Jasmine Michelle Cruz was last seen on April 1, 2016, in Deep Water, West Virginia. She was 30 years old at the time. That day, Jasmine left her mother’s home after an argument, heading off on foot toward the nearby woods and the water. Witnesses later reported seeing her run into the trees but after that moment, she was never seen again.
Jasmine’s disappearance was deeply out of character, and her family and friends quickly grew worried when she didn’t come back or reach out. Despite extensive searches of the area, no sign of her has ever been found.
Investigators have kept her case open, and while the full circumstances remain unclear, the hope for answers has never faded.
