Cecil Jackson, 39: Disappeared On Her Way To Church
She hasn't been seen or heard from since 1986 and there isn't any coverage about her case.
Another cold case out of Texas hasn't received any publicity in decades, but Cecil Jackson deserves attention.
Once again, only one government database lists her case. It was stated that Cecil, 39, disappeared in 1986, but very little is known about the case's circumstances.

The National Missing & Unidentified Persons System reports that on August 16, 1986, Cecil was on her way to church when she vanished. It is unclear if she was traveling from home or work, and it isn’t apparent if she was meeting anyone specific.
That day was a Saturday, and because almost nothing is known about Cecil’s home or professional life, it is also impossible to track any information regarding the investigation.

At the time of her disappearance, Cecil Jackson stood 5 feet tall and weighed 135 pounds. She had brown hair and brown eyes. No distinguishing marks have been included in NamUs's report, nor is there information about what she may have been wearing when she was last seen.
