Acacia Patience Bishop was 19 months old when she was taken from her great-grandparents’ home in Salt Lake City, Utah, on May 25, 2003, during what was supposed to be a supervised visit. Her grandmother, Kelley Jean Lodmell, left the house with Acacia after the great-grandmother briefly left the room. They were seen the next day near the Snake River in Idaho Falls. Lodmell, soaking wet, told people Acacia had drowned after being dropped while they dangled their feet over the water. Some of Acacia’s belongings were recovered on the riverbank, but her body was never found despite extensive searches that included shutting down a nearby hydroelectric plant. Lodmell, who had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and later said she had attempted a murder-suicide, was charged with kidnapping and murder and was acquitted by reason of insanity in 2005. Authorities have classified the case as a homicide, though Acacia’s family believes she might have been given to someone before Lodmell’s custody and continues to seek information about her whereabouts.

Did anyone who lived near the Snake River or traveled the riverbank in late May 2003 see anything that could help locate Acacia?
