Have you seen Jahessye Shockley?
Authorities firmly believe that the child's body is in a landfill south of
the Phoenix, AZ area, and they are now deciding whether to search for her.
Decomposition will present a challenge to the search effort, Glendale Police Sgt. Brent Coombs
said, making it difficult to pinpoint Jahessye’s exact location.
Police say the child's mother, Jerice Hunter has been uncooperative in the investigation, and that
she has refused to take a lie detector test. Hunter maintains her
innocence.
About six months before Jahessye disappeared, Hunter was investigated
by state Child Protective Services, but police found no signs of abuse. The mother had previously served about four years in prison for child abuse
charges in California stemming back to a 2005 arrest. She was released
on parole last May.
Please contact Phoenix. Arizona police if you have information.
