The Location Record

The registry names River Rouge Police Department reference 20-1219, without a report-date value. Jennifer Nicole Blackmon appears in its narrative, while the displayed name fields contain Jennifer and Blackmon. The entry concerns a person’s reported location; it should not silently be rewritten as a statement only about a car.¹

Larry Wallace’s December 29, 2020, FOX 2 appeal attributes the Frazier Street account to police and says Jennifer had been entered in the National Crime Information Center database. It does not supply the original entry date. December 29 is the article’s publication date, not an independently established date for the first missing-person report.²

That appeal’s headline gives age thirty-four while its body gives thirty-five. A discrepancy inside one publication is not two conflicting witnesses. Resolving it would require the underlying identifying record rather than a guessed birthday.²

The Person and Her Family

FOX 2’s March 19, 2021, feature describes a mother of four whose absence crossed holidays, a birthday and daughter Amonte Hamer’s graduation. Amonte spoke about her mother’s importance to the family. Those missed milestones explain the family’s loss of everyday contact without establishing Jennifer’s fate.³

The feature gives a family account of Jennifer being at her apartment and borrowing her daughter’s car for work after her own car broke down. It then reports the borrowed car being found on Frazier Street. An intended trip, a person’s reported last location and a vehicle’s recovery each need their own supporting observation.³

WDIV’s March 2021 report likewise attributes a last-seen account near Frazier Street to police. Its interview with Amonte centers on wanting her mother to share her accomplishments. It supplies neither an independently reviewed observation placing Jennifer there nor a complete route from the apartment.⁴

Reading the two March reports together leaves a question about what each location label represents. A police-attributed summary is useful, but it does not reproduce the witness, time and circumstances behind that summary.⁴

Friends and Parents

Asher and David Komer’s November 2021 FOX 2 feature interviews Precious Finley, Jennifer’s friend since their teenage years. Finley described the pain of waiting for information. Her long friendship adds a personal perspective; it does not make her a witness to Jennifer’s last movements or establish an investigative conclusion.⁵

MaJenaya Johnson’s April 7, 2022, Telegram family feature describes Jennifer as loving and friendly, while careful about her children’s safety. The family recalled her close childhood relationship with her father. Her parents described caring for grandchildren through her absence. These recollections keep Jennifer’s relationships visible beyond the location entries and public appeals.⁶

Sourced Accounts and Questions

Here’s where you come in. Can you find the original dated observation underlying the Frazier Street person-location entry?¹

Can you identify which account documents Jennifer herself, which concerns the borrowed car, and which describes only an intended destination?³

Can you keep an article’s publication date separate from the original reporting or database-entry date?²

Preserve the accounts and your questions in a Research File in Almost Solved. Record who supplied a detail and what supporting document could clarify it. Differences between summaries leave work to do; they do not establish that a relative, friend or other person gave a false account.
