Mother of missing South Windsor mom speaks out on the disappearance of her daughter

Jessica Edwards was last seen the Monday after Mother's Day. No one has heard from her since.

SOUTH WINDSOR, Conn. — The search continued for 30-year old Jessica Edwards who reportedly went missing one week ago.

Family members spent Monday searching in Windsor and South Windsor by Evergreen Walk.

They said nothing was found in the woods, but said it is the least they can do at this point.

"We need her back," said Hope Edwards, mother of Jessica Edwards.

The family posted flyers around the Cinnamon Springs Condominium where Edwards lived with her husband and seven-month-old baby.

On Friday, friends, family, and strangers teamed up at Riverside Park in Hartford to search for any clues they can find.

That search is something the family said they plan on doing every day until Edwards is found.

"We search around her where she lives, we search any woodsy areas," said Kendra Edwards, cousin of Jessica Edwards.

On Friday night, Connecticut State Police Major Crimes conducted a search warrant at Edwards' home and three cars for evidence that may help with their investigation.

K-9's were also seen canvassing outside of her home. Police have not stated if anything of significance was found.

Kendra said this is not typical behavior of her cousin especially when she called out of her clinical training at Hartford Hospital Monday morning.

"This is not like her to leave without a trace, to leave without her baby," added Kendra Edwards.

Jessica was reported missing last Monday which is when the husband told police he saw her last.

However, other family members said the last time they saw her was on Mother's Day.

The family told FOX61 they have tried multiple times to get ahold of Edwards' husband, but have not had any luck.

"We just want see Jessica. We just want to have her back! That’s it! Somebody knows where she is please let her outside on the sidewalk, we don’t care!" added Hope Edwards.

The family believed someone out there knows something. They desperately asked them to come forward as it is the only way they can get closure.

On Friday, family and friends of Edwards gathered in front of the Riverfront Boathouse in Hartford.

Yanique told FOX61 that Hartford is just starting point and they will expand to surrounding towns, including East Hartford, Manchester, and South Windsor.

"See you at mom’s," said Mario Edwards, brother of Jessica.

That was the last text message he sent to his sister. He said he was ready to give her a Mother's Day but never had a chance to when he found out his sister disappeared.

"I never thought this would be like this! She was prepping for graduation. The last we talked about was she has her clinical and then her final," added Mario.

"She would never leave her baby, she would never leave her family,"said Yanique.

Police said she would sometimes carpool with people from her class, but her husband told police he does not know who she got into a car with that morning. 

Anyone with information can contact the police at 860-644-2551.
