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
of the Valley Roadrunner, a weekly newspaper published in Valley Center, that Jett disappeared in December 2023.
Recently, the neighbor wrote, squatters have been living on Jett’s property and causing disturbances that have prompted visits by sheriff’s deputies.
