Jen disappeared
So from my research this bug isn't new, but thought I'd give my experience a share,

I've seen others have this issue, and in one screenshot, Jen appears to be in the ground, this made me think of what happen on the mission I was on for Jen just before this happen, a biker zombie at the underground grave yard came out of the wall ragdolled and fell through the ground, got up inside the ground and ran around until it pulled it self up out of the ground,

Not sure if that has any significance, but first the zombie under the floor now Jen in such a short of time, it made me wonder, I don't know how the game handles things but maybe those two events are connected some how?

I don't know, searching for a work around now.

Update:

So I was able to fix Jen, though it required creative mode.

1. Press F1 to open console
2. Enter dm for dev mode
3. Hit esc and turn on god mode and No collisions by checking the boxes
4. back in game hit H to enable flying
5. Go to where Jen is usually, then fly under the ground using crouch, jump to go up.
6. Find Jen and hold E on here, select the X from the options, this will remove her
7. Wait a minute and she'll respawn in the right place again, if she doesn't appear, leave the area and come back, for me she respawned less then a couple minutes of removing here.
8. Make sure your not inside any objects, turn of flying by pressing H or using the esc menu and uncheck what you checked before, hit F1 and type dm again to get out of dev mode and boom your back to where you were, before the Jen disappear bug.

Bonus: If Jen is not under the floor boards, she might be some where else near by, fly around, if you can't find her, you can spawn a copy of her, though you'll have to respawn her every time you need to talk to her, for she will disappear again the next time you leave the area, Pressing F6 gives you a npc spawn menu.

This update seems to have some serious Z position bugs. I'm seen cars not sitting right, I've gotten stuck half in the ground a few times, zombies sometimes are half in the ground when they die, sometimes zombies and critters completely fall through the world or spawn in the world or in blocks. So Jen prolly failed her collision check with the ground during lag or when you logged in and fell through the world.

Zombies that are 1 block above the ground and then do jumps until they somehow reach the ground is something I have seen.

Thankfully I unlocked the next trailer just before this happen so not all is lost for my game save but it'd of really sucked had I not, would hate to restart, only to fear it happening again.
