CIRCUMSTANCES OF DISAPPEARANCE

On July 31st, 2020, just before midnight, Jamie Tate left her mother's home in Indianapolis, Indiana with a bag of clothes. Jamie told her mother she would be back. In the early morning hours of August 1st, it is alleged that Jamie was heard arguing with Robert Owen Sorrells Jr. and he was seen dragging her into a house at 508 S. Warman Ave in Indy. Jamie knew Sorrells personally and it was reported that he had been harrassing and stalking her.

After that 5am sighting on August 1st, 2020, Jamie Tate was never seen or heard from again. She was reported missing to IMPD on or about August 7th, 2020.

It was later discovered that on July 31st, between 3-4 in the afternoon, someone in a blue car tried to run Jamie over at 3800 W Washington in Indianapolis, Indiana. It is believed that Jamie Tate had gained knowledge about the murder of Blake Burnau, and because she spoke out, her own life was threatened and possibly taken.

Jamie's family has been adamant about seeking justice. They have been open about Jamie's past addiction issues, her struggles with mental health issues, including PTSD.

It is not uncommon for officials to overlook cases like Jamie’s. If there is a hint of substance abuse adding to a risky lifestyle, it seems to make these cases less of a priority to officials.

Although Jamie had her personal struggles, she deserves no less from authorities than any other missing person or victim of violent crime.

Jamie Jo Tate was the youngest of four siblings on her maternal side, and youngest of six siblings on her paternal side. Jamie’s mother says she was always a “daddy’s girl” with a great sense of humor and loved by all who knew her. Jamie loved the outdoors and loved fishing.

This young lady is clearly more than a face on a poster with a case number. She was a daughter, a sister, a friend whose presence is missed. She was more than a case file sitting in the back of a desk that only gets reviewed when another piece of paper gets added to it.

Her family deserves answers, Jamie Jo deserves to be brought home.
