Be respectful. Abuse of these forums will not be tolerated.

Jessica R. Leininger was six years old when she was taken from Bentonville, Arkansas, on November 23, 1988. The last confirmed sighting was at her maternal grandmother’s residence, where her mother—who did not have legal custody—removed the child and left. Jessica was described as a small girl with brown hair, blue eyes, and about 3 feet 6 inches tall.

Prior to the removal, Jessica’s father had been granted legal custody amid a contentious dispute that reportedly included allegations of abuse. The incident has been classified as a family abduction. Both Jessica and her mother vanished after that day and were never seen or heard from again.

Investigators and the family have been hindered by a lack of information about the mother; details and photographs of her are not available, complicating efforts to locate them. Does anyone have memories or information about Jessica, her mother, or their movements after November 23, 1988?
