Jillian Mae Clayton, 40, was found dead near her home in Morehead, Kentucky, on December 11, 2020. A Morehead State University graduate who worked as a private caregiver, she was last seen on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2020, with her boyfriend, Gary Jefferies. Family members became concerned when Jefferies attended Thanksgiving dinner alone and said Clayton was sick; her prepared holiday food plus her phone, purse, and keys were later found at her residence.

Friends searching for her located her body in a remote area less than two miles from her home. An autopsy determined she died from a single gunshot wound. After her body was discovered, Gary Jefferies was arrested and charged with murder, abuse of a corpse, and tampering with physical evidence; reports say he had driven to Louisville shortly after Thanksgiving and was arrested there four days after Clayton’s disappearance, initially on a charge of being a felon in possession of a handgun.

Did anyone in the Morehead area see Jill or her car around Thanksgiving week, or have information about movements to Louisville after November 26?
