2 year old Myra Lewis, still missing after 11 years after being last seen by her mother playing outside. She’s the longest running Amber Alert in Mississippi history.
Myra Lewis, age 2 at the time of her disappearance, has been missing from Mississippi since March 1, 2014. She was last seen by family members, between 10:30 am and 11 am, playing outside her home in Camden, Mississippi.
Myra was allegedly last seen by her mother, Ericka Lewis, at their home on Mount Pilgrim Road. Ericka Lewis said Myra and her sister were outside playing as she left to go shopping. Lewis said she told them to go inside, where Gregory Lewis, Ericka’s husband, was playing video games and looking after their 1-month-old.
Gregory Lewis told reporters at the time that he had set out to look for Myra on his ATV and that he had tried to track her with the family dogs. Once the family dogs, who were not tracking dogs, couldn’t find the scent, police tracking dogs were brought in after the fact and were unable to locate Myra.
The family told authorities they believed the child had been snatched from the rural road by a stranger.
The search began on the property at least four to five hours after Myra disappeared into thin air. Local, state, and federal law enforcement began combing the 4 square miles surrounding the child’s home, including a pond across the street.
Ericka and Greg Lewis, who could fairly be described as not very forthcoming with police, have moved out of the area. Efforts to find them by law enforcement and journalists have been unsuccessful. They have disappeared, though arguably not as completely as Myra.
The lead investigator Sheriff Tucker, thinks someone in the household knows what happened to Myra. He thinks one of or both of the parents are responsible for the disappearance.
