Jessica Gale Shoemake disappeared from the Denver/Arvada area in early spring 2005 after a brief stay in the Denver City Jail. She was 21, white, blue-eyed, brown-haired, about 5 feet 4 inches and 100 pounds, and had known struggles with drug abuse and a health condition that required regular medication. The last confirmed contact was a phone call from the jail to her mother in early March 2005 asking for bond money; her mother declined.

Investigators later learned that a man named Philip Deegan paid Jessica’s bond and secured her release. After leaving custody she was never seen or heard from again. Her mother told police she suspected Jessica might have planned to go to Las Vegas, but that lead produced no confirmed sightings. The case is cold but remains open with the Arvada Police Department.

Did anyone in the Denver, Arvada, or Las Vegas area have recent contact or sightings of Jessica after her release from jail? Who might have known her plans that week in March 2005?
