Once an investigation was launched, authorities combed through Jennifer’s bank accounts and cell phone records to uncover any indicators of her whereabouts. But, these efforts were unfruitful.
Additionally, police weren’t able to ascertain whether she brought any belongings from her home with her before she vanished. It’s also unclear if she had a means of transportation.
One of Jennifer’s close friends, Melissa Sharretto, detailed how Jennifer had gone missing once before about 10 years ago. Then, she went home two weeks later.
But, this time is different because Melissa claimed she’d always been able to get in touch with Jennifer on her cell phone.
“So when you don’t get those phone calls anymore, it’s like where did she go? Why? Why didn’t she call? Something’s wrong, and we’re stuck,” Melissa said.
According to Valerie, her daughter had previously worked as a medical secretary for a doctor’s office before her battle with drug addiction began. Jennifer struggled on and off for about 15 years – at one point, successfully remaining clean for one year before relapsing again.
Throughout her challenges, though, Valerie claimed that her daughter remained a kind person.
“She would go into these rehab houses, and I would have people contact me telling me Jen made them breakfast every day. She was just that type of person and was also very artistic,” she explained.
“She made everybody laugh. She was a normal, outgoing person. And even though she used drugs, she would go to rehab and be the same person. Sometimes she would take my car, and sometimes I would call the cops to find her, but she would always come home.”
Jennifer’s loved ones are still committed to finding answers in her case, which is why they’ve hired two private detectives. Additionally, a retired policeman has been aiding the investigation.
Her family reportedly believes that a past boyfriend may have had something to do with Jennifer’s disappearance. However, this theory remains unsubstantiated, and the search for Jennifer continues.
