Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP4958) and 8 other sources
Myrisha Faye Campbell, a 3-year-old girl from Goliad, Texas, went missing on September 6, 1958, along with her 11-month-old brother, A.J. Campbell Jr. The children were last seen when their father, A.J. Campbell Sr., took them for a scheduled visitation. However, he never returned them to their mother, Jewel Campbell, who had recently separated from him due to his abusive behavior.

A.J. Campbell Sr. picked up the children in a friend's car and drove off, claiming he had left them with relatives. Shortly after, he made a phone call to a minister, implying he had killed the children and buried them. The next day, his body was found near Austin, Texas, in what was determined to be a suicide. A note left for his estranged wife confirmed that he had "buried both children," but no details about their location were provided.

Despite extensive searches, neither Myrisha nor her brother A.J. has ever been found, and their fate remains unknown. Over the years, family members have continued to search for answers, holding onto the possibility that the children might have been given away rather than killed. The case remains open and unsolved.
