Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP22793) and 6 other sources
Winnie Janette Kersey was last seen on December 3, 1982, in Jacksonville, Florida, when she was 27 years old. On that day, she vanished without a trace, and her disappearance has since been classified as "missing".

Winnie is described as a Caucasian female, approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing around 140 pounds. She has blonde or strawberry-colored hair and blue eyes. Distinguishing marks include a scar on her neck from a childhood injury. Despite the years that have passed, very few details surrounding her case have emerged, and she has not been heard from since her disappearance.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office is actively investigating her case, urging anyone with information to come forward. This long-unsolved case remains a point of concern for her family and the community, as they seek answers regarding her whereabouts.
