Charles Bubba Jackson Jr. was 33 and a father of three when he disappeared after last being seen on May 23, 2014, walking at the intersection of Moffett and Schillinger Roads in Citronelle. He was reportedly heading to meet his girlfriend and sent a single one-word text to her that read Help; his phone was never used after that and he did not arrive at his destination.

Family members from the start doubted this was a voluntary disappearance. The initial investigation identified persons of interest but stalled because witnesses would not cooperate and investigators lacked sufficient evidence. His body has never been found.

In September 2023 authorities arrested Bridgette Mathews, charging her with Jackson’s murder. Investigators allege she ran him over with a vehicle and that at least one other person helped conceal his body; officials say new physical evidence and witnesses who later came forward produced the breakthrough. The investigation is ongoing.

If anyone knew Charles, saw him around Citronelle on May 23, 2014, or has information about Bridgette Mathews or others connected to his disappearance, please come forward.
