‘America’s Most Wanted’ features missing James Island woman

“America’s Most Wanted” brought national attention to the search for a missing James Island woman Friday night.

The crime show aired on the Lifetime channel at 9 p.m. and revealed new clues in the search for 30-year-old Jessica “Emily” Gregoriev of Central Park Road.

Gregoriev’s family hasn’t heard from her since March 19, according to a flier distributed by the Charleston Police Department.

Gregoriev told family members she might travel to Florida at the end of March. It is unusual for her to be out of touch for more than two weeks, the flier said.

Investigators think Gregoriev is traveling with John Thomas Reardon, a Charlotte man wanted by U.S. Marshals and the Drug Enforcement Administration on drug trafficking charges.

Reardon also missed a federal court appearance April 3 in Charlotte, according to “America’s Most Wanted.”

Charleston police spokesman Charles Francis confirmed the program’s findings are consistent with the department’s investigation.

“Hopefully (the show) will lead to both of them being located,” Francis said.

Gregoriev could be driving her 2005 dark gray Mazda RX-8 with S.C. license plate GQH-635 or a 2001 Jeep Cherokee, color unknown, bearing the plate HYW-688

She is described as being 5-foot-9 and 150 pounds. She has dark brown hair and brown eyes. Gregoriev is a part-time bartender at a Charleston catering company.
