Jessie Barnes was 28 when she was last seen on July 7, 2000, at a family member’s home in the 800 block of Little Street in West Point, Mississippi. Known to have a mental disability and the mental capacity of a child, Jessie had trouble remembering names and numbers and was described as trusting. A man reportedly threatened her with a knife shortly before her disappearance, but it is unclear whether that incident is connected to her going missing.

Her family reported her missing ten days later after she failed to attend her grandmother’s funeral, which was highly out of character. Jessie left behind a young daughter. No significant leads have emerged and the West Point Police Department continues to seek information that could help locate her.

If anyone knew Jessie, had contact with her around July 2000, or remembers seeing her in West Point, please share what you know.
