Almost a year after she was reported missing, Jasmine Robinson’s disappearance remains a mystery for authorities.
Robinson was 23 years old and about 6 or 7 months pregnant when she disappeared from her Archer home. She was last seen by family members Feb. 16, 2019, but her family reported her missing to the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office Feb. 18, after spending two days searching for her on their own, said Art Forgey, a spokesperson for ACSO.
While the sheriff’s office continues to investigate her case, Forgey said no significant updates have been made as of now.
The last day Robinson was reportedly seen, she returned home from work and told her aunt she was headed for bed around 8 p.m. The next morning, she was nowhere to be found. She left behind her toothbrush, money and clothing.
ACSO’s investigation of the case included multiple searches around Alachua County and surrounding counties, Forgey said. The department has also posted several notices on its website, and the community has been “flooded with fliers,” asking for any information about Robinson’s disappearance.
The sheriff’s office, in partnership with the Florida Sheriff’s Association Criminal Apprehension Assistance Program and Crime Stoppers, has offered $8,000 in exchange for information regarding the case since April 2019.
There are currently more than 25 cold cases listed on ACSO’s website. The list includes both unsolved murder cases and missing persons.
One of the unsolved missing persons cases listed involves Tiffany Sessions, a 20-year-old UF student who disappeared while on an evening run on campus Feb. 9, 1989.
Investigators suspect a man named Paul Rowles was involved with Sessions’ disappearance but could not continue with a trial because Rowles died while serving time in prison for the first-degree murder of 21-year-old Santa Fe College student Elizabeth Foster.
Forgey said that because the investigation into Robinson’s disappearance is still on-going, he is unable to reveal any potential leads or suspects to the public.
Any information about Jasmine Robinson and her whereabouts can be shared with Crime Stoppers at 352-372-7867.
