On June 21, 1989, 15-year-old Monica Renita Bennett and her 13-year-old brother, Michael Anthony Bennett, vanished from Brunswick, Georgia. Their last known location was the Heritage Apartments on Altama Avenue, where they were reportedly helping their stepfather, Robert L. George, prepare for a move to Alabama. Despite initial assumptions that the siblings had run away, their disappearance remains unsolved, with foul play now suspected.
Monica and Michael's family situation was intricate. Their mother, Deborah George, was separated from Robert L. George at the time of their disappearance. Monica was living with her biological father, while Michael resided with Robert's first wife and his half-siblings. This arrangement followed allegations of sexual abuse against Robert, which Monica had reported earlier that year.
In early 1989, Monica confided in her older sister, Shelia Wigfall, about being sexually abused by Robert. Shelia took Monica to a school counselor, and the matter was reported to the police. However, Deborah dismissed the allegations, believing Monica fabricated the story to avoid living at home. Despite previous incidents suggesting Robert's inappropriate behavior, no further action was taken by authorities.
On the afternoon of June 21, 1989, Robert picked up Michael from his ex-wife's home, with Michael reportedly reluctant and in tears. He then collected Monica from her father's residence. The trio was last seen at Robert's apartment complex, where the children visited their aunt before disappearing.
