Description

In the early hours of April 6, 1986, a knock echoes through a quiet apartment in Gallup, New Mexico. Nine-year-old Anthonette Cayedito disappears from her bed - no struggle, no forced entry, just gone. What unfolds is a nightmare of haunting clues: a frantic phone call a year later from a girl begging for rescue, cut short by a man's angry voice and a child's scream: a waitress in Nevada who believes she waited on a captive teenage Anthonette clutching her hand and slipping a desperate note; a mother whose stories shifted over time and whose chilling words to the FBI still echo; and a mysterious man who showered the little girl with gifts before vanishing himself. Almost 40 years later- with Anthonette turning 49 this Christmas-her sisters refuse to give up hope, and the case remains active. This is one of the most heartbreaking and perplexing child disappearances in America. What really happened to Anthonette Cayedito?
