Remains of Missing Calif. Woman Found, More Than 1 Year After She Was Last Seen, as Her Loved Ones Seek Answers

Remains of missing Californian woman discovered over a year later

The remains of a missing woman from the San Diego area have been found more than a year after she was last seen, leaving her loved ones desperate for answers. The skeletal remains, unearthed on a ranch in Valley Center, California last month, have been identified as those of 65-year-old Nadine Jett.

The discovery was made by medical examiners in San Diego, who have been working tirelessly to unravel the mystery surrounding Jett’s disappearance. According to reports from the San Diego Sheriff’s Office, a search warrant was executed on the property in Valley Center on July 16, following leads related to an ongoing investigation into Jett’s case. The search led to the grim discovery of human remains buried on the 20-acre ranch.

Despite the identification of the remains, no arrests have been made in connection with Jett’s death. Detectives from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office are actively pursuing all leads and are determined to shed light on the circumstances surrounding Jett’s tragic fate.

Nadine Jett, a former divorce and family law attorney, had been battling pancreatic cancer before her disappearance. She was known for her role as a foster mother to several children, including Tiffany Lucci and her three quadruplet sisters. The last time the sisters saw Jett was in December 2023, shortly after she was diagnosed with cancer.

Concerns about Jett’s whereabouts were raised by the Lucci sisters and close friends, leading to an investigation into her disappearance. Despite initial communication with Jett’s caretaker, who claimed she was too ill to meet with them, discrepancies arose when he informed them of her supposed death and cremation in Mexico.

The lack of concrete evidence surrounding Jett’s reported passing, including the absence of a death certificate, prompted the Lucci sisters to report her missing approximately a year ago. Subsequent investigations and the involvement of law enforcement eventually led to the discovery of Jett’s remains on her own property.

The Lucci sisters, who considered Jett as a mother figure, are determined to seek justice and closure in the wake of this devastating revelation. They highlighted Jett’s positive influence and unwavering support in their lives, underscoring the deep impact she had on them.

As the investigation into Nadine Jett’s disappearance and death continues, authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward. The search for answers and accountability remains paramount for Jett’s loved ones, who are committed to honouring her memory and fighting for justice.
