MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Greene County Sheriff’s Department confirmed Wednesday that human remains found near Lake Ashbaugh in Arkansas are those of a woman who went missing last month.

The sheriff’s department said that the Arkansas State Crime Lab identified the human remains located on June 10, near Lake Ashbaugh, as those of Jessica Paige Kemp.

Kemp, 32, who most recently lived in Paragould, Arkansas and was originally from Munford, Tennessee, was last seen alive on May 5, camping alone near Lake Ashbaugh in northeast Arkansas.

“We’ve searched everything. We’ve searched all those woods, we’ve searched all those woods,” said her mother, Sandy Kemp told WREG in May.

Sandy Kemp was exhausted and frightened for the safety of her daughter, who is originally from Munford, Tennessee.

“The last known read message was on May 5th. I texted her again, May 6, 6:30 in the morning, she has not opened a message since then,” said Sandy.

Police found Kemp’s abandoned car, and inside the car were her purse with items scattered. Her phone was recovered, but there was no sign of Kemp.

“We didn’t hear anything from her. She stopped using her debit card, no responses from her to anybody, and we’ve always been a very, very close family, so we knew something was wrong,” Sandy said.

On June 10, Greene County Sheriff Brad Snyder said a detective and a civilian search party made the discovery around 1:45 p.m. in an area southwest of Lake Ashbaugh.

Snyder said they encountered a strong smell of decomposition before finding the remains in “a very advanced state of decomposition.”
