On Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 2022, deputies conducting a welfare check at a Louise Drive residence in Orangeburg, South Carolina, found 46-year-old Crystal Hope Jumper deceased from a gunshot wound to the upper body. Investigators concluded she had likely been killed weeks earlier, on November 1, 2022. Family members had requested the check after not hearing from Jumper for several weeks.

Jumper’s five-year-old daughter, Aspen, who could not walk or talk because of a rare neurological disorder, was missing from the home along with Jumper’s blue Mazda sedan. Authorities identified the child’s father, Antar Antonio Jeter, then 46, as the primary suspect and conducted a multi-state search. Sightings led investigators into North Carolina and tracking of financial transactions.

The search ended on December 9, 2022, when law enforcement found Jeter and the child in a hospital parking lot in Danville, Virginia; Jeter was taken into custody and the child was reunited with family. Jeter was charged with murder and larceny of a motor vehicle and extradited to South Carolina. Does anyone have information about Jumper, Aspen’s movements after October 2022, or knowledge of the blue Mazda sedan’s whereabouts before December 9, 2022?
