Two-month-old Shausha Latine Henson and her sister Shaina Ashley Kirkpatrick were last seen April 4, 2001, leaving Portland, Oregon, with their mother, Kimyala Henson, and two companions: Christina Noel Mayer and Mayer’s boyfriend, Frank Lee Oehring. The group said they were traveling to Canada; they first went to California where Kimyala obtained a copy of her birth certificate.

About two weeks later Mayer and Oehring were found dead in Florida in an apparent murder-suicide. A letter from Oehring described a plan to steal Kimyala’s identity, and Mayer had been using Kimyala’s identification in Las Vegas. On April 29, 2001, Kimyala’s body was found near Fernley, Nevada; a hatchet with her blood was located in Mayer and Oehring’s vehicle. There is no evidence the children accompanied Mayer and Oehring to Florida, their car seats have never been found, and the birth certificates for both children are missing.

Investigators have raised possibilities including that the children were harmed or sold, but their whereabouts remain unknown. Does anyone have information about where Shausha or Shaina might have been taken after April 4, 2001?
