Jahi Turner was 2 years old when he was last seen or reported missing in San Diego on April 25, 2002. He had been in the care of his stepfather, Tieray Jones, while his mother, Tameka Jones, was deployed with the U.S. Navy. Tieray told investigators he took Jahi to a park near their Golden Hill apartment and briefly left the child unattended to buy a drink; when he returned, Jahi was gone.

Searches were conducted in the neighborhood and at nearby landfills, and the case attracted national media attention, but no trace of Jahi was found. Inconsistencies in Tieray’s account and lack of witness confirmation that Jahi was seen at the park led investigators to treat the disappearance as suspicious. Jahi’s whereabouts remain unknown and his family continues to seek answers.

Did anyone in the San Diego area at the time have information about Jahi’s routines, the Golden Hill park, or the day he vanished?
