Jessica Foster, a 21-year-old Canadian woman, was last in contact with her family on March 28, 2006, from her home in North Las Vegas, Nevada, where she lived with her boyfriend. Originally from British Columbia, Canada, Jessica, affectionately known as Jessie, had moved to Las Vegas in May 2005. During a visit home for Christmas in 2005, her family noticed a change in her demeanor; her once-vibrant personality seemed diminished, which raised their concerns. The last time her family spoke with her, they made plans to talk again the next day, but that call never came, and she has not been heard from since.
After her disappearance, a more troubling picture of Jessica's life in Las Vegas began to emerge. Her family learned that the man she was living with was not who he claimed to be. Instead of being a wealthy individual from a trust fund, he was known to be a violent pimp. Investigations by a private investigator hired by her family revealed that Jessica had been forced into the escort business. During her last conversation with her sister, Jessica mentioned that she was planning to leave her boyfriend and believed he was aware of her intentions. It was also discovered that she had been arrested for solicitation and had suffered a broken jaw. These revelations have led her family to believe she was a victim of human trafficking.
The investigation into Jessica's disappearance has spanned nearly two decades, yet no one has been charged in connection with her case. The North Las Vegas Police Department has investigated individuals, but no evidence of foul play was found at the property of one person of interest. Her case is one of four involving sex workers who went missing in the Las Vegas area between 2003 and 2006; the other three women were found deceased. Over the years, potential links to other cases have been explored, including a man killed in West Virginia who was suspected in other Las Vegas killings. Jessica's mother has become a vocal advocate for victims of human trafficking, creating websites to raise awareness about her daughter's case and working with various agencies in the hope of finding answers. The case remains open, and her family continues their search for the truth about what happened to her.
