When Ella Jackson vanishes without a trace, her husband, Eastern Kentucky University professor Glenn Jackson, doesn't report her missing. Her 19-year-old son, Phillip Hans, reports his mother missing. This is just one of many red flags that begin flapping in the breeze in the disappearance and murder of Ella Jackson.
