A 64-year-old woman has been missing from her Zanesville home for a few days, and authorities are suspecting foul play was involved in her disappearance.

A person of interest in Elizabeth Alverez’s disappearance is her relative, 26 year-old John J. Jenkins, Jr., according to Zanesville Police Chief Tony Coury.

Zanesville Police Department officers, detectives and individuals from the Bureau of Criminal Investigation were inside Alverez’s home on Adams Street until approximately 1:30 a.m. Thursday executing a search warrant.

Coury said authorities are concerned about Alverez’s whereabouts.

Jenkins is currently in jail in the Franklin County for his involvement in a robbery that occurred on Tuesday.

According to Columbus Police, an officer was working a special duty assignment at the Certified Gas Station on W. Broad Street when he called in shots fired in an attempted robbery on the gas station.

Just before 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 28, Jenkins entered the gas station and brandished a weapon before demanding cash from an employee. Upon seeing the officer, Jenkins ran from the station on foot.

During the foot pursuit, the officer observed Jenkins reaching for his gun and began shooting. Jenkins was not hit during the shooting.

A nearby car, driven by 20 year-old Rachel Sipple, sped away upon Jenkins getting inside.

A vehicle pursuit ensued with Columbus PD. The duo ultimately crashed the vehicle into a tree at the intersection of N. Star Road and Essex Road.

Both Jenkins and Sipple were apprehended without further incident, and both were unharmed. Charges are pending against both Jenkins and Sipple.

The officer, as well as the gas station employees, were also unharmed during the incident.

According to Columbus PD, a weapon was later recovered at the scene and found to be a pellet gun.
