Jessica Brooke Groover, 35, disappeared from the Harriman, Tennessee area in late summer 2019; the official last-contact date is listed as August 31, 2019, though the exact day she was last seen is estimated. She was known to frequent the Little Emory Road and Webster Road area and the Little Emory Boating/Fishing Dock park.
At the time she vanished Jessica was described as a white female with sandy brown hair and brown eyes, five feet six inches tall and weighing 110 to 120 pounds. She had an ankle tattoo with the name Angelina and went by her middle name, Brooke. The case was reported to the Roane County Sheriff’s Office on November 4, 2019, and she was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System in January 2020.
Investigators later named a man described as Jessica’s ex-boyfriend, Lonnie Wright, as a person of interest. Her family continued seeking answers after her father, Steve Groover, who had been searching for her, was killed in 2022 in the same home where Jessica was last seen by her sister. The circumstances of Jessica’s disappearance remain unresolved.
If anyone knew Jessica’s movements in the Harriman area or has information about her disappearance, please come forward.
