Deep in rural Jackson, tucked in the mountains of Brethet County, Kentucky, there's a winding,

quiet stretch of road called Pan Bowl Branch. The locals call it the holler, the kind of place

where homes are so far apart that hollering across the valley is faster than walking to your neighbors.

It was just after 9 a.m. on August 6th, 2025, when one of those

neighbors rather than hearing a holler that morning. Instead, heard an unexpected knock on his back

door. Standing there was 37-year-old Felicia Gross, visibly shaken, eyes red with tears. She asked if she could use his phone. The neighbor agreed,

already sensing something, was very wrong. Alicia dialed 911 and in a trembling voice said,

My child is missing. While police were on their way, she told the neighbor that she and her husband,

Josh Gross, had last seen her 10-year-old son, Jaden Spicer, the night before, sometime between

9 and 9.30 p.m., but when they woke up that morning, Jaden was gone. The story echoes other

haunting cases. Jack and Lily Sullivan, Summer Wiles, Sebastian Rogers,

and even a decades-old mystery of Asha degree. Children who, for reasons still unknown,

seem to walk out of their homes and vanish into thin air. But children don't just fall off the

face of the earth. They're always somewhere. And more often than not,

at least one person knows exactly where that is. While those other cases remain shrouded in mystery,

the fate of Jaden Spicer would be uncovered far more quickly. And what has been uncovered in the

investigation so far has sparked public outrage.

So stay with us.

As we piece everything together, we know so far in this evolving story.

Felicia Spicer was born in October of 1991 to her mother, Lisa Brunty.

She grew up alongside her two sisters, Samantha Brunty and Sh Saliers, in the Appalachian region of eastern Kentucky.

As Felicia grew older, she became a mom herself, having three children, Mia, Jaden, and Elias, Spicer.
