According to the Greene County Sheriff’s Office, Kemp called 911 on May 5 while camping at a primitive site within the Wildlife Management Area in Northwest Greene County. When deputies arrived, they found no one under or inside her vehicle.

A crisis-intervention-trained deputy spoke with Kemp and determined she did not meet the legal threshold for a mental health hold under Arkansas law. She did, however, it she stopped taking prescription medication for her mental health. She was not taken into custody and agreed to follow up with her doctor. The deputy’s encounter with Kemp marked the last confirmed sighting of her.

Delayed missing persons report raises eyebrows 2p2r1f

Kemp was not reported missing by her family until May 14, nine days after her with police. The report was filed with the Jonesboro Police Department, which eventually notified Greene County deputies, prompting a formal investigation at the campsite. According to the department’s post, over 200 man-hours have been invested in searching for Kemp.

Investigators noted that Kemp had a known history of drug addiction and often camped alone in remote locations without regular with her family. No signs of foul play were found at the site. “It is normal for Kemp to camp in remote locations just as she was at Lake Ashbaugh,” the Greene County Sheriff’s Office stated.

Public concern and comparisons to past cases 95r40

Despite assurances from local authorities, Kemp’s case has drawn significant attention and skepticism, particularly due to parallels with past Arkansas disappearances, such as that of Ebby Steppach. Steppach went missing in 2015 after expressing fear for her safety. Her body was found in a park storm drain three years later, after repeated reports to police had gone largely uninvestigated.

Similarly, Kemp’s 911 call suggesting someone may have been stalking her and the decision not to detain her under mental health protocols have fueled criticism. Advocates argue the system continues to fail vulnerable women, especially those with mental health or substance use issues.

Social media has been ablaze with questions about the timeline of Kemp’s disappearance, especially the nine-day delay between her last police and the missing persons report. Many argue that the sheriff’s office’s emphasis on Kemp’s addiction history and lifestyle detracts from the urgency her case demands.

“There are still many unanswered questions” 1gv12

Kemp’s decision to embark on a solo camping trip was met with concern from her family, given the potential risks. When she failed to return or make , her family reported her missing. The Greene County Sheriff’s Office (GCSO) initiated a search, and a reward was offered for information leading to her whereabouts.

“There are still many unanswered questions,” Kemp’s family wrote in part on the GoFundMe page. “We have exhausted most of our resources trying to find her. There have been aerial drone searches, boat searches, dog searches, and extensive foot and land searches.”

Kemp’s family added, “Outside assistance has been limited. We have talked to everyone in the area as well as people in the community.”

Viral theories: “Something weird is going on here” 1s6x14

The Kemp mystery has captured online attention, spawning unconfirmed conspiracy theories and reports. One unverified source posted, “Something happened on May 5th that caused Jessica to make a distress call to 911. An officer responded to the call. His body cam was not on. He sent for an EMT, but then cancelled it before the ambulance arrived.”

The post added, “The police report states he gave her 48 hours to vacate the premises because it is a primitive campsite. They went back two days later to ‘reevaluate’ the situation after leaving her there. That is when they discovered her car, belongings, and even her shoes were all still at the campsite.”

Another post from the same source continued, “According to her family, a sheriff’s deputy from the GCSO was the last person to have seen Paige before she went missing after she placed a distress call to 911. There is no body cam footage. Texas Equusearch and other organizations cannot help without clearance from the GSCO and they refuse to allow it. Something weird is going on here guys.”
