Jennifer Fay Powers was 29 when she was last seen at her home on Granto Road in Harvest, Alabama, on the night of July 12, 2008. Her husband says he woke during the night and found her gone. Her purse, wallet, driver’s license, cigarettes and prescription medication were all left behind, details investigators and family say point away from a planned departure.

The Madison County Sheriff’s Office now treats the case as a homicide. Searches at her former property and a neighboring parcel involved cadaver dogs and excavations; some items of evidentiary value were recovered. The FBI assisted, and law enforcement has identified a person of interest who has reportedly become uncooperative. A Madison County Probate Judge has declared Jennifer legally deceased.

Jennifer’s family stresses she was a devoted mother who would not have voluntarily abandoned her three children; she was not present when one daughter later died of cancer. The case remains open. If anyone knew Jennifer, her routines, or saw anything around Granto Road in July 2008, does that information still exist to help the investigation?
