Video posted to social media
by the Valley Roadrunner, a weekly newspaper published in Valley Center, showed multiple vehicles entering Jett’s roughly 20-acre residential property early on Wednesday, with searchers seen combing the grounds nearby later in the day.
Sheriff’s officials did not disclose how long Jett is believed to have been missing. A neighbor of hers, however, stated in
a letter to the Roadrunner’s editor
that Jett had disappeared in December 2023.
Recently, the neighbor wrote, squatters have been living on Jett’s property, trashing it and getting into disturbances that have prompted visits by sheriff’s deputies.
