Circumstances of Disappearance
Jessica Lee Ann Hamby was last seen on Jan. 2, 2018. Jessica and another young woman were in a detox center in Haleyville when they had a disagreement with someone there and left of their own free will. The other young woman dropped Jessica Hamby off at a house and then returned to her hometown of Cullman. No one has seen or heard from Jessica Hamby since then.
 
Wow, so heartbreaking to hear that he knows she’s no longer alive, and he feels he knows exactly who did it. The investigator passed away and the case went to the “back burner”
And Dad is mad that the people living at the property she was last seen have not been brought in for proper questioning yet several have failed lie detector tests.
Hoping for justice soon, her loved ones and babies deserve closure!
Unsolved missing persons case leaves family 'on a roller coaster ride from hell'

Details of Disappearance​

Hamby was last seen on January 3, 2018. She and another woman were in a detox program at Lakeland Community Hospital in Haleyville, Alabama when, on January 2, they left after a disagreement with someone there.

Her friend dropped her off at a residence on Elgin Cochran Road in Hackleburg, Alabama. She spent at least part of the night there. Three witnesses, Eric Edwards and siblings Alicia and Derek Motes, reported there was some kind of argument shortly after 6:00 a.m. on January 3, and Hamby left the house to watch the sunrise. She never returned.

The temperature that morning was only six degrees, and Hamby wasn't wearing a coat when she left the house. Her last phone communications were to Edwards while she was on his property that morning. At 7:51 a.m., she sent him a text saying, "Hey, they ain’t gonna shoot me for walking." She called his phone twice at 7:53 a.m. After that she was never heard from again.

Authorities stated the people who last saw Hamby had given inconsistent statements about the events leading up to her disappearance, and they have no evidence that she ever left Elgin Cochran Road. Multiple search warrants have been executed in her case, and Edwards and the Motes siblings have been given polygraphs, but no one has been charged.

Hamby left behind three children who live with her parents in Russellville, Alabama. Her parents stated she was a good mother; she put the children in their care while she got treatment for her drug problem, and visited them regularly. The circumstances of her disappearance are unclear.

So heartbreaking that Keith and his family can't get LE to do their job. I live near where Jessica lived. I rode up to Elgin Cochran road one day to see the area. Just a normal looking place from what I saw from the road. I'm friends with Jessica's sister on Facebook and I can tell you there's not a day that the family doesn't think about her, miss her, and grieve for her. What hurts them the most is basically knowing the who but not the where. I can tell you that the way things go in that area of the state, you don't want to cross the wrong people, as the corruption runs deep. I hope that justice is served one day but I don't think those degenerates will ever confess, and we know that Hamilton, Marion, or Haleyville aren't willing to do their damn jobs and get her case solved.
