An Alabama woman has been missing for three years after she vanished in Waynesboro, Mississippi, and there don’t appear to be any answers all this time later. April Leann Johnson last spoke to her loved ones in December 2019, shortly before she arrested in Mississippi. She vanished without a trace once she left the jailhouse.
Her family reported her missing in January 2020 after she didn’t return home following her release from jail. The Alabama woman was a mother, and her loved ones believed she wouldn’t leave her daughter behind after speaking to her last in December 2019. The more time that passed, the more time it became apparent that April Leann Johnson was truly missing, and that something horrible might have happened to her. However, it should be noted that they filed her missing in Alabama.
To date, there are no searchable news reports about this missing Alabama woman’s case, which is absolutely shameful. It’s been three years since anyone has seen or heard from April, and she doesn’t even have an entry in the NAMUS system.
Even though there aren’t any media or police efforts to signal boost the case, her loved ones are fighting hard to have her found. A loved one of April Johnson posted a Change.Org petition, which claims the family never went to Mississippi to look for their missing loved one, and that a missing persons report was never filed there. The petition also claimed that attempts to contact the police department where she was last officially seen before her disappearance have been unsuccessful.
Was this missing woman murdered? Something seems fishy in the disappearance of April Leann Johnson, but at least one person is out there demanding that the record be set straight in hopes of a real search for her. How much more time will pass before April is found?
