Jeanette DuPriest, 41, disappeared from West Philadelphia in the spring of 2010. She was last seen leaving Wanda’s, a bar at 54th and Springfield, on the night of April 1 or in the early hours of April 2. After leaving the bar she reportedly stopped at two houses on Belmar Terrace and then vanished; her home was on nearby Beaumont Avenue.

Witnesses gave conflicting descriptions of her clothing that night: some said blue jeans and a blue striped shirt, others white pants and a black shirt. She was reported carrying a purse and wearing gold figure-eight earrings and bracelets on her right arm. Family describe her as a devoted mother of eight who would not have willingly abandoned them and noted she left behind depression medication. She had a history of drug abuse but was reportedly not using at the time.

Jeanette is Black/African American, 5 feet 11 inches, about 195 pounds, with blond or strawberry hair, brown eyes and multiple tattoos: DOC on the right side of her neck; a flower on her left leg; Jeanette on an arm; Irving with a rose on her back; and Sexy above her right breast. The Philadelphia Police Department investigated the disappearance and the family has provided DNA samples. Does anyone who lived in that neighborhood or knew Jeanette have information that could help explain what happened?
