Sheriff’s officials did not disclose how long Jett is believed to have been missing. A neighbor of hers, however, stated in a July 2
letter to the editor

Recently, the neighbor wrote, squatters have been living on Jett’s property and causing disturbances that have prompted visits by sheriff’s deputies.
