In June 2022, law enforcement officially located Jones in Washington State. During a tense attempt to arrest him, officials stated that he suddenly advanced toward officers while holding a knife and was fatally shot on the scene. As a result, he never stood trial for the allegations.
Several months later, investigators discovered partial human remains hidden in Amador County. DNA testing officially confirmed they belonged to Alexis Gabe, bringing a heartbreaking end to months of uncertainty and confirming the worst fears her family had held since her disappearance.
Although the case reached a tragic conclusion, Alexis’s memory continues to be deeply honored through community vigils and public tributes. Her family has remained active in advocating for victims of violent crime, supporting efforts to ensure that Alexis is remembered for the kind and caring person she truly was.
