Amanda Kay Jones was 26 and 32 weeks pregnant when she disappeared from the Hillsboro Civic Center parking lot in Hillsboro, Missouri, on the evening of August 14, 2005. She was last seen around 5:00 p.m. sitting in her blue 1997 Pontiac Sunfire; the car was later found unlocked and abandoned in the same lot with her purse inside but her keys, wallet, and cell phone missing. The last activity on her phone was an incoming call at about 1:15 p.m. that day. Investigators noted the car’s air conditioning was broken and found it unlikely she would have stayed in the vehicle in the August heat. There has been no activity on her credit cards or phone and no record of her having delivered the baby in a hospital.

Police focused on a male acquaintance, Bryan Lee Westfall, the last known person to see her; he said they spoke for about an hour in their cars and that she was on her phone when he left. He allowed a limited search of his property but was never charged. The case went cold and the family later filed a wrongful death suit in October 2021. The disappearance of Amanda and her unborn son, Hayden, remains unresolved. Does anyone with knowledge of Hillsboro in 2005 or who knew Amanda or Bryan have information to share?
