Missing Keeshae Jacobs update
You may recall Keeshae Jacobs vanished on a Monday night six weeks ago.
Neither her debit card nor her cell phone has been used since. Police say she was last seen in the Chimborazo Park area in Church Hill and while police haven't said it, her mother suspects foul play.
