In March 2018, the life of 27-year-old Ebony Monique Giddens and her family was turned upside down when she vanished from her Columbus, Georgia, apartment on Montclair Drive. The last known contact with Ebony was a normal phone conversation with a relative on the night of March 11, 2018. The following morning, her brother arrived to take her two young sons to school, a daily routine, but there was no answer at the door. After repeated unanswered knocks and calls that went straight to voicemail, her five-year-old son opened the door and said his mother was gone. A search of the apartment revealed that while Ebony was missing, her purse, wallet, and keys were left behind in the living room; only her cell phone was gone. This discovery prompted her family to immediately report her missing to the Columbus Police Department.
The days leading up to Ebony's disappearance were fraught with turmoil. She had been involved in a domestic dispute with her boyfriend, Malcolm Jackson, and had expressed fear of him to her family. Just two days before she went missing, on March 10, she had called the police on Jackson, alleging that he had hit her in the face and threatened her with a gun. He was arrested for misdemeanor assault but was released on bond the same day. Despite Ebony telling him their relationship was over, he continued to contact her. Neighbors later reported seeing Jackson working on Ebony's car the day before she disappeared. The day after she was reported missing, Jackson was arrested again, this time on charges of aggravated stalking and felony probation violation.
Years have passed since Ebony Giddens was last seen, and her case remains unsolved, classified as a missing person under suspicious circumstances. Her family, tormented by her absence, has tirelessly sought answers, distributing flyers and offering a $10,000 reward for information that could lead to her whereabouts. While Malcolm Jackson was later convicted and sentenced to 35 years in prison for the assault and stalking charges from the days before her disappearance, he has never been charged in connection with her vanishing and was only named a person of interest. The Columbus Police Department has stated that the investigation is active and ongoing, but there have been no significant breakthroughs publicly announced. For Ebony's three sons and the rest of her family, the pain and uncertainty linger as they continue to hope for closure and to one day know what happened to their beloved mother, daughter, and sister.
