Jenna Van Gelderen, 25, disappeared from her parents’ Druid Hills home near Atlanta in August 2017 while house-sitting for them during a trip to Canada. The last known contact was a text to a friend at about 2:00 a.m. on August 19 saying she was going to lie down. After that her phone stopped being used and she was never heard from again.

Her brother found the house locked the next morning with lights and the television still on. Missing were Jenna, her dark blue 2010 Mazda 6, her two cell phones and a large hand-stitched Egyptian tapestry. Left behind were makeup, shoes and phone chargers her family said she would not ordinarily leave, and the family’s elderly cat had not been fed.

The car turned up on September 5 parked about seven miles away in northwest Atlanta, nearly out of gas; Jenna’s suitcase, wallet and glasses were inside, along with a phone charger and shoes that did not belong to her. One of her phones last pinged near Fairburn the morning of her disappearance while the car was sighted elsewhere. Her family has said she had a nonverbal learning disability and worried she could have been vulnerable. The DeKalb County Police Department lists the case as open; there have been no definitive answers.

If anyone knew Jenna, saw her car around mid‑August 2017, or has information about the tapestry or the phones, please share what you can.
