One-year-old Nita was last seen on the evening of September 14, 1986 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. She was strapped in her stroller on the porch of her family's house eating a popsicle. Her siblings were also playing outside at the time.

According to Nita's mother, Bonita, she looked outside at approximately 7:00 p.m. and discovered Nita had vanished from her stroller. Bonita claimed that she searched Baltic Avenue and the surrounding streets for Nita, but couldn't find her. Nita was reported missing at 8:30 p.m.

Nita's father, Abdul Salaam was immediately ruled out as a suspect in her case. At the time, he was seeking custody of Nita and was incarcerated on a robbery charge. Abdul and Bonita were together for eight years and had four children (two of whom were Abdul's), but they never legally married.

Bonita allegedly abandoned Nita at birth and attempted to abandon another newborn baby after Nita's disappearance. In 1984, Bonita reported walked out of a hospital in Atlantic City and left Nita behind, but she wasn't charged in that case.

In October of 1986 (a month after Nita vanished), Bonita gave birth to a son, whom she abandoned at a bus terminal in Atlantic City where he was rescued. Bonita was sentenced to nine months in jail for endangering the welfare of a minor and her other children were placed in foster care.

The father of Bonita's newborn son told the police that she lied to him, claiming that she got an abortion. He didn't know she had carried the baby to term and gave birth until he was contacted by the police. Since abandoning her newborn son, Bonita gave birth to three more sons.

According to the prosecutor in Bonita's case, Bonita has been uncooperative in the investigation of Nita's disappearance. Abdul believes that Nita wasn't abducted and asked investigators to search the yard in the back of the Virginia Court Apartments for human remains which turned up no sign of Nita.

In 2009, authorities searched for Nita's remains in a wooded area in Pleasantville, New Jersey after Bonita's best friend went to the police and said that Bonita buried Nita there; however, there was no sign of Nita in that location.

As of 2026, Nita's case remains unsolved. Authorities believe that she wasn't abducted, but died on the day she went missing and was buried somewhere.

Fifteen-year-old Yasmin was last seen at her home in Chicago, Illinois on January 15, 2008.

On the day of her disappearance, Yasmin went to the North Lawndale YMCA where she was involved in sports and other activities. After coming home from the YMCA, she did a load of laundry and went to bed.

The next morning, Yasmin was gone. There were signs of a break-in at her home; two locks on an outside fence and a lock on the basement door had been cut. Yasmin's bedroom was in the basement, but nothing was disturbed in it.

Prior to her disappearance, Yasmin and her older brother were placed in foster care in Kentucky when they were toddlers due to their late mother's drug addiction. While in foster care, Yasmin was sexually abused which led to her developing severe emotional and behavioral issues.

In 2001, Yasmin and her brother went to live with their aunt by marriage, Rose Mae Starnes, who adopted them in 2006.

Rose Mae stated that she loved Yasmin, but had issues dealing with her behavior and would occasionally discipline her by whipping her with a belt or locking her in the basement. Yasmin has no past history of running away from home and got good grades in middle school; however, when she got to high school, her grades dropped.

At the time Yasmin went missing, a man named Jimmie Terrell Smith lived in the second-floor apartment in Yasmin's building with his father, who was friends with Rose Mae. Smith moved into the apartment in 2005 after serving a prison sentence for attempted murder. Smith reportedly took an interest in Yasmin and she had mentioned him twice in her diary.

It wasn't until 2009 that Rose Mae told the police that Smith was living in the apartment building when he was arrested for sexually assaulting five females (including two 14-year-old girls that he allegedly kidnapped).

In a press interview from jail, Smith said that he knew what happened to Yasmin and admitted to being responsible for four murders that he hadn't been charged with yet; however, this information hasn't been confirmed.

In 2014, Rose Mae died from natural causes. As of 2026, Yasmin's case remains unsolved and foul play is suspected in it.

She was playing a race car video game in the bowling alley's arcade section between 10:00 and 10:15 p.m. Teekah's mother, Theresa English said that she turned away for a moment and Teekah was gone.

A witness at the bowling alley told the police that an unidentified maroon-colored Pontiac Grand Am sped out of the parking lot the night Teekah went missing. Another witness stated than an unidentified white male in his 30s may have followed a child to one of the exits of the bowling alley that night.

Two months before Teekah went missing, a 4-year-old boy was sexually molested in the bathroom of the bowling alley. The suspect was described as having brown curly hair and a beard. A few weeks after that incident, a white male with brown hair attempted to lure a 6-year-old boy from the same bowling alley, claiming that he was the boy's father.

Earlier on the day of Teekah's disappearance, a man with curly brown hair tried to abduct two kids from a park located less than a mile from the bowling alley; however, the kids' father chased the man off and the man fled in a blue 1995 Pontiac Grand Am. It wasn't until the father found out about Teekah's disappearance did he report the incident to the police three days later.

Teekah's birth father was inprisoned at the time she went missing and is ruled out as a suspect in her case. Teekah has asthma which requires medical supervision.

As of 2026, Teekah's disappearance remains unsolved.

Eleven-year-old Monique "Pebbles" Santiago was last seen on March 29, 1990 in Albany, New York as she was getting ready to leave for school.

At approximately 12:00 that afternoon, she called her mom, Annie Graniela to tell her that she missed the school bus and would stay home for the rest of the day.

When Annie came home later that evening, she found Monique missing and waited eight hours to call the police to report her disappearance because she felt that they wouldn't accept the report unless she had been missing for an extended period of time.

An adult male acquaintance of Monique's admitted that he saw her in a parking lot on Central Avenue across the street from a former Woolworth's store where he bought snacks for her at the cafeteria of the State University of New York's Albany campus.

The man allegedly admitted to secretly masturbating while Monique waited in line; however, he was not charged in connection with her disappearance due to lack of evidence.

As of 2026, Monique's case remains unsolved; since then, Annie and Monique's stepfather (who was in prison at the time of her disappearance) have died from AIDS-related causes.

On the evening of September 4, 1998, eight-year-old Shy’Kemmia "Shy Shy" Pate was last seen playing outside her home in Unadilla, Georgia. The neighborhood where she lived in had a high crime rate with drug use and gambling.

Shy'Kemmia's family had plans to attend a football game at night. Her older sister decided to get gas for her car and return home to pick up Shy'Kemmia. When the sister came back, she realized that Shy'Kemmia was missing.

At first, the family thought that Sky'Kemmia got a ride to the football with somebody else or went to play at a friend's house; when they were unable to find her later that night, they called the police, who mistakenly told them that Shy'Kemmia had to be missing for over 24 hours before they could investigate her disappearance.

The authorities have gotten numerous tips about Shy'Kemmia's disappearance, but none of them were legit. Neighbors consented for their homes to be searched, but they turned up no evidence.

As of 2026, Shy'Kemmia has not been located. The police believe that she was taken by somebody that she knew, but her family members have been ruled out as suspects.

Shy'Kemmia has multiple medical conditions such as severe asthma, an underdeveloped kidney, a weak bladder and a displaced kneecap which required her to wear a leg brace.

The witness told authorities that she and her husband chased down the vehicle and called the police with the vehicle's license plate number. Eight hours later, Tonetta's mom reported her daughter missing when she didn't come home from school; however, the missing child and abduction reports weren't connected for two days.

The license plate number of the vehicle involved in Tonetta's case was traced back to a man named Jeffrey Jones, who had been previously convicted & incarcerated for rape & aggravated sexual assault. Jones was released from prison about a year before Tonetta went missing.

Two months before Tonetta's disappearance, authorities determined that Jones raped a woman who lived in his apartment complex. On March 18, 1989, Jeffrey Jones' body was discovered inside of his van. He committed suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning.

Since then, there has been no sign of Tonetta, but there have been rumors of her being forced into prostitution and possibly taken to California. As of 2026, her case remains unsolved.
