Jacqueline Watts dropped off her pets with her parents, set to fly to DC. Just hours later, her car was found running with the emergency flashers on in Columbus, Indiana and she was declared missing.
Police found Watts’s car running with the passenger door open near a wooded area in Columbus, which is an hour drive outside Indianapolis. Her purse and cellphone were inside the vehicle and the emergency flashers were on.
Columbus Police searched the area near where her car was found and held a press conference Saturday morning. Officers looked over the area overnight and reached out to the Louisville Metropolitan police department to search with a helicopter.
The investigation is ongoing and the police spokesman urged the public to not jump to conclusions or post rumors on social media, apparently in reference to the unsubstantiated
rumor about a bloodied woman walking out of the woods.
This also may have been in reference to rumors surrounding the two teens who were found murdered along Deer Creek in Delphi, which is about an hour north of Indianapolis. Police confirmed there have not been any arrests in this case.
