This case was brought to my attention on Twitter, thanks to Jennifer's sister's high school friend.

What happened to Jennifer is still a mystery! Any thoughts?

My first thought is the baby daddy/ex BF/ex-husband.

My second thought is where was SK Larry D. Hall in April 1988. She resembles many of his other victims in facial structure, build, and hair color. He had a "type", so much so that police investigating disappearances of young women referred to the victims as "one of Larry's girls/presumed to be one of Larry's" after Hall was arrested. Mississippi figured prominently in the Civil War. Hall was a CW re-enactor who was drawn to battlefield sites and general areas where battles had taken place nearby. In many stunning not coincidences, women and teen girls fitting the "type" seemed to go missing at the time of reenactments or when he was later known to be in the same area.

His type was athletic, slim build with usually dark hair, about 5 ft.2 to 5 ft 6 in height, and a lot of his victims have the same face shape. When I encountered him on the Purdue campus as a college student, he apparently decided I was a little too curvy and slightly too tall to meet his criteria.

My third thought is the SK that was operating in Louisiana that was arrested decades later. He was from St. Francisville or near there.
Arianna Vaul is missing from LA.

Interesting scenario about Hall. I don’t think I’m familiar with his case? I certainly don’t remember there being a serial killer that went to Civil War reenactments. Every single one of these asks are so creepy.

Larry Dewayne Hall. He has an identical twin brother.

MISSING IN MISSISSIPPI: Jennifer Floyd, Lee County - Darkhorse Press

In 1988, a 19-year-old named Jennifer Floyd left her whole entire life in Tupelo and she was never seen again.

MISSING IN MISSISSIPPI: Jennifer Floyd, Lee County​

In 1988, a 19-year-old named Jennifer Floyd left her life: a job in Tupelo, a car on the side of the road, and a one-year-old daughter her family says she never would have left, and she was never seen again.

Nearly four decades later, still there’s nobody who knows what happened to her. Nobody who’s talking, anyway.

Floyd worked at Hancock Textiles. On the day she vanished, her car turned up at a gas station on West Main Street, roughly a mile from where she clocked in. There was no trail for investigators to follow.

Her mother, Betty Moffet, has carried the uncertainty ever since. Moffet told the Daily Journal that the questions never leave her.

“Somebody done away with my baby and we may never know what happened to her, we may never know. It’s almost like she vanished into thin air,” she said.

What has always convinced her family that Floyd didn’t simply walk away is the child she left behind. Floyd adored her daughter, and the people who knew her have never believed she would have abandoned that little girl by choice.

“No way Jennifer would have left that baby,” Moffet told the Daily Journal. “She’d fight you for that baby. She loved her more than anything.”

For a family, a case like Floyd’s doesn’t close with the years, it simply hardens into a permanent kind of waiting.

“I’d give everything I own to know where my baby is, I’d give my heart,” Moffet told the Daily Journal. “It just hurts not to know.”

The child Floyd left behind is a grown woman now. The years have moved forward for everyone connected to the case except Jennifer Floyd, whose story stopped in 1988.

If you know anything about what happened to Jennifer, or if you remember anything from that time, no tip is too small. Please call the Tupelo Police Department at (662) 841-6491.

I’m thankful her case has been highlighted. I hope a lot of people are exposed to what happened and maybe someone will have answers!
