The Lubbock County Sheriff`s Office is searching for a 26-year-old woman, Jennifer Lynn Wilkerson, missing under suspicious circumstances, believed to be in danger. She was last seen Tuesday morning, July 13, 2004 in the 2400 block of 118th St. Her boyfriend told deputies that Wilkerson was driving home from that location and then to work at Nothin` Butt Smokes. Wilkerson made it home; however she did not report to work. She also never called her employer or picked up her last paycheck, the Sheriff`s Office said.
Her father, Jack Wilkerson of Hobbs, NM reported her missing Wednesday afternoon, after he failed to locate her. When sheriff`s deputies arrived at her home in South Lubbock County, they found Wilkerson`s car and two sets of house and car keys hanging on a hook just inside the door. Her roommate was also contacted, but said that he had not seen or heard from her. Jennifer was last seen wearing a red halter top, blue Capri pants and black flip-flops. She has several tattoos: a small ladybug on the right rear of her neck, a dragon that wraps around her right ankle, a red rose with a small snake wound around the stem on her upper left arm, a butterfly on her back, roses on her right wrist, a fish on her stomach, a tattoo around her left leg and she wears a lip ring.
Authorities believe Wilkerson is missing under suspicious circumstances and may be in danger, but they don't necessarily believe she's dead. Police are investigating her disappearance as a missing person/possible abduction. Her case is unsolved.
