The search for 10-year-old Jayden Spicer ended tragically nearly a week after he went missing from his home in Jackson, Kentucky. On August 12,

2025, authorities found his body in a remote area off Canoe Road after a large-scale search involving drones, K-9 units, and community volunteers.

Jayden’s mother, Felicia Gross, was later arrested and charged in connection with his death. Court documents allege she

misled investigators and tampered with witness accounts. The investigation remains active as officials work to uncover the full story.

The case has deeply affected the Jackson community, which united in support—raising reward money, spreading awareness, and assisting in

the search. After Jayden’s body was found, several vigils were held, and local leaders like Father Jim Sichko offered to cover funeral expenses.

Jayden, described as a kind and gentle boy, had recently been staying with relatives after his grandmother’s passing. As grief spreads, the community and law

enforcement have expressed thanks for the overwhelming support and urged people to continue honoring Jayden’s memory while the legal process moves forward.
