Jamie Christine Grossman, a 24-year-old mother of two, vanished in early 2012 from Lockwood, Montana, under circumstances that remain unclear and fraught with conflicting information. While official missing person records often cite January 12, 2012, as the date she was last seen, other accounts provide a more detailed narrative surrounding events in March of that year. Grossman, a 2005 graduate of Billings Senior High School, resided in Billings at the time of her disappearance and was a mother to two young daughters. The Billings Police Department is the investigating agency in her case.
The more detailed timeline of Grossman's disappearance places her at a birthday party in Lockwood on the night of March 16, 2012. According to reports, when other party guests awoke the following morning, Grossman was gone and has not been seen or heard from since.
There are differing accounts of the end of the evening; one witness stated that Grossman and her boyfriend, Frank Hammontree, left the party together in good spirits shortly before 2:00 a.m. However, another version of events suggests that the other partygoers simply discovered she was missing when they woke up.
Following her disappearance, Grossman's boyfriend, Frank Hammontree, provided an account of the morning of March 17, 2012, that has been contradicted by evidence. He claimed to have taken her to a convenience store for coffee and cigarettes before dropping her off for a visitation with her daughter. However, a review of the store's surveillance footage did not show Grossman, Hammontree, or the vehicle he described. It was Hammontree who initially reported her as missing to her family.
Further complicating the investigation, it was discovered that someone had used Jamie Grossman's identification at a local pawn shop after she was last seen. Investigators were able to lift a fingerprint from the pawn ticket, but it did not belong to Grossman. In the months following her disappearance, rumors began to circulate that she was deceased, which prompted her family to press for her to be officially listed as a missing person in June 2012. Despite the passage of time, few definitive details have emerged in her case, leaving her family without answers.Last Seen: Jan 12, 2012
