Father Murders 9-Year Old Daughter Because She Didn’t Get Along with His Girlfriend
Was he also responsible for his daughter’s mother’s disappearance seven years earlier?
I can’t find my daughter. On October 18, 1999, a distraught father called 911 in tears. 34-year-old William Bradley “Brad” Jackson claimed that his daughter, Valiree, played outside that morning. When it was time to leave for school, Brad discovered that she was missing, her backpack the only thing left behind on their front doorstep. Valiree was only nine years old.
Everyone knew and loved the little girl with distinctive red hair and a bright smile. The close-knit community immediately rallied together not only to help police search for Valiree but also to comfort Brad, who seemed genuinely devastated. The poor guy couldn’t seem to catch a break. He was a single dad, raising Valiree by himself ever since Valiree’s mother had disappeared seven years earlier.
Police consider possible suspects
The sleepy town outside Spokane, Washington feared the worst — a stranger from outside the community was preying on their children. Tips poured in as neighbors reported sightings of suspicious strangers, but none of them panned out.
