Circumstances: He was last seen in Balboa Park in the Golden Hill area near 28th Street and Cedar Street.

The woman has been identified; she provided unspecified information relating to Turner's case.

No evidence has been unearthed that Jahi met with foul play, however. His stepfather is currently imprisoned on an unrelated drug charge. Classified as a Non-Family Abduction.

Reason for inclusion: Jahi's case was closed in January 2004 for unknown reasons. He remains missing. It was opened again several years later, but he remains here as our inspiration.
