Have you seen me? The Missing Chronicles

Amber was last seen at approximately 6:00 p.m. on December 18, 1997 in her hometown of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Her mother spoke to her on the phone while she was at a friend's home and told her to come home. She left her friend's residence and was last seen riding her blue ten-speed bicycle in the 3000 block of northwest 45th Street at the time. Amber was on her way to her home home in the 3100 block of northwest 39th Street. She never arrived and has never been heard from again.

Amber's bicycle was discovered abandoned in Denniston Park in Oklahoma City on December 19, the day following her disappearance. The bike was located near northwest 27th Street and Drexel Boulevard, which is one mile from her home. Amber's sweater, shoes, one sock and a ring were found along Drexel Boulevard and northwest 12th Street on December 20. One of her shoes was a block away from the other one.

Investigators stated that blood, hair and fiber evidence was discovered near Amber's possessions. There were blue fibers on her sweater, as well as vomit mixed with possible ejaculate. There was a speck of blood on her shoe, but the blood spot was so small that authorities could not link it to any specific person. Authorities were able to form a partial DNA profile for an unknown man from the evidence on the sweater.

Steven was last seen playing with his family's two dogs in the 2100 block of Holly Drive in Benton Harbor, Michigan on February 15, 2001, between seven and eight p.m. He was about half a block away from his residence in the 2100 block of Holly Drive at the time of his disappearance. He has never been heard from again.

Tabitha was last seen by her family at approximately 7:00 a.m. on April 29, 2003, when her father woke her up in their home in the 1300 block of Lillian Street in Nashville, Tennessee. She was watching television when he went to work.

She was supposed to board the school bus at 8:00 a.m. at 14th & Boscobel Streets. Witnesses saw her walking in that direction. She was reading some papers as she walked and didn't appear to be in a hurry, or looking for anyone.

Tabitha did not get on the bus and never arrived at Bailey Middle School two miles away. Her parents contacted the school that evening when she failed to return home. When they found out she had been absent from school that day, they reported her missing shortly before 6:00 p.m.

Sarah Kinslow, from Greenville, Texas, disappeared when she was just fourteen years old. On the morning of May 1, 2001, Sarah was dropped off at school, which was the last time her family ever saw her. At the end of the school day, her parents were notified that she had not attended any of her classes. After speaking to her friends to try and figure out where Kinslow went, they told her that she was supposed to skip school that day to meet them at the East Mount Cemetery to hang out, but that she never showed. Worried, this is when her mother notified the police. 

During the initial search, police gave a tracker dog a piece of her clothing to pick up a scent. Her scent was found where her father dropped her off at school and her scent created a trail around the school and down two blocks, where her scent suddenly stopped in the middle of the street. Police believe this is where she may have gotten into a car and left. A teen witness claimed that they saw her in a light blue truck driven by a white male with dark brown hair and a pencil mustache at 3:30 p.m. that day. 

Although only fourteen at the time, Sarah was in a relationship with an 18-year-old male, of whom her parents did not approve. Curtis Wayne Bell, her boyfriend at the time, was a resident of Quinlan, Texas, and was one of the people she was supposed to meet the day that she went missing. After her disappearance, police discovered that the two had been sexually involved, and although the couple might have considered it consensual, she was not of age to give consent. Her diary contained entries that explained her love for Bell and how she wished to run away with him. According to her mother, she was not prepared to be gone for an extended period as she didn’t take her purse or any of her belongings and had never run away before. Many of her friends failed polygraph tests regarding her disappearance.

Margaret Ellen Fox was last seen on June 24, 1974, after travelling by bus to meet with a man who called himself "John Marshall" and had advertised for a babysitting job.  Margaret was planning to go by bus to Mill and Main Streets in Mount Holly, New Jersey, to have an interview with this man about babysitting his young son.  The man's phone number was later traced to a pay phone in a local supermarket.  Margaret was seen getting on the bus in Burlington, New Jersey, at approximately 8:40 a.m. en route to Mt. Holly, but she has never been heard from again.

Shane was last seen at Martin Luther King Jr. Towers' playground in Manhattan, New York on August 10, 1989. Shane was sitting on a bench eating potato chips with his mother, Rosa Glover, when two children approached him and asked if he wanted to play. Rosa allowed the children, a ten year old girl and her five year old brother, to push Shane on the swing while she sat nearby.

While the children were playing on the slide, a man sat down beside Rosa and began speaking to her about crime. He mentioned abduction; saying "things happen to children". Rosa then got distracted by looking at the man's scars, which he claimed were from fighting, and when she looked up the children were gone.

The children returned through a hole in the park fence. After they explained that they'd left Shane in the park Rosa immediately took them to the police station to report her son missing. 

Etan Kalil Patz (/ˈeɪtɑːn ˈpeɪts/; October 9, 1972 – May 25, 1979) was an American boy who was six years old on May 25, 1979, when he disappeared on his way to his school bus stop in the SoHo neighborhood of Lower Manhattan. His disappearance helped launch the missing children movement, which included new legislation and new methods for tracking down missing children. Several years after he disappeared, Patz was one of the first children to be profiled on the "photo on a milk carton" campaigns of the early 1980s. In 1983, President Ronald Reagan designated May 25—the anniversary of Etan's disappearance—as National Missing Children's Day in the United States.

Decades later, it was determined that Patz had been abducted and murdered the same day that he went missing. The case was reopened in 2010 by the Manhattan District Attorney's office. In 2012, the FBI excavated the basement of the alleged crime scene near the Patz residence but discovered no new evidence. Pedro Hernandez—a suspect who confessed—was charged and indicted later that year on charges of second-degree murder and first-degree kidnapping. In 2014, the case went through a series of hearings to determine whether or not Hernandez's statements before he received his Miranda rights were legally admissible at trial. His trial began in January 2015 and it ended with a mistrial that May, when 1 of the 12 jurors held out. The retrial began on October 19, 2016, and it was concluded on February 14, 2017, after nine days of deliberations, when the jury found Hernandez guilty of murder and kidnapping. Hernandez was sentenced to 25-years-to-life in prison on April 18, 2017. Hernandez will not be eligible for parole for 25 years.[4]

Karla was last seen at approximately 7:00 p.m. on October 20, 1999 in the 800 block of Bonita Avenue in Las Vegas, Nevada. She went to visit a neighbor's son to play with him, but the neighbor told her to go home because it was getting late. She played outside alone for about fifteen minutes before leaving on her bike.

The location was two blocks from her family's home and also near the Stratosphere Tower in downtown Las Vegas. Karla never returned to her house and has not been seen again.

She wasn't reported missing until the next morning. Her father spoke to the neighbor who saw Karla, assumed she must have gone to another friend's house, and went home to bed. The next morning, when she still wasn't home, her mother called the school to see if she'd gone there for classes. The school principal called the police at this time.

Cherrie Ann Mahan (August 14, 1976 – disappeared February 22, 1985; declared legally dead November 5, 1998) was an eight-year-old American girl who disappeared on February 22, 1985, after disembarking a school bus approximately fifty feet from the base of the driveway to her home in rural Winfield Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania. She was officially declared dead in November 1998. Mahan's abduction is strongly believed not to have been committed by a family member.

Mahan's disappearance is one of the most infamous unsolved missing child cases in the United States.
