She logged into Facebook.Then she logged off — and never came home.Hours later, investigators would discover her Facebook account had been accessed again — this time from a private residence outside town on Cemetery Road. The man who lived there admitted Jalesa had been at his home that afternoon. He told investigators she left sometime between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m.She was never seen again.In this episode, we examine the timeline of Jalesa’s disappearance, the digital trail that led investigators to a rural property outside town, the multi-agency search efforts that began almost immediately after she was reported missing, and the unanswered questions that remain more than a decade later.Jalesa was known to be quiet, routine-oriented, and closely connected to her family. She did not have a car. She did not have a cellphone.
