MISSING
PERSON
JERRY ROWE, JR.
UPDATE:
In early May of 2011, a body matching the
general description of Jerry Rowe, Jr.
was recovered from the Licking River. The
family is currently awaiting DNA
test results. Our thoughts and prayers
continue to be with the family at this time.
If you have any information on this case,
please contact the investigator listed at the bottom of this
article.
Jerry Rowe Jr., age 26 and father of a young child, went
missing from his home in Royalton Kentucky on January 28th
of 2011. His roommate at the residence reported that they
saw flashlights in the driveway and became afraid and
decided to run from the residence into the area surrounding
their home. The area surrounding Jerry's residence is
particularly rough and rugged terrain and very difficult to
navigate. The roommate returned home sometime later to find
that Jerry had not yet returned. Jerry has yet to come home.
Searches of the area surrounding his home, including a pond,
have not yielded any further clues.
His friends and family are desperate for information that
would indicate where he is or what has happened to him. They
are urging anyone with any information no matter how
insignificant it may seem to please step forward.
Jerry is a white male who is 26 years of age. He is
approximately 6' 1" with short brown hair and blue eyes.
Jerry weighs approximately 160 lbs and is generally
described as having a slender build. Please note that Jerry
has a scar on his right arm from a wound sustained by a
chain saw.
Last week Jerry's cousin Peggy Carver released this
statement for the public:
"Jerry is greatly loved and missed by many .It is so hard
to believe that someone can just disappear without a trace.
This has been a devastating experience for the family. His
mom and dad still walk the hills daily searching .He has a
son that doesn't know where his daddy is. We just want to
find Jerry and bring him home. The family needs closure. We
are devoted to finding him and we will not give up. We pray
everyday that someone comes forward with information that
will lead to Jerrys location."
The family is offering an
$8600.00
reward in connection with this case.
So
often in cases such as these, the media attention is intense
in the first hours and days of a person's disappearance but
unfortunately as time passes, interest can wane. Please help
Jerry's family get the answers they so desperately seek. If
you have any information at all, no matter how insignificant
or unimportant it may seem, the investigator in this case
wants to hear from you. You can be a vital part of solving
this mystery and bringing this family the answers that they
need.

JEFFERSON COUNTY JANE DOE
The Jefferson County Coroner's
office would like you to take a close look at this clay
facial reconstruction of the skeletal remains of a woman
that were found in 2005 in Shively Kentucky.
In 2006 Dr.
Emily Craig completed the facial reconstruction of the
victim in hopes of revealing this woman's identity.
According to Dr. Craig one of the most prominent and
recognizable features of the woman is her very thin nose and
the flatness of her face is also a trait to note.
This woman
was determined to have been between 20 and 40 years of age
and would have stood between 5'2" and 5'4" in height.
Construction work led to the discovery of her skeletal
remains at the 3600 block of Seventh Street in 2005 where
she may have been for as little as one year or for as many
as fifteen years.
Dr. Holmes, coroner of Jefferson County
remarks that everyone who dies deserves dignity and respect
and he is hopeful that these extraordinary measures will
lead to the identify of this woman. Click
