Monica Bennett was 15 when she and her younger brother Michael were last seen in Brunswick, Georgia, in late spring 1989. The siblings went to help their stepfather move into a new apartment at the Heritage Apartments on Altama Avenue on a Wednesday in June; that afternoon is the last confirmed sighting. Accounts of what happened afterward vary. The stepfather later gave different versions, saying in one account he dropped them at their mother’s house, which she denies, and in another that the children ran out of his apartment and he did not know where they went. Days after the disappearance he moved to Alabama.

The case was initially classified as a runaway and remained so for many years, which delayed a fuller investigation. In the early 2000s the siblings were reclassified as endangered missing and the Glynn County Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation became involved, but significant leads have not emerged. Monica’s older sister recalls Monica saying she didn’t want to go home shortly before the disappearance, a detail the family finds troubling.

Did anyone in Brunswick in June 1989 remember seeing Monica or Michael, or know more about their movements after they left Heritage Apartments?
