Meanwhile, authorities recovered a surveillance tape, which caught Jessica stopping by a convenience store to fill up her tank about 90 minutes before she was found on that back road.

When she left the store, investigators theorized that she may have proceeded to meet with some friends. Charlotte Wilkerson, Jessica’s friend, spoke to NBC and shared where Jessica went that night. “There was a party going on and she was there. When she left the party, that’s when it happened to her,” Wilkerson said.
