Episode 169: Iesha Jackson - The Empty Apartment

Ieshia Nicole Jackson, a 22-year-old from El Dorado, Arkansas, disappeared in early November 2020 after attending a Halloween party and traveling to Houston, Texas, with relatives (her aunt Shakila and uncle William Parker Jr.). Police confirmed the trip and treat her last verified sighting as the evening of November 4, when the relatives dropped her off at her South Roselawn apartment around 9 p.m.; she left her phone and wallet inside, and the door was later found cracked open. Family members, including her mother Laquita Parker and brother Ji’quez Jackson, had already discovered the apartment in that state early on November 2 after losing contact, creating an unresolved timeline discrepancy. No remains or definitive trace of her have ever been found, though foul play is suspected. She had reported prior break-ins involving her ex-boyfriend Semajee Dismuke, who was briefly arrested in connection with her case (and later released without formal charges) and was separately sentenced in 2024 to five years in prison for child sexual assault offenses. The case remains open and active, with family advocacy continuing and a reward offered for information.   Sources: Iesha Jackson Is Still Missing | The Steve Wilkos Show The Charley Project –  charleyproject.org/case/ieshia-nicole-jackson MyArkLaMiss / KTVE – : iesha-jackson-a-clearer-timeline-unfolds Uncovered.com (or KATV) –  uncovered.com/cases/iesha-jackson-el-dorado-ar   Join The Dark Oak Discussion: Patreon The Dark Oak Podcast Website Facebook Instagram Twitter TikTok Youtube This episode of The Dark Oak was created, researched, written, recorded, hosted, edited, published, and marketed by Cynthia and Stefanie of Just Us Gals Productions with artwork by Justyse Himes and Music by Ryan Creep
