Missing Monday Ep 7 The Jack Family
August 1st, 1989 was the last time anyone saw or spoke to members of the Jack Family. A unique opportunity presented itself to Ronnie Jack in the form of a job that he was so desperately seeking. Ronnie's wife, Doreen, could even come work in the kitchen to earn additional money. However, they had to leave that night and the man offering the job.....was driving them.
Was this too good to be true? Why the rush?
The members of the Jack family will be missing for 32 years this year.
If you have any information on where any member of the Jack family may be please contact any of the following:
