On the late afternoon of June 21, 1989, 14-year-old Michael Anthony Bennett and his 15-year-old sister Monica were last seen at about 5:00 p.m. at the Heritage Apartments on Altama Avenue in Brunswick, Georgia. The siblings had gone there to help their stepfather, who was separated from their mother, move from his apartment. The stepfather later gave conflicting accounts of the evening, at times saying the children ran out of his apartment and at other times saying he left them there and they were gone when he returned. A few days after the disappearance he moved to Alabama.

For many years law enforcement classified the case as a runaway, and investigators did not conduct a thorough search while the family maintained the teenagers would not have left without personal belongings. The family’s situation was unstable at the time; parents had recently separated and the household was preparing to move. One older sister recalled Monica expressing fear about going home and saying she had something important to tell someone. Investigators reopened the file in the early 2000s and in 2005 the siblings’ status was changed to endangered missing. Foul play is now suspected, but no solid evidence explaining what happened has been found.

Does anyone who knew Michael or Monica, or who lived in Brunswick in June 1989, have information that could help clarify their last hours?
