Police are tight-lipped now about how the two incidents are connected – and what happened the day Booker died.

"He was able to make his way into her home. We won’t discuss subsequent to that. At some point, she left the home, and we were able to locate her in a vehicle," Robinson said.

While police search for Jackson, Booker's loved ones search for answers – hoping the person accused in her death is found soon.
