Nicholas Vincent Smith was 11 when he vanished from Las Cruces, New Mexico, on February 23, 1991, together with his mother, Edyth Ann Warner. They lived in student housing at New Mexico State University, where Edyth was an art student. On the day they disappeared Edyth reportedly told her husband, Henry Warner, that she and Nicholas would be staying with a friend; her car and her 3-year-old son, Andrew, were left behind. Henry filed a missing persons report a week later.

Family members and Nicholas’s father, Ron Smith, say it would have been uncharacteristic for Edyth to abandon Andrew or for Nicholas to cut off contact, and there has been no activity on their Social Security numbers or requests for Nicholas’s school records. Authorities told investigators in 2008 they believed foul play was involved, but no suspects have been named. Both remain missing and the case is unsolved.

Did anyone in Las Cruces in February 1991 have contact with Edyth or Nicholas, or remember where they said they were going?
