YULEE, Fla. – A new show is examining a missing person case that shook Northeast Florida in 2018, and is taking viewers through the investigative process that ultimately led to a conviction.
In the second episode of “50 Ways to Catch a Killer,” which is hosted by rapper and entrepreneur Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, the show dives into the case of Joleen Cummings, a mother from Yulee who went missing during Mother’s Day weekend seven years ago.

The episode, titled “Untangle the Lies,” is a nod to Cummings’ work as a hair stylist in Fernandina Beach, where she worked alongside Kimberly Kessler, who was convicted of killing Cummings in 2022.
“Joleen Cummings finishes her shift at Tangles Hair Salon, excited for Mother’s Day and her birthday, but when she never picks up her kids, alarm bells go off,” the description for the episode reads. “When the detectives start digging, they uncover strange behavior, hidden secrets, and an ordinary item that turns this from a missing person case into something far more sinister.”
On May 12, 2018, Joleen Cummings left her job at Tangles hair salon. It’s the last time she was seen.
Two days later, her mother reported her missing to the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office.
On May 16, Kessler, known then as Jennifer Sybert, was arrested in St. Johns County for stealing Cummings’s SUV. Nearly four months later, she was indicted for first-degree murder.
Season 1 of 50 Ways to Catch a Killer can be watched on FOX Nation, with new episodes coming out weekly. The next episodes are expected to come out on Sept. 23.
