Hemangini Kulshreshtha was 1 year old when she was last seen on August 4, 2007, in Sacramento, California. Authorities classify her disappearance as a family abduction; investigators believe her non-custodial mother, Rashmi Kulshreshtha, took Hemangini and her older brother, Yashaswi, despite legal custody being held by the children’s father at the time.

Hemangini is described as an Asian female with black hair and black eyes, about 3 feet tall and 30 pounds at the time of the disappearance, with a birthmark on her back. She may also be known as Hema. Law enforcement, including the Santa Clara District Attorney’s Office, has pursued the case and released age-progressed images, but few details have surfaced and the children were never returned. Investigators believe Rashmi may have fled to India, which has complicated efforts to locate them.

If anyone has information about Hemangini or her brother’s whereabouts, please come forward to assist the ongoing investigation.
