Ebony Giddens

Case Information:

Ebony Giddens was 27 when she vanished from her apartment in Columbus, Georgia on the night of March 11, 2018, with her disappearance discovered the morning of March 12.

Her purse, wallet, and keys were left inside the residence while her cell phone was missing, and family members reported that calls to her phone went straight to voicemail — behavior they described as out of character.

Case Details:

Giddens lived with two of her children in an apartment on Montclair Drive and was last heard from around 11:00 p.m. on March 11, when a relative spoke with her and the conversation appeared normal.

The next morning her brother and the children’s father found the apartment unlocked and empty of Ebony, prompting an immediate missing‑person report to the Columbus Police Department.

Timeline of Events:

On March 10, 2018, Giddens reported a domestic assault and her then‑boyfriend, Malcolm Jackson, was arrested and released on bond the same day; neighbors later reported seeing him near her car the day before she vanished.

Jackson was subsequently jailed on aggravated stalking and related charges after her disappearance, though he has not been publicly charged in connection with her disappearance; investigators and family have continued to treat the case as active.

Investigation:

The Columbus Police Department’s Special Victims Unit has handled the investigation and has urged anyone with information to come forward; police statements at the time said there was no immediate evidence of foul play but the case remained open.

Family members and local advocates have conducted searches, public appeals, and offered rewards while cooperating with investigators as the department continues to pursue leads.

Community Response:

Local media coverage, community vigils, and online missing‑person posts have kept public attention on the case, and family‑led efforts have included anniversary remembrances and renewed appeals for tips.

Podcasts and true‑crime outlets have also covered the disappearance, helping to amplify the family’s requests for information beyond the Columbus area.

Family Statements:

Family members have consistently said Ebony would not have abandoned her children and have described her as a devoted mother, which is why they and investigators consider her disappearance out of character.

They have continued to press for answers, retain legal counsel at times, and work with community groups to keep the case visible.

Physical Appearance:

At the time of her disappearance, Ebony Giddens was described as a Black female, approximately 4’9″ and 110 pounds, with brown eyes and short braided hair; her ears are pierced. These distinguishing details are included on public missing‑person records to aid identification and public reporting.

Current Status:

As of the most recent public reporting, Ebony Giddens’ case remains unsolved and active, with no confirmed location or recovery reported in the sources reviewed. Investigators continue to accept tips and the family continues to offer rewards and public appeals for information that could lead to closure.
