Jessie Flo Stuart was 2 years old when she vanished from Honeydew, California, on December 10, 1977. She was last seen that day with her mother, Mary Stuart, and younger sister, Fannie, after the three left home in a red Opel station wagon to run errands in nearby towns, including a stop at a television repair shop and possibly an optometrist. They were expected home before dark and never returned.

About a month later the family’s station wagon was found abandoned on an old logging road a few miles from the house. The car still contained groceries, laundry and the repaired television, but there were no signs of the family. Despite searches, Jessie, her sister and her mother have never been found. Foul play is suspected. Mary’s husband, Byron Stuart, was considered a prime suspect because of a violent history and erratic behavior, but he was never charged and died in 1996. The case remains classified as endangered missing.

Does anyone who lived in or traveled around Honeydew in December 1977 remember seeing the red Opel or the Stuart family that day?
