Jennifer Lancaster and Her Two Children Missing Over 20 Years
It has been over two decades since Jennifer Lancaster and her two daughters, Sidney and Monique Smith, vanished in Topeka, Kansas, on May 12, 2000. Jennifer was 20 when she disappeared with her two daughters, one-year-old Sidney, and five-week-old Monique.
Jennifer’s Jeep Wrangler was found empty in the small parking lot of a southeast apartment complex one week later. The case has baffled missing children experts and law enforcement alike.
Wrong Crowd
Jennifer grew up in the southeast Highland Park area of Topeka. She started hanging out with the “wrong crowd” and getting into trouble. She transferred schools to Topeka West High School, where she graduated in 1998.
At 19 years old, Jennifer gave birth to Sidney on March 22, 1999. Monique followed on April 5, 2000.
Jennifer worked at a bar called Remington’s, along the Topeka Wanamaker corridor, and at Baby Doll’s, an adult club south of Topeka, before her disappearance.
Jennifer resided with her mother, Vicki, and her sister Jessica Lancaster at Misty Glen Apartments & Townhomes, where Jennifer lived in the basement with her daughters.
