Carthage, Texas
Summary:
Jeanie Naomi Lofton was a 21-year-old woman who disappeared from Carthage, Texas on April 2, 1994, after borrowing her mother's car to pick up a prescription. She has never been found.
Vital Statistics
Circumstances of Disappearance:
Jeanie was last seen in Carthage, Texas on the afternoon of April 2, 1994, after borrowing her mother's brown Ford Tempo to pick up her sick baby's prescription at Eckerd Drug Store. Her son's prescription was found in her car. The vehicle she drove was found parked and abandoned at a church (the Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church). An eyewitness said he saw a white Isuzu pickup pull into the church parking lot behind Lofton. Her vehicle was found abandoned, and officials suspect foul play.
Additional Details:
Lofton's maiden name is Voiselle. The couple had married while Lofton was still in high school, and were together for four years. Their relationship had been stormy and each of them had been in jail for domestic violence against the other. Charles was scheduled to take a polygraph in connection with Jeanie's disappearance on May 3, but the day before, he claimed he'd been shot on Forsyth Street in Carthage by an unidentified White man driving a black car. When police investigated his claim, they accused him of lying and charged him with filing a false report, a misdemeanor. Experts determined that Charles had been shot from less than one foot away, and gun shot residue was found on his hands. In 1995, Charles was convicted of filing a false report. Jeanie's disappearance was investigated by a grand jury in the spring of 1994 and again in the summer, but no indictments were issued.
