On September 2, 2016, 40-year-old Janell Farley Massey was last seen at a Chevron gas station located at the intersection of Highway 5 and Highway 195 in Jasper, Alabama. This location marks the final confirmed sighting of Janell, and since that day, she has not been seen or heard from. Her disappearance has left her family, friends, and the local community searching for answers.
Janell was described as a white female with red/auburn hair and green eyes, standing approximately 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing around 115 pounds. She had distinctive features, including heavily freckled skin and several tattoos: a bull on her calf, the phrase "I love you" on her calf, and a sun and moon on her left shoulder. At the time of her disappearance, Janell was residing in a residential home for women in Jasper, Alabama. She was married but had recently separated from her husband prior to moving into the home.
Janell's disappearance was not immediately reported. It wasn't until December 28, 2016, nearly four months later, that she was officially reported missing to the Jasper Police Department.
