Jeanetta Lewis Lavalais, age 34, was last seen on the evening of July 5, 1997, in Hankamer, Texas. That night, her father dropped her off at an area known locally as "the cuts," a place where people gathered to socialize and drink. She was last seen walking down Speights Road around 10:00 p.m. and has not been heard from since. At the time of her disappearance, Jeanetta was living with her common-law husband and two grandchildren.

Jeanetta was described as being around 5'6" to 5'8" tall, weighing between 180 to 190 pounds, and having short black hair and brown eyes. She had multiple scars, including on her abdomen, ears, forearm, and wrist. On the day she vanished, she was wearing a red and white striped shirt, yellow shorts, and black flat shoes.

Her case remains unsolved, and foul play is suspected. Authorities continue to seek information that could provide clues to her whereabouts. Despite ongoing investigations, no significant leads have surfaced, and her family still hopes for answers. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact law enforcement to assist in resolving this case.
