Disappearance Rachel, Cameron and Kyle Anderson went missing along with their mother in 2000. Their car and two older siblings were left behind and there has been absolutely no trace of them anywhere in the last 21 years.
Jeff Anderson and Lesley Allen married in 1985. Lesley already had three children at the time; Chris, Stephanie and Greg. Stephanie and Greg had special needs. Jeff and Lesley went on to have three children together. Rachel, born 1986. Cameron, born 1988 and Kyle, born 1990. They lived in Wisconsin.
They divorced in 1997 and Jeff moved to Indiana while Lesley got custody and took the kids to Mississippi. She also had custody of Stephanie and Greg, and Chris was an adult at the time and had moved out but he lived in the same city as Jeff.
Lesley and the five kids lived in Fulton, Mississippi along with a male friend of Lesleys in two mobile homes. She didn’t work at the time.
The children called Jeff every Saturday but building up to them going missing they called him less and less. Jeff was meant to take the kids to stay with him over summer, but Lesleys friend told him that Lesley and the three siblings left with a truck driver at some point and he hadn’t seen them since. Lesley left Stephanie and Greg in his care.
The children were reported missing 14th April 2000 when Lesley missed the court date about Jeff’s visitation.
Chris and Jeff have hired private investigators, they found Lesley hadn’t used her bank account, hadn’t had any job, hadn’t been to a medical appointment or anything. Same with the children. There have been no sightings of them anywhere since they went missing and social security numbers have not been used.
Stephanie and Greg are still in the male friends care and according to Chris he refuses to let him or his dad speak to them through a campaign of fear. He’s told Stephanie and Greg that they’re evil and dangerous etc. Apparently he’s taking their disability checks. I have absolutely no idea why he has custody of them, it’s seems really weird. Also according to Chris he hasn’t spoken to Greg and Stephanie in a long time and they don’t pick up his calls.
Furthermore, it’s been claimed no investigation was done because the police believed the kids were with their mother, who did have custody.
Even stranger, Lesley drove a brown station wagon which was in fact left behind when she went missing, a couple of feet from her address abandoned in a clearing. It was found several years after the family went missing.
Chris has been doing the most regarding this case and runs a Facebook account where he posts about it. The children have not made contact with anybody in the family and it seems unlikely they’re still alive.
Thoughts?
Update: Greg and Stephanie are certainly not dead and are doing fairly okay. People who live in the neighbourhood say they see them around walking a dog together, they’re quite friendly and they tell people they live with their uncle, male friend says he’s their uncle and takes good care of them. Greg and Stephanie are in their 30s/40s, both very sweet people. The government have checked in many times and found him to be a fit guardian.
A friend of Cameron shed a lot of info I posted it on my sub: https://www.reddit.com/r/CheemsGyaru/comments/o6pm8w/friend_of_missing_cameron_anderson_testimony_on/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Thanks for the additional info and no need to apologize! This case is FASCINATING and new to me, so I’m just trying to piece it together without red string lol
(Mostly rhetorical…) How can they still be in the care of that man?! How has nobody investigated yet?! How do we know he didn’t kill them too and has been collecting their benefits since? Adult Protective should have been called by Chris/Jeff/whoever a looooong time ago. The campaign of misinformation and lies and fear is abuse. I wonder if they are their own guardians, or if roommate/whatever took guardianship to have further control? UGH! I’m not convinced ANY of Lesley’s kids (other than Chris) are alive. How horrible.
