Sarena Natoya Glenn was 11 years old when she vanished from her family home on Winter Park Drive in Fayetteville, North Carolina, around December 1, 1996. She is described as biracial with black hair and brown eyes. She disappeared along with her mother, Robby Ann Floyd; her younger half-siblings, twins Brent and Brenttany Hughes; and her mother’s teenage sister, Jennifer Jane Hughes.
A neighbor reported seeing Robby hurriedly load boxes into a blue van and was told they were going to Alabama to visit an ailing father. Robby reportedly called her husband, Jason Shane Allen Floyd, from a motel in Sylacauga, Alabama, and said she would call again; relatives in Alabama say the family never arrived. An unidentified woman introduced as Robby’s mother was said to be present, but Robby’s actual mother later denied visiting.
The group was not reported missing until August 1998. Investigators at one point treated the disappearance as voluntary, noting that Robby was due to be questioned about worthless checks the day she left, and the case was closed in the 2000s. Later concerns arose when there was no activity on the five missing persons’ Social Security numbers, and Sarena’s father, Jerry Glenn, has said he fears foul play.
Does anyone have information about the Winter Park Drive household in late 1996 or the blue van seen that day?
