Jana Duggar resurfaces in friend’s photo on secret getaway after mysteriously disappearing from social media

JANA Duggar has reappeared on social media in a friend's photo following the reality star's mysterious hiatus from her platforms.

The eldest Duggar sibling hasn't posted online since her brother Josh's sentencing for child pornography charges.

Jana resurfaced on Instagram after her gal pal, Alyssa Bates, 27, shared a snap on her Stories of the pair enjoying a getaway.

The duo posed for a photo while hanging out at what appeared to be an airport.

The BFFs reportedly reconnected in Tennessee while Alyssa was visiting family.

Jana donned a white t-shirt and blue jeans with her brunette hair down as she smiled for the snap while holding a coffee cup.

Alyssa, who captured the selfie, also wore a white tee with her blonde highlights in loose waves.

She captioned the shot: "So good to catch up with this sweet girl."

The photo was refreshing to see as Jana has remained quiet on social media in recent weeks.

The 32-year-old had not posted on her Instagram since March, when she showed off a home renovation project she was working on.

And she has had few sightings on her sibling's feeds since Josh, 34, began his 12-year prison sentence for his crimes.

RARE SIGHTINGS

Last month, Jana made a rare appearance on her friend Emily Ann Raynes's Instagram Stories while attending a wedding.

Her younger brother James, 21, also went with her to the ceremony and was in the photo.

The post was captioned: "We were very excited about the amazing reception."

The Counting On alum wore a black dress with the skirt cut above the knees and high heels for the occasion.

She also made headlines last month after she sold her Arkansas real estate property for $200K which gave her a $105K profit.

Fans spotted Jana days earlier when she joined her sisters, Jessa, Jana, Jennifer, and Jessa's husband, Ben, for a visit to Los Angeles.

While Jana didn't post photos from the West Coast trip, her sisters documented the reunion as they attended a Dodger's baseball game and rode rides at the Santa Monica Pier.

JOSH'S SENTENCING

At the same time, Josh was dealing with the repercussions of his wrongdoings and began his sentencing in federal prison.

Josh had been in Washington County Jail in Arkansas awaiting transfer to either FCI Seagoville or FCI Texarkana in Texas, depending on availability, since his sentencing.

The Washington County Jail exclusively confirmed to The Sun last month that Josh was no longer in their custody. 

They were unable to confirm where he was being transferred for safety reasons. 

His status on the Federal Bureau of Prisons has not been updated to reflect his current location. 

JANA'S CHARGES

Earlier this year, Jana also dealt with some legal issues of her own, as news circulated that she pleaded guilty to child endangerment charges.

Jana entered the plea on December 15, resulting in fines and fees totaling nearly $900.

This includes a $100 fee to go towards Child Victim Crime.

The 19 Kids and Counting alum was charged back in September of 2021 with endangering the welfare of a child.

The TV personality posted bail at $430 at the time.

Jana explained the situation in a post, claiming that a "scary accident" occurred while she was babysitting.

Her sister Jessa and her cousin Amy Duggar both spoke out in support of Jana in separate posts online.
