Jessica Lynn Garino, 21, was last seen January 25, 2012, after moving from Unicoi, Tennessee, to Goldsboro, North Carolina, the prior winter for drug treatment. At disappearance she was described as 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 10 inches, 130–150 pounds, with brown shoulder-length hair and green eyes. Distinctive tattoos include a rose on the back of her left shoulder, Jessica tattooed around her right ankle, and tribal stars on the top of her left foot.

Shortly before she vanished Jessica had moved in with a roommate and a 52-year-old boyfriend, Carson Cameron, a relationship her family worried about. She stayed in daily contact with family; her sister’s last call was in late January 2012 when Jessica said she wouldn’t be paid for another week and might lose phone service. A coworker saw her January 25 and she attended the Carolina Treatment Center on January 23. Her social media went quiet in early January 2012.

Accounts about her departure conflict: Cameron told investigators she left suddenly after an argument, while roommates said Jessica and Cameron left together and he returned alone days later. Her food stamp card was used in Charleston, South Carolina, and Goldsboro for about a month after she was last seen, which the family says likely was not her. Law enforcement in North Carolina and Tennessee continue to investigate; many questions remain.

Did anyone in Goldsboro or Charleston see Jessica around January–February 2012 or recognize the tattoos described?
