Jessica Michelle Lowery, 25, disappeared in the pre-dawn hours of December 20, 2005, after walking away from her residence near the 700 block of Bolinger Avenue in Lumberton, North Carolina. She was last seen on foot along Beam Road in Robeson County at about 3:00 a.m., wearing a black and white Harley Davidson jacket, a black shirt, blue jeans, and black Reebok athletic shoes.

Known to family as Shell, she was a mother of three. Jessica is 5 feet 0 inches tall, about 135 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Distinguishing features include pierced ears, a tattoo of a long-stemmed rose with two leaves on each side of the stem on her outer left ankle, and some reports note crooked lower teeth. Both her primary residence and the location she left were on tribal land.

The Robeson County Sheriff’s Office led the investigation, which produced very few leads and has grown cold; the circumstances of her disappearance remain officially unknown. If anyone knew Jessica, her routines, or was in that area on December 20, 2005, please share what might help bring her family answers.
