Case Information

Background
Keeshae Jacobs was born on August 6, 1995 to mother Toni Jacobs. Her mother was a single parent and she has one older brother.
Keeshae attended Richmond High School and was a member of the school’s cheerleading squad. After graduating, she wasn’t certain about her future so she worked various jobs to save money, including daycare.
At the time of her disappearance, Keeshae lived with her mother and brother in a house in the Westover neighborhood of Richmond, Virginia.
Disappearance
On September 26, 2016, Keeshae left home in the evening, telling her mother via text message that she planned to spend the night at a friend’s house.
Afterward, Keeshae sent another text message informing her mother that she arrived at the house and that she would be home the following day.
Keeshae Jacobs never returned home, and has never been heard from again.
On September 28, 2016, Keeshae’s mother filed a missing persons report with the Richmond Police Department when she failed to show up.
Investigation
Following Keeshae Jacobs’s disappearance, her friends revealed that they had dropped her off at a man’s house in the 3100 block of East Broad Street, near Chimborazo Park in Church Hill.
The unidentified man admitted to having seen her that night at his apartment, but said Keeshae only stayed there for a few minutes before someone else reportedly picked her up. Authorities searched the house but found no signs of Keeshae.
On January 8, 2017, Keeshae’s brother, 25 year old Deavon Jacobs, was shot and killed by a man during an argument. Authorities announced that the murder had no connection to Keeshae Jacobs’ disappearance.
Since Keeshae disappeared her phone records, bank account, and social media have had no activity.

In September 2023, Otis Tucker, who is a person of interest in Keeshae’s disappearance, was charged with second degree murder in the death of a 35 year old woman in Florida in November 2022.
