On a winter morning in Aztec, New Mexico, 28-year-old Janson Franklinda Secody prepared to leave for work on January 11, 2011. According to her boyfriend, the only person to report seeing her that day, she left their residence on foot. She was dressed for the cold weather, wearing a black jacket over a red one, beige pants, brown snow boots, and a sky-blue beanie. This seemingly ordinary departure would be the last time anyone has reported seeing or hearing from Janson.
Her intended journey to her workplace marked the beginning of a long and sorrowful mystery for her loved ones and community.
When Janson did not come home, her boyfriend reported her missing to the San Juan County Sheriff's Office. An investigation was launched, but details surrounding her disappearance were scarce from the very beginning. She had simply vanished on her walk to work, leaving no apparent trace. Investigators were faced with a lack of witnesses and physical evidence, which made progress exceptionally difficult. As days turned into years, the absence of new information or leads caused her case to be considered cold. The limited media coverage has also been a challenge, leaving her story largely unknown to the wider public.
At the time she went missing, Janson was described as a Native American woman with black hair and brown eyes, standing five feet six inches tall and weighing around 230 pounds. For over a decade, there have been no confirmed sightings or communications from her. The official investigation remains open, with the San Juan County Sheriff's Office holding the case file. The case is a painful example of an unresolved disappearance; a young woman who left for work one morning and was never seen again, leaving behind a painful void and a case with very few available details.Last Seen: Jan 11, 2011
