Jade Colvin is Missing

Jade Colvin, a teenager who frequently ran away from the foster care system, vanished in June 2016 after her mother arranged for her to stay at an isolated Iowa farm owned by James Bachmurski. Despite years of digital silence, dedicated investigators reexamined the case and uncovered deleted messages, suspicious photographs of a frantically cleaned crime scene, and a cell phone left behind on the property. These clues dismantled Bachmurski's alibi and exposed his violent past, leading a jury to find him guilty of second-degree murder in August 2025 and sentence him to 50 years in prison. Although her body was never recovered, law enforcement and her grieving loved ones remain fiercely committed to eventually finding Jade's remains and bringing her home.
