Monique Rae Smith was one month old when she disappeared from Topeka, Kansas after leaving home with her mother, Jennifer Lancaster, and older sister, Sidney Smith on May 12, 2000. The three left around 8 p.m. to visit a male acquaintance but never arrived. Jennifer’s 1994 Jeep Cherokee was found abandoned at an apartment complex shortly afterward; the children’s car seats, keys and other personal items were missing from the vehicle. Jennifer had been living with her mother and sister, and her mother recalled Jennifer quietly moving some belongings out before the disappearance.

Law enforcement classifies the case as endangered missing. Despite extensive investigations and the release of age‑progressed images over the years, there has been no contact from any of the family members and their whereabouts remain unknown. Does anyone have information about Jennifer Lancaster, Sidney Smith, or where Monique Smith might be now?
