Alicia Breann Versluis, a 3-year-old girl, was last seen on May 7, 2000, in Pomona, California. Alicia's mother, Simona Denise Demery, initially reported that Alicia wandered off while they were at Ganesha Park. However, Alicia's twin sister later provided a different account, alleging that Demery wrapped Alicia, referred to as "Sissy," in a jacket and placed her in a drain.
Following Alicia's disappearance, authorities investigated the family’s living conditions and found them to be deplorable, with unsanitary conditions and minimal food available. Both Demery and her boyfriend, Jeffery Jones, were charged with endangering Alicia and her twin sister. They were later convicted of second-degree murder, child abuse, and conspiracy in connection to Alicia's disappearance. Despite several searches, Alicia's body has never been found, and both Demery and Jones were sentenced to 33 years to life in prison.
The case remains open, with foul play strongly suspected, though Alicia's remains have yet to be recovered.Last Seen: May 7, 2000
