Kaliyah Parker was a little girl from Cleveland, Ohio who was last definitively seen by someone other than her mother at her fourth birthday party on April 21, 2005. Reports place her last sighting sometime in 2006, but the exact date of disappearance is unclear. She was described as having black hair and brown eyes.

Kaliyah’s early life was closely monitored by authorities. When she was born in 2001 she did not go home with her mother; grandmothers and a foster mother cared for her while India Parker completed a parenting plan. India gained custody in 2003 and the family was supervised by Children and Family Services for six months. Concerns grew after India gave conflicting accounts of Kaliyah’s whereabouts, telling people the child was with relatives, in foster care, or had died in an accident involving a bookcase. In December 2011 one person reported Kaliyah missing.

India Parker later told police she found Kaliyah dead in 2006, said she concealed the death, and admitted collecting Social Security benefits in the child’s name for years.

Did anyone in Cleveland around 2005–2006 ever see Kaliyah after her birthday party or have information about where she might have been living?
