The Times-Picayune

Back in August 2025, one of the featured cases we highlighted was that of Jesse Bussey (6204DMDEU) - here are the details that we posted with regard to his disappearance:

Circumstances of Disappearance: Jesse Bussey was last seen on September 3, 1996, filling up his 1991 Toyota MR2 at the post shoppette in Schweinfurt, Germany, where he was stationed in the U.S. Army.

Jesse was charged with sex offences and desertion in September 1996, and was convicted in absentia. He was sentenced to 16 years in prison and dishonourably discharged, but he has not been since September 3rd 1996.

There is a $25,000 reward for information leading to Jesse's location and apprehension.

UPDATE - Jesse Bussey was located by US Marshals in Malaga, Spain, living under an assumed name and teaching English. He was arrested on November 10th 2025, and extradited to the US on June 8, 2026 after almost 30 years of living as a fugitive.

As he was convicted of his crimes in absentia, he has begun his 16-year military prison sentence upon arrival at the US Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

The US Marshals credited Bussey’s apprehension and extradition to teamwork between the Army, INTERPOL, the Spanish National Police Force, the Dover, Delaware, Police Department, the New Jersey State Police, the Justice Department’s Office of International Affairs, the Ministry of Justice of Spain and the public.

Estimated Date of Death: 3-7 years prior
State of Remains: Near complete or complete skeleton
Cause of Death: Homicide

Physical Description

Estimated Age: 16-21 years old
Race: White

Identifiers

Dentals: Available
Fingerprints: Unavailable
DNA: Unavailable

Clothing and Personal Items

Clothing: None
Jewelry: None
Additional Personal Items: Hard contact lens inside a metal candy tin decorated with cherries found near the remains.

Circumstances of Discovery: Hikers found skeletal remains, nude and hog-tied, in a steep ravine along a creek west of Calistoga Road near Santa Rosa. The decedent had been stuffed in a duffle or laundry-type bag before she was dumped approximately one hundred yards from where the body of Lori Lee Kursa was recovered seven years earlier.

She is a victim of the Santa Rosa Hitchhiker Murder, which included the deaths of least seven female hitchhikers between 1972 to 1974. Several suspects, including the Zodiac Killer, Arthur Leigh Allen, and Ted Bundy have been considered, but no one has yet to be convicted.

This woman is the only unidentified victim attributed to this serial killer. She was previously speculated to be Jeannette Kamahele, but dental comparison and DNA ruled her out.
