Jasmine Host, a 29-year-old woman, was last seen at her residence on Noccalula Drive in Gadsden, Alabama, on September 15, 2017. At the time of her disappearance, she lived with her husband, Mark Host, a roommate named Rachel Sears, and several young children. The family was in the process of relocating to Dawson Springs, Kentucky, and Jasmine vanished the night before the planned final move. According to her roommate, when the household awoke to leave for Kentucky, Jasmine was gone. She has not been seen or heard from since that time. Her relationship with her husband was reportedly volatile.
At the time she went missing, Jasmine was described as a Black female with black hair and brown eyes, standing 5'6' tall and weighing around 145 pounds. It is possible her head was shaved and she may have been wearing a long black wig. What she was wearing on the day she disappeared is unknown. Jasmine’s parents, Rena and Billy Calloway, have been searching for their daughter for years. They recall her as a shy but friendly person who enjoyed softball and playing in her high school band. The last time her parents saw her was in September 2017, when they accompanied law enforcement to her home to see her in person, an encounter that was brief and chaperoned by her roommate.
The circumstances surrounding Jasmine Host's disappearance remain unclear and few details about the investigation have been made public. In a significant development in 2021, both Mark Host and Rachel Sears were arrested in Dawson Springs, Kentucky, as fugitives from Alabama and were extradited to face charges of rape and sexual abuse in Etowah County. While it is not publicly known if these charges are connected to Jasmine's case, this turn of events added another layer of complexity to the investigation. Law enforcement has sought help from the public, and a reward has been offered for information that could lead to locating Jasmine. The case is an active and ongoing missing person investigation, characterized by a lack of clear evidence regarding what happened to Jasmine on the night she was last seen.
