On April 4, 2021, 27-year-old Jordan Elaine Smith, also known as Jordan Barbee, was last seen in the Falcon Chase Subdivision of Concord, North Carolina. A mother, her absence sparked a years-long search filled with both hope and anguish for her family. Described as being five feet five inches tall, weighing between 120 and 150 pounds, with blonde hair and brown eyes, Jordan has several distinct tattoos.
These include a cheetah print on her right shoulder and arm that incorporates a gun, a large chest tattoo of her son's name, 'Kohyn,' with a crown over the 'K,' and the word 'Sterling' with a red heart on the back of her neck.
The details surrounding Jordan's disappearance remain unclear. While her last confirmed location was in Concord, there are reports that she was staying at a hotel in the nearby city of Kannapolis. A friend reported that Jordan left a QT convenience store at Cloverleaf Plaza in Kannapolis/Concord with a short, heavyset Caucasian male. Her mother, Tracie Barbee, last saw her on Easter of 2021 and noted that her daughter was not in a good place. Jordan had been struggling with addiction, a battle that intensified in the years leading up to her disappearance.
The investigation into Jordan's whereabouts has been an arduous one for both her family and the Concord Police Department. Leads have been pursued in Concord, Kannapolis, Salisbury, and Charlotte, but have not yet yielded any definitive answers. Frustrated with the pace of the official investigation, Jordan's mother hired a private investigator and has actively followed up on tips received through social media and phone calls. The family has made public pleas for information, holding gatherings and maintaining a social media presence to keep Jordan's story alive. In a distressing turn of events, individuals have attempted to impersonate Jordan to extort money from her family. This case is an overview of the heartbreaking and unresolved disappearance of a young mother, leaving her family, especially her young son, with unanswered questions and an enduring hope for her return.Last Seen: Apr 4, 2021
