Jesokah Adkens, 17, disappeared from Sooke, British Columbia, on the evening of September 26, 2001. She was last seen at about 9:30 p.m. near a bus stop at Sooke Road and Idlemore Road after having dinner with a male friend and was waiting for a short, two-kilometre bus ride home. She stood 5 feet 5 inches, with a slender build, long blonde hair and blue eyes, and wore a black bomber-style jacket over a Doors t-shirt, blue jeans and black running shoes.

Jesokah had recently moved into an apartment with a roommate but stayed close to her parents and brothers. Her six-month-old German Shepherd puppy, Daphne, and her backpack and identification were left at home; her bank account showed no withdrawals. The family reported her missing after she failed to make contact and was not at her apartment. Searches involving ground crews, a helicopter and a dive team found no trace. The bus driver that night did not recall seeing her, and there were reports she sometimes hitchhiked, a practice her parents discouraged.

The Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit later took over the investigation and pursued hundreds of leads without resolution. A faded memorial marks the spot where she was last seen and family and community members remain hopeful for answers. If anyone knew Jesokah, saw her that night, or has information, please come forward.
