Stephanie Celeste Jones was 21 when she disappeared from Vancouver, Washington, after attending a party with her 24-year-old boyfriend, Avreaunte Emmanuel Bennett, on the evening of August 7, 2021. Witnesses and a video call with her best friend show the couple heavily intoxicated and arguing that night; the call ended abruptly when Bennett told Stephanie to call back. That was the last confirmed sighting of her alive.

Her body was found on August 13, 2021, in bushes near the westbound onramp to Interstate 84 from Rooster Rock State Park in the Columbia River Gorge, east of Portland, Oregon. An autopsy determined she died of a gunshot wound to the head and investigators treated the death as a homicide. Cellphone data and surveillance placed Bennett’s phone and a car matching his Toyota Prius in locations tied to the case, and court records say he admitted to killing Stephanie during a struggle over a gun. He was arrested in January 2022 and charged in Clark County, Washington.

Did anyone who knew Stephanie or saw her around August 7 have details that might help clarify what happened that night?
