Kelsi Jordan Krum, seven months old, and her mother Kelli Jo Krum, 21, vanished from their Arcadia, Florida home on August 11, 1994, while Kelli was in the process of moving to her parents’ home in Sebring. A family member, James Dennis Jimbo Ford, was the last person reported to see them that night; he said Kelli was on the phone and packing when he left around midnight. Neither mother nor child have been seen since.

There were no obvious signs of a struggle, but worrying details include Kelli’s car left in the driveway with its orientation changed, a diaper bag and bottles of formula left behind, and Kelli’s purse and car keys missing while other belongings remained. Foul play is strongly suspected. Ford later became a focus of suspicion, failed a polygraph about the disappearance, and was arrested and convicted for an unrelated double homicide in 1997; searches based on tips produced no evidence linking him to Kelli and Kelsi.

The disappearance remains unsolved and open. Does anyone have memories or information about the Krums, their home that night, or James Dennis Ford’s movements on August 11, 1994?
