Lucy Rebecca Meadows, age two, was reported missing from the Rivergate Mall parking lot in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, on July 25, 1995. She was described as having brown hair and brown eyes and was last seen wearing a blue denim dress, white socks, and white canvas shoes. Her mother, Yong Meadows, said she let Lucy out of the back seat on the driver’s side and then went around to the passenger side for packages; when she looked back, Lucy was gone.

Investigators found inconsistencies in the mother’s accounts, including how long Lucy was out of sight and which mall she initially named. Yong reportedly failed two polygraph exams and became uncooperative. A witness who was a family member and 12 at the time later told investigators they saw Lucy at the parents’ home the night before she was reported missing, appearing lifeless and wrapped in a blanket while adults panicked. A brown or champagne-colored minivan was seen in the mall parking lot but was never identified. No charges have been filed and the case remains classified as a non-family abduction; county investigators have also considered that something may have occurred at the family home in Montgomery County.

Does anyone have memories of that day at Rivergate Mall or information about the minivan that could help this cold case?
