Jael Tiara Hamblen was 20 and a young mother living in Anchorage when she was last seen during the evening of October 11, 2014, in the Trailside Loop area of South Anchorage; her communications continued into the early morning hours of October 12. She is about 5 feet 4 inches and between 170 and 190 pounds, with green eyes and naturally brown hair recently dyed pink. She sometimes used the names Sasha or Tiara and had a light strawberry-colored birthmark at the base of her skull.

That night Jael returned home with her roommate before 10:00 p.m.; the roommate’s mother was caring for the children. Jael was emotionally upset after a romantic rejection, sent messages to two men in the early morning hours, and was last contacted shortly after 3:00 a.m. Her bed was found unmade around noon, her 1998 white Ford Expedition remained at the house, and her infant son was still there; she apparently left with her purse and phone. Later that afternoon callers reached voicemail and texts to her were not received.

In March 2015 hikers in Chugiak found a black purse that contained her Social Security card and an iPhone 5, a location investigators said Jael was unlikely to have reached on her own. Police described the disappearance as highly unusual and said they had not established whether a crime occurred.

If anyone knew Jael’s routines, movements that night, or saw her between South Anchorage and Chugiak, what can be shared with investigators?
