A mysterious disappearance
On the evening of February 20, officers witnessed Jessica wandering the streets of Amsterdam in a confused state.
As a result, they took her to the Amsterdam UMC (University Medical Centre) to be monitored.
It’s assumed that Jessica ran away ‘out of fear’ before receiving medical attention on February 21.
Extensive searches were carried out for her in and around the Amsterdamse Bos; however, there has been no sighting of her over the past three weeks, until now.
