Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP23447) and 9 other sources
Deborah Ann Jessie, a 23-year-old woman from Pahokee, Florida, went missing on June 23, 2013. On the day of her disappearance, Deborah had been visiting the home of Crystal Anderson, a close friend who also babysat her children. The two women were supposed to attend church together, but Deborah was never seen again. Her SUV was later found abandoned at a golf center in Riviera Beach, just two miles from her workplace.

The situation took a darker turn when Crystal Anderson was discovered murdered in her home the following day. Deborah's ex-boyfriend, Jammy Washington, became a prime suspect in both cases. Deborah had recently filed for a domestic violence injunction against Washington, citing past abuse and threats. Just days before she was scheduled to appear in court regarding the injunction, she vanished under suspicious circumstances.

Washington was eventually arrested and charged with both Deborah's and Crystal's murders. In 2019, he was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. Despite this conviction, Deborah's body has never been found, and authorities suspect she may have been killed and her remains disposed of in the nearby sugar cane fields or canals. Foul play is strongly suspected, and her case remains open as authorities continue to seek answers.
