Ieshia Nicole Jackson, a 22-year-old woman from El Dorado, Arkansas, was reported missing following a disappearance at approximately 9:00 p.m. on November 4, 2020, when she was reportedly dropped off at her home after a trip to Houston, Texas, with a relative. Family members say Jackson had attended a Halloween party with friends at a nightclub in Camden, Arkansas, on October 31, 2020, days before she was reported missing. Jackson's mother said she was unable to reach her daughter by phone in the days that followed and, on November 2, 2020, found the door to Jackson's apartment standing open; Jackson's cell phone, wallet or purse, and a duffle bag had been left inside, but Jackson was not there. At the time of her disappearance, Jackson did not own a vehicle or hold a driver's license. She was last reported wearing a white t-shirt with red markings, a short black skirt, and black patterned tights.
In December 2020, two men were taken into custody in connection with the case. Semajee Dismuke, who had previously been in a relationship with Jackson, was arrested on suspicion of capital murder, kidnapping, and an enhanced penalty for engaging in criminal group activity. Dismuke was released in February 2021 after prosecutors did not file formal charges within the legally required 60-day window, and authorities have not said whether he remains a suspect. Dismuke was separately convicted in 2023 in an unrelated criminal case. Kenneth Earl Lee was charged with extortion or theft of property after allegedly soliciting $8,000 from Jackson's family in exchange for information about her whereabouts; investigators have said they do not believe Lee is connected to Jackson's disappearance. Jackson remains missing. A $10,000 reward is being offered for information leading to her location and the prosecution of those responsible.
