It is almost 4 years since the disappearance of Jayme Bowen. I have scoured the internet and the information is very limited with discrepancies. There is mention that she disappeared at night, while also others state daytime. I think the best consensus is that she disappeared during the day. I think that is also why this disappearance boggles the mind for so many. Personally, she knew whomever she encountered after leaving her sister's house. Where it went from there, is complete speculation obviously until someone finally comes forward with relevant information.
The most information I was able to pull on her was by visiting her Facebook -
https://www.facebook.com/bowen.jayme - Her mother has been using the account since her daughter disappeared, so I reviewed everything prior to the last official entry made by Jayme, which was March 24, 2014.
Interesting information I pulled from going through her FB:
There is no doubt Jayme loved her children. With constant status updates and photos of how much she loved her boys, it is not even a question. The father of her second son, was killed on July 15, 2012. Apparently he had a gun and was shot by police. -
http://www.dispatch.com/article/20120716/NEWS/307169771 - She mentions a few times on her status updates as wanting justice for him as he was "cooperating" at the time he was shot. She mentions it went to the grand jury and it was deemed "justified." She was obviously very upset by this.
By August 2013, she is in another relationship with D. It appears to last until the end of December 2013. As early as December 16, 2013, Jayme mentions being clean and this resonates through her updates until the holidays.
She then gets into a relationship with R, whom she mentions she was with prior to him being jailed and is excited to have him home in mid-February 2014.
She has several FB status updates that include the mention of the death of a friend. This isn't isolated and speaks to the rough atmosphere she was living within. Her brother at this time is also in jail as she posted updates and photos of him.
She mentions God, Angels and Heaven many times and appears to have faith. She obviously has a kind heart and wanted to be loved. Her mother and her sister are mentioned as her best friends.
Questions/Thoughts I Have:
The documentary, "Gone," in which she was featured has her sister mentioning they were doing drugs prior to her leaving the residence to go home. I question the accuracy of the time frame considering the impairment involved while doing drugs. It also makes me wonder how much she would have wanted to go home "impaired" considering she had been clean at least by the end of 2013.
There was also mention of a "trap house" along the route she would have traveled had she been going to her parents' home. The individual involved is a known criminal who is currently in prison. My question would be why more pressure hasn't been put on this person considering he is still in the system regarding his knowledge of what happened to Jayme.
As often occurs with those involved in drugs, debt can come into play. I would make the assumption that this plays a part in the family's belief she is being trafficked. I see there are a couple mentions of sightings throughout the 4 years, but nothing that amounts to anything.
Regardless of the mistakes she made, she deserves to be found. She has so many that still rally for her safe return. More than one person knows about what happened to her. It only takes one reliable tip to change everything.....
