Officials say Natalie Jones drove from Heard County, Georgia to Jackson's Gap, Alabama to celebrate the Fourth of July with friends.

She left around midnight on July 5 to make the hour and a half or so drive back home.

According to Lt. Danny Boswell with the Heard County Sheriff's Office, Jones' phone last pinged in Heard County, but it doesn't necessarily mean that's where she is.

Also from the article : Jones was diagnosed as bipolar and schizophrenic and is not on her medication.

Authorities in Heard County looking for 27-year-old woman last seen in eastern Alabama

I noticed all other links give a missing date of July 5, not May 5. NamUs is only one giving May date.
A July date would make more sense (firework pattern nails)

I’ll alert Mods.

missing since Sunday, July 5.

An earlier version of this story included information from the sheriff's office about a mental health diagnosis that family says is inaccurate.
Other links may also state info about mental illness, however family has confirmed this is not true.

Jones left the friends’ home around 11:30pm AL time. She was offered to a place to stay there instead of driving late but stated she had something to do the following day (Sun).

After about 1 hour 15 mins, she sent a text to those friends saying “I made it.”
That is about the time it would take to get from Jackson’s Gap to home, but she hadn’t made it home.
LE know Jones made a phone call as she travelled over the GA state line.
There were texts sent when she was in Heard County and northern Troup County.
However, her phone then pinged from a Franklin tower.

Update from Natalie's Family, July 25th

Update on July 25:
Because we are on Day 21 with no updates or substantial information, we have decided to start from the last place she was SEEN and retrace her steps. In order to find Natalie, we are going to start ruling OUT places. We know for a FACT that she was last SEEN in Jackson’s Gap, AL. Today Lake Martin was searched by the sweetest game warden and his team and no sign of Natalie was found. Next (with the approval of authorities) we will be flying helicopters over those three alternate routes back to Heard County and checking surveillance on the way to make 100% SURE she left Alabama. Then we will go from there once that is confirmed. Unfortunately, that is only the update I have at this point. And time is of the essence So pray for us please! Pray for my sweet sister.

There’s another thread created for Natalie.
When I came across her info in NamUs, they had her missing date May 5. May be partly why duplicate threads were created.
I notified mods for an edit to missing date in thread title.
I will go back & report to mods about duplicate thread also!
Maybe we can get them merged & with the combined info find something useful to help with these case!

 

[mlhenn]

I found a duplicate thread for Natalie. I reported to mods so hopefully we can merge the two together.

EDIT: Mods merged the two!

I live in Alabama and I have heard nothing about this anywhere but here. Sad and scary. Prayers for her safe return.

Frequently Asked Questions, Answered.

Under “The Search” section:
Many volunteers have scoured the roads leading from Jacksons Gap to the Franklin area where she lived. Unfortunately, some situations have occurred where volunteers have trespassed onto private property. The family highly discourages this. While every attempt to locate Natalie is very much appreciated, the family ask that no one breaks the law or assumes things about individuals while doing so.
