Geraldine Myers Missing Person Case

Geraldine Atha Myers, aged 81, was last seen on May 13, 2001, at her home in Riverside, California. That evening, she had spent time with her son celebrating Mother's Day. Myers was known to have high blood pressure and had suffered several strokes in the past, requiring regular medication. Two days after her disappearance, her family contacted the police when they were unable to reach her.

Upon investigation, authorities discovered several suspicious elements at Myers' home, including a large bleach stain and missing money, though her purse and wallet were left behind. Her car, a 1983 Toyota Corolla, was also missing and later found in Las Vegas, Nevada, being driven by a teenager who claimed to have found it abandoned. Blood evidence in the vehicle suggested foul play.

Bailey Lamar Jackson Jr., a parolee living in the same neighborhood, was later arrested for robbing and attempting to murder another elderly woman nearby. He was eventually convicted for the robbery and murder of Myers in 2004, based on his own confessions and other evidence. Despite his conviction, Myers' body has never been found, though foul play is strongly suspected. Jackson was sentenced to death for his crimes.
