On August 1, 1997, two-year-old Shoshana Kaila Black vanished from Holbrook, Massachusetts. She was described as having blond or strawberry-blonde hair, brown eyes, about two feet, ten inches tall and roughly 40 pounds. Authorities treated the disappearance as a familial matter rather than a stranger abduction and alleged Shoshana had been taken by her non-custodial mother, Karen Debra Black.

Karen, then about 44, was later the subject of a federal warrant for Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution issued May 11, 1998. Investigators believed Karen may have left the country with Shoshana, possibly traveling to Israel, and the case drew national attention including age-progressed images circulated by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. In April 2019 it was reported that Shoshana had been found and was safe, bringing resolution to a disappearance that began in 1997.

If anyone knew Shoshana or Karen, lived near Holbrook in 1997, or has releasable information about that period, please share it with the appropriate authorities.
