Jahi Marques Turner
Last seen in San Diego, California on April 25, 2002
Vital statistics: Black male. Born on February 10, 2000. Black hair; brown eyes. He
is ambidextrous, has a light complexion and suffers from eczema in
the creases of his body. Last seen wearing a long-sleeved blue shirt imprinted
with images of Winnie The Pooh and Tigger, blue nylon cargo pants with
an orange drawstring and gray Air Jordan shoes. Was two when last seen.
Circumstances: Jahi was last seen in Balboa Park in the Golden Hill
area near 28th Street and Cedar Street on April 25, 2002. The
playground is near the 2800 block of Beech Street. His stepfather,
Tieray Dewayne Jones, said that he left Turner near the sandbox while
he purchased a soda from a nearby vending machine. Tieray stated that a
woman and two children were near the area at the time. When he got back, Jahi had vanished. The woman has been
identified; she provided unspecified information relating to Turner's
case. Some believe that Jahi was murdered by his stepfather or
otherwise accidentally killed due to diary entries Tieray had written
at the time. 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 by most agencies.
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.
