Jaquilla Evonne Scales, a 4-year-old girl from Wichita, Kansas, went missing on the night of September 5, 2001. She was last seen asleep in her bed at approximately 12:30 a.m. at her home on North Volutsia Street. By 3:00 a.m., Jaquilla was discovered missing, and despite extensive searches, no trace of her has been found.
At the time of her disappearance, there were no signs of forced entry into the home, no signs of struggle, and the family's dog did not bark, leading to initial
uncertainty about what might have happened. The back door of the house was broken and unable to lock, which may have played a role in her disappearance. Jaquilla had been living with her great-grandmother, younger brother, and two uncles. Her mother, Eureka Scales, was staying at a friend's house that night.
The investigation into Jaquilla's disappearance remains unsolved, with authorities unsure whether she was abducted or if other factors may have been involved. Social workers initially removed Jaquilla's younger brother from the home due to concerns over the living conditions, but he was returned to his mother's care three years later. Despite the years that have passed, her mother continues to believe that Jaquilla may still be alive.
Jaquilla was described as a talkative child who had just started preschool the day before her disappearance. She was known for wearing colorful barrettes and had a favorite doll that could turn over by itself. Despite the ongoing investigation, the case has not seen any significant developments, and Jaquilla remains missing.Last Seen: Sep 5, 2001
