Sidney Keara Smith was 1 year old when she disappeared from Topeka, Kansas, with her mother, Jennifer Lancaster, and her 1-month-old sister Monique on May 12, 2000. The three were last seen leaving their home about 8:00 p.m. to visit an acquaintance but never arrived. Jennifer’s 1994 Jeep Cherokee was later found abandoned in an apartment complex parking lot; baby car seats, keys and other personal items were missing from the vehicle.

Investigators interviewed Sidney’s father but developed no substantial leads. Authorities reported that Jennifer had been removing personal belongings from her residence before the disappearance, and noted it was unusual that she never contacted family or friends afterward. There is no definitive evidence of foul play, and the case remains unsolved and listed as an endangered missing person; age-progressed images of Sidney and her sister have been released over the years with no major leads.

If anyone saw the Cherokee, the family, or has information about their whereabouts in May 2000, can you share what you know?
