyone has heard from Jessica Paige Kemp. While the boots on the ground search covers a wealth of land, the Greene County Sheriff's Department is also examining Kemp's electronic devices. Law enforcement, a pool of support and especially her family are desperate for any sign of Kemp.

I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to post this because it's from law enforcement: Greene County Sheriff Department update from May 30, 2025. Here's part of the post. It also includes an investigative timeline.

"Jessica Paige Kemp was contacted by a Greene County Deputy Sheriff on 05/05/2025 at a primitive camping site at the Wildlife Management Area adjacent to Lake Ashbaugh, located in extreme Northwest Greene County. Kemp had placed a 911 call to dispatch to report something or someone under her car.

Upon the deputy's arrival, it was determined that nothing was under or in Kemp's vehicle. During the Crisis Intervention trained deputy's conversation with Kemp, it was learned (confirmed by radio traffic) that Kemp had recently stopped taking prescription medications to treat mental health. At the time of the deputy's interview of Kemp, she did not meet the criteria for being taken into custody under the provisions afforded to Crisis Intervention Trained officers under Act 423 of 2017. Kemp advised the deputy that she would follow up with her physician regarding her mental health medications."

"The Greene County Sheriff's Department has worked diligently on this case, and I am very thankful for my dedicated investigators and deputies that have put in numerous hours of work to locate Ms. Kemp. To reiterate, there were no signs of foul play at the scene. Ms. Kemp is thirty-two years of age. She is free to live her life as she sees fit, including not having contact with family and/or friends. However, until we locate her or receive word from her that she is fine and does not want to be found by anyone, we will continue to pursue any leads that we become aware of."

All of the above is a direct quote from the Greene County Sheriff's Office.

Skeletal remains were found Tuesday near a northeast Arkansas lake where a woman was reported missing after camping alone last month, authorities say.

Greene County Sheriff Brad Snyder said a detective and a civilian search party made the discovery around 1:45 p.m. in an area southwest of Lake Ashbaugh.

Snyder said they encountered a strong smell of decomposition before finding the remains in “a very advanced state of decomposition.”

The remains, which have not been identified, will be sent by the county coroner to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for positive identification, Snyder said.

Jessica Paige Kemp, 32, a Paragould resident originally from Munford, Tennessee, was last seen alive on May 5, camping alone in roughly the same area near Lake Ashbaugh, her family said.

Would remains be skeletal after a month? No idea, but had thought it would need more time?
