Three-year-old Jamel Montrice Williams was last seen the late morning of May 25, 1994, reportedly playing on the back steps of his mother’s apartment in the Weiler Homes housing project in Toledo, Ohio. His mother, Kelly Williams, said she went inside for about five minutes to change a diaper and returned to find Jamel gone. He was described as biracial with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing a blue t-shirt, shorts, and blue sneakers that day.

Investigators found no evidence of a stranger abduction and quickly turned attention to Kelly and her live-in boyfriend, Gary Thomas, whose cooperation was described as limited; both initially refused to provide DNA samples. Neighbors reportedly did not recall ever seeing Jamel at the apartment, and there’s reportedly no evidence he had lived there. About a month after the disappearance, a relative accused Thomas of violence when she raised Jamel’s case; Thomas denied involvement and Kelly defended him.

The Toledo Police Department and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children have kept the case open and released age-progressed images. With no witnesses or physical evidence reported, Jamel’s disappearance remains unsolved. Did anyone in Toledo see Jamel or remember the Weiler Homes neighborhood in 1994?
