Details of Disappearance
Sandra was last seen on November 16, 1996 with her son, John. The two were leaving a relative's home in the vicinity of the 1100 block of University Drive in Bismarck, North Dakota. They were riding in Sandra's car, a gray 1990 Honda Civic, and planned to purchase gasoline and then return to the residence. The Jacobsons did purchase fuel, but they never returned and neither have ever been heard from again. Sandra's car was found abandoned the next day, at the Centennial Beach parking lot near to the Missouri River in Bismarck. There was no sign of John or Sandra at the scene. The driver's side door of the car was open, the keys were in the ignition, and Sandra's purse was sitting on the front seat, its contents undisturbed. Police searched the beach and the river and found a shoe that might have belonged to John. Sandra had been showing signs of mental illness prior to her disappearance and had agreed to seek treatment. Authorities believe she may have taken John and jumped into the river. Sandra was separated from her husband, John's father, at the time she and John vanished. Police say there is no evidence pointing to foul play in John and Sandra's cases, and they have never had a suspect. There was a possible sighting of Sandra and John in Warroad, Minnesota in June 2004, but this has not been confirmed. Sandra and John's cases remain unsolved. They were declared dead sometime after their disappearances.

Today is the 15th anniversary of Sandra & her son John disappearing from Bismarck, North Dakota. Growing up in that part of the country, this is a case that hits close to home for me.

Sandra's son, Spencer, has set up a website:

Such a sad story... He's experienced the tragedy of his father being murdered, which is also unsolved, and his mom Sandra & his brother John disappearing. In 2009, Spencer lost his wife to a rare form of strep. I just cannot imagine what he has been through. Let's hope Sandra & John will come home to Spencer and his three young daughters!
