63-year-old Thomas McDowell was sentenced to life in prison for first degree burglary, kidnapping and murder in connection with the 1986 disappearance of four-year-old Jessica Gutierrez.

On June 6, 1986, the mother of four-year-old Jessica Gutierrez woke to find her daughter was not in their Lexington South Carolina home. A police investigation that followed found evidence that someone had entered the home through the window early that morning before taking Jessica and exiting out the front door. Although there were multiple land and air searches, Jessica was never seen again. It wouldn't be until 2021 that the case would be reexamined, and a lead would soon be found.
