Three-year-old Jewel Mahavia Strong was last seen on May 28, 2006, on a raft with an adult cousin when it overturned in the waters off Jetty Beach at Saint Andrews State Park in Panama City Beach, Florida. The cousin was rescued but Jewel disappeared. A two-week search by land, air, and sea found no trace of her.

Authorities with the Bay County Sheriff’s Office have consistently concluded she most likely drowned and was carried out to sea, but no body has ever been recovered and the case remains officially unsolved. Jewel was a resident of Morrow, Georgia, at the time. Her parents, Ray and Simona Strong, believe she was abducted and say they have identified multiple possible sightings on surveillance video at locations including a J.C. Penney and a Golden Corral in Jacksonville and a Walgreens in Orlando. In September 2007 investigators identified the child in the Orlando Walgreens footage and confirmed she was not Jewel.

Does anyone have information about Jewel’s last day at Jetty Beach or possible leads on the reported sightings?
