Missing and Murdered in Georgia, USA

Jenna Van Gelderen went missing on August 18/19 of 2017 from Atlanta, Georgia. She has now been missing for about three years. Please help her family find her. If you have any information at all that could help, please call the GBI at 1-800-597-8477. She was 25 at the time she went missing. She has brown eyes and brown hair. She is 4'11" and 140 pounds. She is a white female with pierced ears.

* In the podcast I stated it was Sunday morning she went missing, it was Saturday morning. She was house sitting for her parents and it was Friday night and early Saturday morning when she was last seen and heard from. 

* The Egyptian tapestry that was taken from her parent's home was in a glass case. I read somewhere that the glass might have been cut to get to the tapestry rather than it being taken down and removed from the back. I am not sure how the tapestry was gotten out of the case due to differing reports. But the tapestry is still missing and you can see pictures of it online to get a better idea of what it looked like. 

No family member was safe around her if they had money or life insurance, or owned anything that she wanted, not even her own daughters.
