On the night of January 2, 2018, Jessica Leeann Hamby and another woman checked out of a detox facility in the rural Alabama town of Haleyville.  She caught a ride to another town to stay with a childhood friend.  Over the next 9 hours, Jessica spent much of her time sending texts and messages to friends and acquaintances via Facebook Messenger in search of a ride.  Her ride never came and all the activity on Jessica’s phone came to an abrupt halt.  Jessica has never been reported to be seen again and the large group of people with her all night have lied and changed their stories repeatedly.  What happened to Jessica?  Some of her last messages reveal that Jessica had a secret and was scared.  Join me, private investigator Michael Fleming with Echo 7 Foxtrot Private Investigations and special guest, private investigator Jeff Means with Sound Mind Investigations, as we investigate what really happened to Jessica.

It seems that the offices of the Walker County District Attorney, the Walker County Coroner's Office, the Walker County Sheriff's Office and the Alabama State Fire Marshal's Office all had just a fraction of Eric Cates' autopsy for almost 5 years and no one noticed.  How is it possible for this to happen and when will they begin an official investigation into how this occurred?  It seems there is a lack of accountability and transparency to the people of Walker County who voted most of these people into the offices they hold.
