Jessica Lynn Joiner, 34, was shot and killed on April 2, 2022, in rural Madison County near Collinsville, Illinois. She had traveled from Altadena, California, to help her younger sister Jamie move out of the home she shared with her boyfriend, Adam Cobb. Authorities say Cobb, 32, fatally shot both Jessica and Jamie outside the residence around 10:30 a.m. while Jamie was preparing to leave. Dispatchers reportedly heard a woman screaming on a 911 call moments before gunfire.

After the shootings law enforcement issued a regional alert for Cobb’s vehicle. Officers located the car in Montgomery County and pursued it for about 40 minutes until it became partially disabled on U.S. Route 51 in Christian County. When a state trooper confronted Cobb, he pointed a firearm at the trooper and was shot; he was taken to a hospital with serious, life-threatening injuries.

Jessica worked as an administrative assistant for the Valley County Water District in California and was married in 2018 to Eric David Escott. She is survived by her husband and stepchildren Hazel Jane Escott and Atticus Walter Escott. Does anyone have information about Jessica or Jamie’s last known movements or the hours leading up to April 2, 2022?
