Our card this week is Jennifer Wilson, the 9 of diamonds from Kansas.

In 2002, 29-year-old Jennifer vanished without a trace after getting into a heated argument

with her living girlfriend.

For over two decades, Jennifer's disappearance has puzzled the community because even

though investigators think they know who's responsible, they've struggled to come up with

the answers to the two remaining questions in her case.

It happened and where is Jennifer?

I'm Ashley Flowers and this is The Deck.

It was just after 6pm on March 29, 2004 when the Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office got

a call from a distressed mother.

Her name was Paulette Mattingley and she said that her daughter was missing.

Paulette said she hadn't seen or heard from her daughter Jennifer in 18 months.

Now Jennifer was a full-on adult, in fact her 31st birthday was just days away.

Paulette said that even though they lived in the same county, they didn't really communicate

a ton.

It wasn't like the two of them had a strained relationship, it's just that life was busy

and on top of that, they worked conflicting shifts.

So it wasn't unusual for them to go months without talking.

But over a year, Paulette thought that was a bit much.

And there was something else adding to her worry.

I couldn't get ahold of Brenda.

And I called her and she would never return my calls.
