In the spring of 2008, a 19-year-old Native American woman named Jascie Kara Kaywaykla was looking forward to a new beginning. On April 7, 2008, in Lawton, Oklahoma, Jascie was scheduled for a job orientation at a local K-Mart. Her sister gave her a ride, dropping her off in the parking lot of the store located at 38th and Cache Road. This was the last confirmed sighting of Jascie. When a family member returned to pick her up later that day, she was nowhere to be found. It remains unknown if she ever made it inside for her orientation. From that moment on, the bright future she was embarking upon was tragically replaced by a void of unanswered questions and a family left in agonizing uncertainty. Jascie, who was also known by her nickname "Hope," was a member of the Comanche Nation. Described as being between 5'3" and 5'5" tall and weighing around 115 to 125 pounds, she had brown eyes and dark brown hair, which she sometimes dyed blonde or dirty blonde. A distinguishing feature was a scar on her forehead from a car accident in her childhood. Her family and friends remember her as a young woman with connections to her community and close ties to her sister. The lack of information about what happened after she was dropped off at the K-Mart has been a source of immense pain for her loved ones. The years that have passed since Jascie's disappearance have been marked by a continuous and heartfelt search for answers. Her family has worked with organizations such as the Southwest Oklahoma chapter of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) to raise awareness about her case and the broader issue of violence against Indigenous people. They have held yearly vigils on the anniversary of her disappearance to keep her memory alive in the public consciousness. Despite these efforts, and the submission of DNA and fingerprint information to law enforcement databases, her case remains unsolved. The Lawton Police Department continues to list her as a missing person, and her loved ones hold onto hope that one day they will have answers about what happened to Jascie.
