Martha Lambert was 12 when she was last seen in Elkton, Florida, on the evening of November 27, 1985. She left the family’s mobile home and was reported by her mother to have gone to a nearby friend’s house; she never returned and an immediate family search turned up no clues.

Investigators at first considered that Martha might have run away, a theory later discounted as detectives pursued other leads including the possibility of foul play. A notable development came years later when Martha’s brother, David Lambert, made statements claiming involvement in her accidental death and burial. Police were unable to locate physical evidence to support his account.

The case remains open and unresolved, and Martha’s family has not received closure. If anyone knew Martha, her friends, or saw anything in Elkton around November 27, 1985, please share what you know with investigators.
