Kamelia Maria Spencer was 2 years old when she was taken during a supervised visit in Palmdale, California, on December 20, 1999. The visit was arranged with her non-custodial father, Derek Spencer, and her paternal grandmother, Helen Gruning, and had been moved from the California Department of Social Services to the Funland amusement center at Derek Spencer’s request. During that visit Kamelia was taken by her father and grandmother, and all three disappeared soon afterward.

Warrants were issued for Derek Spencer and Helen Gruning in 2000 amid concerns they may have fled the state or the country and could be armed and dangerous. Investigators at the time considered Las Vegas a possible destination but found no confirmed sightings. The case is classified as a family abduction and remains unresolved; no significant leads have been reported.

Anyone with information about Kamelia’s whereabouts or who remembers the December 20, 1999 visit is asked to come forward.
