Edyth Ann Warner, 35, and her 11-year-old son Nicholas Vincent Smith disappeared from Las Cruces, New Mexico, on February 23, 1991. The family was living in student housing at New Mexico State University with Edyth’s second husband, Henry Warner, and their 3-year-old son, Andrew. Edyth was an art student at NMSU who worked in metal art and jewelry-making. In February 1991 she had reportedly asked for a divorce.

On February 23 Edyth told Henry she and Nicholas would stay with a friend; neither was seen again. Her car and young son Andrew were left behind. Henry did not file a missing persons report with the university police until seven days later. Initial reports noted that Edyth had withdrawn $1,000 in cash and a notable amount of gold and silver before vanishing, and investigators did not at first suspect foul play. By 2008 authorities said suspicion had shifted toward foul play, in part because there has been no activity on Edyth’s or Nicholas’s Social Security numbers.

Family members say it would be out of character for Edyth to abandon Andrew and cut off all contact. No significant breakthroughs have been reported and both remain missing and unsolved. If anyone knew Edyth, Nicholas, where they stayed, or saw them around February 23, 1991, please share any information that could help.
