She was last seen at around 8 pm on Tuesday, August 13 in Allendale, South Carolina, with her car found abandoned the next day, per WJBF , an ABC affiliate.

Jessica’s aunt, Amy, told The U.S. Sun that the last the family heard from her was about 8-8:30 pm on Tuesday night.

Police found Jessica’s car with the keys still inside, her shoes, and her cell phone that same day at around 9:15 pm, according to WJBF.

According to authorities, it was stuck across the railroad tracks that run through the community of Martin in northwestern Allendale County.

The vehicle was still warm, but had been sitting for a while, said Allendale County Sheriff James Freeman, per the outlet.

According to Freeman, authorities searched for Jessica on Wednesday, August 14.

The search involved three helicopters, two of which were from the Savannah River Site, and a local dog team, per WJBF.

The helicopters provided an aerial survey of the area surrounding the car for five and a half hours, the outlet reported.
