Jessica McClure was born on March 26, 1986, in Midland, Texas. She may have lived an otherwise normal life were it not for the harrowing events that occurred in October 1987, which earned her international attention as “Baby Jessica.”
On October 14, 1987, at the age of just 18 months, Jessica was at her aunt’s home in Midland, where she ran a daycare center. Jessica and four other children were playing in the backyard while Jessica’s mother, Cissy, supervised, Biography reported. Cissy stepped inside briefly to answer a phone call and soon heard the children screaming. She rushed outside but couldn’t find Jessica.
