Katherine Jackson, mother of the iconic pop star Michael Jackson, was reported missing on July 21, 2012. It was her nephew Trent who filled the missing person’s report after not being able to locate her for days. Being an elderly women of 82 years, she couldn’t have managed a lot on herself. There were cracks appearing in the family after Michael Jackson’s death due to inheritance of his state. Foul play couldn’t be ruled out.

End story

In only a few hours, police located Katherine Jackson. She was never missing, she was playing a game of Uno with some of her family members in Arizona. (You’ve got to be kidding me!). She is alive and well even to this day. Her family reported his missing so hastily because there was so much going around in the family due to MJ’s will. The first thing they thought when they couldn’t find Katherine was foul play.
