Mom and two babies: disappeared with their boxes unopened. A 20-year-old mother left home with her two babies, and her cell phone was left on the table. Twenty-five years later, neither she, nor her daughters, nor a single answer. What happened that night in Topeka, Kansas? In this episode, the mysterious disappearance of Jennifer Lancaster and her daughters, Sydney and Monique, in the year 2000 is examined. Jennifer's life before the disappearance, the details of the night she was last seen, and the impact of a silence that has stretched over decades are explored. What does it mean that her belongings in boxes also disappeared?
