Brenttany Nicole Hughes was four years old when she was last seen in December 1996 at her family’s home on Winter Park Drive in Fayetteville, North Carolina. She is biracial, with black hair and brown eyes, and had a heart condition shared with her twin brother, Brent. Her disappearance is tied to the simultaneous disappearance of her mother, Robby Ann Floyd, older half-sister Sarena Glenn, and teenage aunt Jennifer Hughes.

A neighbor reported seeing Robby hurriedly load boxes into a blue van and say she was taking the children to Alabama to visit an ill father; an unknown woman introduced as Robby’s mother was with her, although Robby’s actual mother later said she had not visited in years. Robby allegedly called her husband, Jason Allen Floyd, from Alabama and promised to call again; no further contact followed. The family was not reported missing until August 1998. There has been no activity on any of the five Social Security numbers, Robby’s license has expired, and the van was never reregistered.

The case remains unresolved with few leads and no confirmed sightings. Did anyone living in Fayetteville or along routes to Alabama notice the blue van or the family in late 1996 or early 1997?
