According to Glendene, Donald called Jessie again a few weeks later and asked her to go with him to New York City and then to Atlantic City, New Jersey. Glendene said she had a bad feeling about the trip and questioned her about it, but due to her age there was little they could do to stop her from going.
"She was to go to these places and fly back home, but for some reason, her trip got changed and she ended up going to Las Vegas, Nevada, arriving there on May 13, 2005. After arriving she called us and said she had decided to go there to visit a friend she knew there. That friend was dating a man who introduced Jessie to another man named Peter."
Peter and Jessie allegedly got engaged and lived together in a 3.4 million dollar home in North Las Vegas. Over the course of the next year, unbeknownst to her family, Jessie racked up several arrests for prostitution and at one point was beaten so severely that she had to be hospitalized. In the spring of 2006 Jessie stopped calling home, and her family began to fear something had happened to her. The family got in touch with Peter, who allegedly told them that Jessie had left him in April 2006. Concerned, Glendene reported her daughter missing to the North Las Vegas Police Department and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who later moved her case to the Serious Crimes Department. Nonetheless, there were few clues to follow, and the case quickly grew cold.
Jessie's parents are currently waiting for DNA samples they submitted to be compared to DNA collected from the body of a Jane Doe who was recently found in Kilgore, Gregg County, TX.
"We have been waiting since January for these results. Something that made the authorities look at Jessie as the possible Jane Doe was not only the fact that her facial features greatly resembled the Jane Doe, but there is a house in The Colony, TX that Peter is connected to, and Jane Doe was found not far from there."
