On the morning of April 18, 1988, 18-year-old Jennifer Lynn Floyd left her job at Hancock Fabrics in Tupelo, Mississippi after receiving a telephone call that visibly upset her. Coworkers saw her leave the store in tears; the caller’s identity and the subject of the call are not known. She was last seen wearing a green and white sweater, light green slacks, Pony high-top tennis shoes and carrying a red cloth purse.

Jennifer’s car was found abandoned the next day at a Mighty Mart on West Main Street in Tupelo. She lived in the 1000 block of Chickasaw Trail and was the mother of a one-year-old daughter; her family reports she would not have voluntarily abandoned her child. The Tupelo Police Department investigated, but few details have been released and the case has gone cold. Jennifer’s grandmother’s 2009 obituary listed Jennifer as having predeceased her.

Does anyone who lived or worked in Tupelo in April 1988 recall seeing Jennifer that morning or recognize the description of her clothing or purse?
