Very few details are available about the case involving Venessa Jones. The last time anyone saw or heard from 45-year-old was on April 5, 2009.

According to reports, Venessa was in Warren, Ohio when she went missing. However, like many of the other cases I’ve written about here, the circumstances surround her disappearance are unknown. Her family life, work-life, personal relationships, and any other details about Venessa haven’t been made public. Additionally, I could only find one small, blurry photo of Venessa Jones and it doesn’t show much of what she looked like in 2009.

At the time of her disappearance, Venessa Jones stood 5 feet 4 inches tall and 165 pounds. She had black/dark brown hair and brown eyes. Her hair was reportedly short and may be styled in braids. Venessa was last seen wearing a du-rag that may be red. Venessa would be 57-years-old at the time of this publication.

Please share this story about Venessa Jones in order to reignite the investigation into her missing person case. She is our sister and her life matters.

03/16/2021: Please read the update to this case here.

Eighteen years after she was first reported missing, the remains of Tyesha Bell have been located. I shared Tyesha’s story back in June 2020, explaining that in May 2003, Tyesha was living with her sister when she went outside of their Aurora, Illinois home to take a phone call and never returned. Initially, there weren’t panicked concerns but when none of the 22-year-old’s loved ones could get into contact with her throughout the day, Tyesha’s family contacted the authorities. (more…)
