Jennifer Mae Enyart was 16 when she disappeared from Tacoma, Washington, on September 21, 2000. Earlier that summer she had run away from the family home in Spokane and was found by police in Seattle; while being returned to Spokane by her parents, the family stopped at a gas station at 56th and Tacoma Mall Boulevard. Jennifer exited the vehicle there and ran off. She was last seen wearing a blue and white striped outfit.

When located in Seattle in August 2000, police contact was linked to sex work, and her parents drove to retrieve her. According to some accounts, just before she ran from the car in Tacoma she told her mother she loved her but couldn’t go back. The last known contact after that was a phone call in January 2001, when Jennifer told her mother she planned to go to California. Investigators have at times considered the possibility she traveled to Florida and that she may have used the name Rochelle Smith or the surname Smith.

Her case remains open. Can anyone who knew Jennifer, saw her in Tacoma that day, or who has information about the names Rochelle Smith or Smith contact authorities?
