has concluded the oldest cold case homicide investigated and solved by the department.
Back on September 7, 1979, 12-year-old Lesia Mitchell Jackson disappeared from her neighborhood off of FM 1485 after spending a day at her neighborhood pool. Her family contacted law enforcement and an extensive search was conducted to locate her, authorities said. The next day, authorities said her glasses were found at an area intersection. Then five days later, an oilfield worker found Lesia's body in a headily wooded area along a pipeline near Exxon Road. Detectives with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office began an extensive investigation into Jackson's death that lasted for years, but the case eventually turned cold. Then in May 2005, a newly created MCSO Cold Case Homicide Squad took over the investigation.
Over six years later, in October 2021, a new forensic technology, called an "M-Vac" was used to process evidence suspected to be on Lesia’s clothing.
