I live right outside of Atlanta and ran across a tiktok with her info. I've never heard of her before, and I find it heartbreaking when I google I find very little info. Who was the family member that dropped her off at the greygound station? Did Jennifer live in Atlanta? Does anyone know what her plans were once she got to Atlanta? Who was going to pick her up? Why can't I find any family searching for answers on where she is? She was missing since 2015, but the Namus case was created July 27, 2023, why is that?

Good question. There seems to be minimal information regarding Jennifer's disappearance.

This link indicates she was last seen on 12/01/2014, rather than 12/01/2015, at the Greyhound bus station in Tampa. Several SM postings are using the 2015 date, as is NamUs, but it's unclear which date is correct. Regardless, she has been missing for a very long time.

Was Jennifer reported as missing back in 2014/15?

Also per the link:

[...]
The next day Jennifer made contact with her family via phone but has not been seen or heard from since.
[...]

There's no mention of where she was calling from or who she spoke with. It's possible that she arrived in Atlanta, but so far there's no verification that Jennifer actually arrived there. IMO the person(s) she spoke with during that call should have more, or at least some, information.

Depending on when she was actually known to be missing, did LE check security video at the bus stations in either Tampa and/or Atlanta for any signs of her?

Curious that in each post I've seen so far the generic term 'family' is being used, but no references to specific persons within the family.

Given the lack of information, and the residences aside from Olsmar FL, I wonder if she is still missing

Good question. It's curious that she would have been last seen in 2014/2015 and it took about ten years to file a MP report.

It seems logical to assume that we are missing significant amounts of information regarding Jennifer's case.

This might be her. What is her age? This Jennifer is from Oldsmar.

Update, I spoke with the detective and apparently she would use that as her address, but it isn't hers. She does not live there. It belongs to her sister, who she was sort of not talking to at the time, but she is the one who reported her missing. He didn't know who Jennifer was going to see in Atlanta, or if that was even really where she was going.

There is a Jennifer E Lauria in Rocky Point, Florida, with a history of Oldmar. Rocky Point is near Tampa. I searched the Hillsborough County clerk's website to see if she had any traffic tickets, but there was nothing there. https://www.fastbackgroundcheck.com/people/jennifer-lauria/id/f-3874322455347157384
