Jessica Johnson was 13 when she ran away from a group home in Fairfield, California, and was last seen on August 22, 1997. She left the facility with another teenage girl; the other girl was later found but Jessica has not been located. She was described as a 5 feet tall African American girl, about 100 pounds, wearing blue sweats, a white shirt, and a green sweatshirt when she disappeared.

Authorities initially treated the case as a runaway but grew concerned as no trace of Jessica surfaced and no confirmed contact was reported. Few clues have emerged and the circumstances after she left the group home remain unclear. Her case is still open and the family continues to seek answers.

If anyone has information about Jessica’s whereabouts or remembers seeing her after August 22, 1997, please contact the Fairfield Police Department.
