Melissa Jordan was 26 and working as a certified nurse’s aide when she was last seen on the evening of December 22, 1995, in Milan, Tennessee. She was described as a young Black female, between 5 feet 4 inches and 5 feet 6 inches tall and about 165 pounds. That night she left a residence on Robinson Street with 36-year-old Onnie B. Nesbitt intending to go out for dinner; they departed in her brownish-orange 1985 Chevrolet Celebrity or Buick Riviera and neither returned.

In early January 1996 Melissa’s vehicle was found parked at a home on Dupree Street. A search of the residence turned up drugs, money, and weapons, but no sign of Melissa. Nesbitt was missing for several weeks after December 22 before reappearing; he has been described by a judge as violent with a long criminal history and was later sentenced to 24 years on an unrelated firearms charge. It remains unclear whether he was ever publicly named a suspect in Melissa’s disappearance. The case is classified as an endangered missing person matter and remains unsolved.

Are there readers who knew Melissa, her movements in Milan in December 1995, or who remember seeing that brownish-orange 1985 Celebrity or Buick Riviera?
