Michael Jackson’s mother, Katherine Jackson, was reported
missing late Saturday night after her grandchildren have been unable to
contact her for a week, according to reports.
Katherine Jackson’s nephew, Trent Jackson, filed the missing persons
report for the 82-year-old with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s office.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department says Jackson may be with
family members but have reached out to her to contact them.
Michael’s three children have lived with their grandmother since
their father died in 2009. She has not spoken to them for a week which
is unheard of, according to Jackson’s lawyer, Sandra Ribera.
The Jackson matriarch has gone missing in the middle of a family
dispute between several Jackson children and the executors of Michael’s
estate.
The siblings claim Michael’s will, which stated that his assets be
placed in a family trust and that Katherine was guardian of his children
was forged and have demanded that the executors of his estate are
fired.
A letter to executors, made public on Wednesday, from two of
Katherine’s daughters, Rebbie and Janet, and three sons, Jermaine, Randy
and Tito, also states that their mother had a ‘mini-stroke’, reported
CNN.
However, Paris Jackson, Michael’s 14-year-old daughter, initially
disputed the claims about the stroke and tweeted that ‘nothing had
happened to her’. The tweet was later deleted.
