Garnell Monroe Moore was 10 years old when he was last seen in August 2002 in Baltimore while staying with his paternal aunt, Belinda Cash. Garnell had been informally cared for by relatives after his mother was incarcerated and his father led a transient lifestyle; Cash had looked after him from about age six but never held legal custody.

A great-aunt saw Garnell playing outside Cash’s home on Harlem Street in August 2002. In the weeks after, family members found that Cash had moved and could not be reached. No one was able to account for Garnell’s welfare over the following years, and he was not reported missing until July 2005. Cash told police she had abandoned Garnell at a social services building, but there are no records or witnesses to corroborate that claim and investigators found no solid leads.

Garnell’s whereabouts remain unknown and the case is open. If anyone knew Garnell, his living situation in 2002, or has information about Belinda Cash’s moves that year, please share what is known.
