This case has wreaked since the very beginning. Whatever happened to Adre’Anna, the answer lies within the Lakewood and Tillicum communities. Lately it seems as there are more than a few Internet followers, whether from forums or blogs that are sympathetic to both Jon Federicci and Yvette Gervais. I am not, the above picture of Adre’anna shows a young girl full of life, the video was shot last summer and to see the full video click here. I had seen a previous video that had the stepfather talking about Adre’Anna twice and neither time did he mention her name, he just referred to her as “Just bring the little girl home”.
Now onto Mama she does not fare much better in her video presence, she says in the comfort of her own home, “We’re lonely” and We’re just empty inside”. Notice her ability to speak for other people but yet what about Adre’Anna, who is speaking for her?
In this same video Dave Jacobson is telling about panties he had in his collection from an ex-girlfriend. From the looks of this creep, I would hate to see what the women would look like that would date him. Jacobson has pictures of Adre’Anna displayed on his TV console inside his double wide, perhaps giving a clue to his sick obsession with Adre’Anna. He also says a pair of pants belonged to the little girl of his so called girlfriend. He then calls bone chips that police confiscated from his home as belonging to a chicken, sorry Dave, this is not Louisiana and shades of the movie Angel Heart.
Bags of cement were seen outside of his home but these bags seemed to have been there for quite some time. As an outsider looking in I am aware that a couple of bags of cement were found out in a dumpster by American lake. I personally do not think that cement has anything to do with Adre’Anna and I hope that I am right as to this matter. Local Law enforcement I am sure would be all over any new cement that had been poured recently in that area. If Jacobson has cement that was poured on his property prior to December 2, 2005, that may deserve a closer look depending on what exactly these bone chips turn out to be.
You can also see Jon Federicci in the beginning of this video.
According to the very own words of Jon Federicci, he claims himself that he walked Adre’Anna halfway to school that day. Very convenient Jon! leave yourself some wiggle room, had you walked her the entire way you could not as easily explain Adre’Anna as an abduction.
This writer definitely feels the answer lies very close to home, if not within that home. This is the time that the police need to turn up the pressure and have a full court press. There will be no apologies from this writer about her family as I know that they failed Adre’Anna/Andre’Anna Jackson in many ways and I just hope that they did not contribute to her death if she does not come out of this alive.
The National Voice for Children web site is offering a $1000.00 dollar reward to information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person/persons responsible for the disappearance of Adre’Anna Jackson submitted on confidential form below.

This town seems so small and confined that I’m starting to think if someone did pick Adre’Anna up, they must have taken her out of town. Otherwise, since there has been no sighting or evidence of her anywhere, it may have been something happened within the home, or a friend’s home. But you’re right, noone seems to speak for the child, they are just speaking for themselves or defending themselves.
Thanks for continuing to give Adre’Anna a voice.
December 28, 2005 at 5:09 am
I see the probability that some transient or passerby picked her up being more than a long shot.
She is such a gorgeous young little girl that fits the bill that these sick predators go for, from Jon Benet to Jessica Lunsford to Evelyn Miller to Adre’Anna Jackson.
I hope some answers come soon.

Your impressions about the father are dead on in my opinion and I while I don’t know that the mother had anything to do with it (I’ve seen her crying in a few vieos) — I, however, do believe that she is probably a battered wife and would probably cover for the slime Federicci. As far as his interviews are concerned — He is as bad an actor as Scott Peterson. That guy better be ready for a beating — cuz that’s what he’ll get in prison. A monkey could have convicted Scott Peterson — this case is not that far off. I have no clue about that nasty looking neighbor -although, I too find him highly suspicious. “Oh, he asked me to store extra garbage when she went missing — and I didn’t think anythig of it” Right. FREAK. Poor little girl – she went missing right around my birthday. I can only hope that she knows that had I known her and if she had EVER indicated she needed help — I would’ve provided it in a second. A sad story that is becoming too familiar.
January 3, 2006 at 7:41 am
I wrote about her as well, but have not seen the wealth of news reports you evidently have found. Keep up the good work and welcome the True Crime Blogroll!
January 3, 2006 at 8:08 am
Thanks for the welcome. Adre’Anna is one of those cases that grabbed me, it is hard when so many children go missing so often. I am shocked that there is not any new information that is out there since what was released prior to Xmas.
I discount any stranger abduction as her family really has some serious issues.
January 4, 2006 at 7:16 am
Here is a very interesting video – I believe the dad seems very fake — doesn’t even use her real name. “Bring the little girl home.”
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/12/16/earlyshow/main1132433.shtml
January 4, 2006 at 8:00 am
@Ellen, I agree, he actually does that twice, Just bring the little girl home. That was one of the big things that got to me was the way he referred to Adre’Anna almost like an object.
January 5, 2006 at 8:11 am
When asked in the interview if he thought she was ok he replied:
“Oh, absolutely,” he said. “There’s no doubt about it. They’re feeding her and taking care of her. She’s a cute little girl and there’s no doubt about it. I have that feeling. I feel pretty strong about it. I can sense it. I’m pretty sure. So just bring her home — drop her off at the local a church and we will appreciate it.”
1) I have that feeling.
2) I feel pretty strong about it.
3) I’m pretty sure.
4) I can sense it.
He is repeating himself. Probably has it written out. Doesn’t want to sidetrack. I have taht feeling = I sense it. I feel pretty stong about it = I’m pretty sure.
I would definitely not believe this guy if I were an investigator. And why haven’t they conducted another lie detector test if the first one was inconclusive?
Poor little girl — to have to call that “Dad.”
Who knows about the mom — seemed like if the dad punched the little girl in the face before she might think he could be guilty.
Good talking to you. I’ll keep you posted on any news I learn.

Police said Federici first told them he walked Adre’Anna part way down the block before turning back home, although they say elements of that account have changed in later retellings. MSNBC story….

Thx!

Thanks Ellen for supplying the link. I wish I could do more for Adre’Anna. There needs to be pressure put on the local authorities there in Lakewood. Every day, several times I check to see if there is anything new on Adre’Anna but the last known news article was on Xmas eve.
I have kept Adre’Anna on the front page of the National Voice for Children web site and also featured her as child of the week for the entire month of December and she continues to be on the front page of the NVFC.

Maybe it is time to put pressure on the local authorites that seem to have forgotten about Adre’Anna
January 6, 2006 at 5:39 am
I doubt that they have forgotten about her — but it may be that they are having a dry spells as far as any new clues. They are probably honing in on the “Dad” b/c the article noted his stories have been inconsistent. I have a law degree but I would love to be investigator -especially helping missing children. I cannot believe that no one saw more than they did if she did indeed walk to school. My guess is that the boat has something to do with the situation. I wish someone would explain that –where did it come from? I wish more people paid closer attention to these matters. Every little bit helps.
I’ll keep you posted on anything I find on the web — that’s mainly where I get my news. I find that watching television is far too draining.
February 24, 2006 at 11:12 am
It’s entirely possible that Adre’Anna’s mother isn’t battered. Having known some former victims of child abuse, and their mothers, it seems like denial is much more of a culprit in child abuse cases. The mothers all too often sense that something’s not right, but are too scared of upsetting the status quo, too scared of looking bad themselves, whatever. I personally will never be able to understand it. It goes against the most basic human instinct for a mother to allow her child to be abused.
April 6, 2006 at 1:52 am
She’s home with God now. She will be missed. I talked with my children today about the findings. I hope they find who is at fault.
April 6, 2006 at 10:19 am
[...] The word from the newspaper article that Cammy-g linked to above chooses to use the word buried, this is just not a coincidense in my opinion and since police are being tight-lipped about this case at this time, this is the first indication coming out that this indeed was a murder. I always let the dust settle where the dust settles and for those who are not sure of the person or persons your truly feels is responsible for the murder of Adre’anna all one has to do is read the first blog entry that I wrote on Adre’anna. To cut to the chase a little, I metion my suspicians of Jon Federicci and the neighbor Dave Jacobson. [...]

Comment by someone who knows
April 12, 2006 @ 7:52 pm
I personally knew Adre’anna very well. She was my daughter’s best friend and she counted me as her friend as well. She thought I was the “coolest and funest Mom ever” because we always did “fun” things together. Her favorite thing was when we would make play dough. I can still see my daughter and her with flour on their noses (and everywhere else) giggling and laughing with such joy.
Adre’anna delighted in the simplest things, the way the sunlight made patterns on my lawn when shining through the leaves, my dog licking her on the nose and running and playing with her, chasing the icecream man down with the other kids on the block, doing cartwheels, teaching my daughter to do summersaults, riding her bike on the sidewalk, swinging on the swings and going so high the swing set started to “take off”, walking to the park, playing with her pets (a guinea pig and a coral snake) and playing her guitar. She was an angel, a gift from God and I will always remember her this way.
My heart breaks when I think of her suffering. I can’t even type this without stopping to wipe the tears and blow my nose repeatedly. I loved Adre’anna and I always will. My daughter knows she went missing in December but nothing more. She asks often if Adre’anna is home yet so we can go visit her. I don’t know how I will tell my daughter that she will never see her again. I’m having a hard time with it myself. I spend so much energy trying not to cry, not to let my daughter know anything is wrong that I have a constant migrane and trouble sleeping. If we had not moved away I would have never been able to keep this most horrible outcome away from her at all.I pray for the strength I need and the resolution Adre’anna deserves.
Adre’anna was a “change of life” baby who was teasured by her mother and abandoned by her father. She was seen as a nuisance by her mother’s boyfriend/fiance, Jon. I think the fact that Yvette went to Colorado without him speaks volumes. His story has changed from walking her halfway, to watching her walk halfway, to seeing her out the door. Adre’anna loved him. It’s a shame that the love went unreturned. I think he had something, if not EVERYTHING, to do with this tragedy. A young life filled with such promise cut short by betrayal. A monster took her body, but he can never take her soul.
As for David Jacobson, I have known him for 10 years. He is disabled and cannot take care of his appearance as most do. He is just another innocent who is now grieving for a friend lost forever. He has a picture of my daughter on his wall right next to where Adre’anna’s picture hung till he put next to his T.V. when she went missing. He is not obsessed. He cares for the girls as if they were his own and in both cases the pictures were given to him by their mothers. Let’s not buy into the doubt Jon has cast his way, please.
April 12, 2006 at 8:32 pm
For Someone who knows
Thank you very much for sharing your story, Adre’annas case was one of the hardest for me and your words of Adre’anna and how she would play really grabbed me. I wish you and your daughter the best.
I think my writing has been clear that my anger has always been with her step-father, as for Dave, he probably got an unfair shake from the media.
Again thanks for sharing,
Steve

I live in University Place. I do not have a TV and never new about the murder of Adre’anna. I learned about Adre’anna near a month. Since my next-door neighbor chose to move her sex offender boyfriend to her house, I became worry and I started to look for other sexual offenders that live near my area on the Internet, and saw Little Adre’anna’s picture. I was very sad that Adre’anna had to die so young and probably in the hands of a monster. I have a 7 year old and a 2 year old, and I think that if something happen to my daughters, I would go crazy.
The first time I read the latest news about Adre’anna, I told myself repeatedly that the dad was guilty. Today, June 22, 2006, I read that this person so called Addriana’s “DAD” is not even her biological father, nor her stepfather. This person looks like a criminal to me. I have no doubts that Jon Federicci is guilty.
As for the mom, I have my doubts as well. She looks like one of those women that chose a man over her children, like my next-door neighbor.
I really hope that the monster that murdered Adre’anna, will be punished. As I pray every night for all the children in the world, I hope no more children are being murdered as I type this. I will be praying for Adre’anna too.

I have been following this case since this darling child disappeared. My son went to tillicum last year and I remember the snow day, and the story. If you looked outside that day you would have known school would be out, and if you knew the area you would not let a little girl walk that far by herself in the snow. Clover park school district has a phone systemi know they didn’t have a phone) that calls and tells you they are closed , late etc., and it was all over the news.
None of this story makes sense to me.
Where was mom,He was arrested for assaulting this child was CPS involved, did the school know? Was anyone paying attention? Obviously some neglect and abuse going on- no-one knew? Its such a tradegy its hard to believe that no-one sa( w any signs that things were not going very well for this precious child.
My son knew adrianna and we have talked about her quite a bit since then and I search for information but there is nothing. Is this because of an investigation, no leads or that they just dont care?
Sorry to seem judemental but I dont let my 9 year old or my 15 year old for that matter walk alone in lakewood.
September 27, 2006 at 11:58 pm

January 9, 2007 at 11:12 pm
I lived right accross the street from Adre’anna and I can honestly say that the police should have looked closer to home. I witnessed Jon beat her counlessly and i wouldnt be suprised if he had something to do with her dissappearnace. As for that thing called her mother how could she act like that. She didnt act like any grieving mother would. Did you notice that she was on the news every chance that she got? Most grieving mothers that i have seen on t.v. send another relative of the family to talk to the news but not her and its bad enough we had to see her face. I honestly think that the system failed Adre’anna in every way possible. When she was abused the first 2 times she should have been removed from the home. I found out that yvette and jon no longer live in tillicum. As soon as her remains were found they split.
January 19, 2007 at 3:29 pm
When I first saw Adre’anna’s picture in the newspaper, my heart stopped and I couldn’t breathe. I was looking down at a picture of a girl that looked EXACTLY like my friend Alexis. I was scared to death. I had not yet seen her name, for I had been focusing on the picture. I was almost scared to read what her name was, fearing that it just might have Alexis’s name next to it. Once I read the name, I felt both happy and sad at the same time. Although I was glad to see that It was not my friend, I was sad to know that another child had gone missing. And for a moment, the moment that I first saw the picture, I knew exactly how the family and friends of Adre’anna must have felt. I later Googled her name to see if she had been found, and when I read the story of what had happened to her, I almost cried. Now, whenever I look at a missing persons notice in the newspaper, I will silently pray to god that they are brought home safe and their kidnapper is thrown in prison for lifew. To Adre’anna’s family, I give the deepest sympathy.

I ACTUALLY LIVE VERY CLOSE TO THE SCHOOL AND HER, ITS HURTS TO KNOW THAT SOME ONE DID THIS SO CLOSE TO MY HOME. AND KNOW ONE IS COMING FOURTH WITH THE TRUTH, HER STEP DAD WALKED HER HALF WAY? WHERE SHE WAS FOUND WAS ABOUT HALF WAY AND SCHOOL WAS CANCELLED? THEY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT AS PARENTS, I MEAN WHO DOESNT CHECK THE NEWS DURING THAT KIND OF WEATHER? SOME ONE KNOWS SOMETHING I WISH THEY WOULD TURN THERE SELFS IN OR SOMETHING BECAUSE SHE DIDNT DESERVE WHAT HAPPEN TOO HER AND THERE IS A SEAT IN HELL WAITING FOR THE PERSON WHO TOOK THE LIFE OF SOME WHO DID NOTHING TOO THEM OR ANY ONE ELSE
August 29, 2007 at 5:10 pm
I just happened upon this tragic story today as I was reading about how they are looking in to a possible self proclaimed pedophile as a suspect for Adre’anna Jackson’s murder. I see that it is coming up on the 2 year mark of her disappearance. What ever became of her “stepdad”? How can we all see the obivious signs of guilt yet nothing of any arrest?? It gave me the creeps how he kept saying that she’s a cute little girl. I don’t like the way his and the mom’s story of her getting off to school has changed. I also don’t like the fact that if she supposedly went to school in the morning and they discovered that she was missing at 2:30, that would be roughly 6 hours that she was unaccounted for yet they didn’t call police til 4:30. When the mom talks to the media within a couple weeks of her missing she isn’t even emotional, Jon keeps looking away from the reporter in the news video while answering with stupid responses. The reporter keeps drilling him about whether he thinks she’s been abducted and he said yes and she’s being clothed and fed. How would he know that?? It’s just a sad case of how the innocent always suffer at the hands of the evil ones.
