case details:

Lesley and her husband, Jeff Anderson, split up in 1997. Jeff Anderson moved to Rising Sun, Indiana and Lesley Allen Anderson moved to Itawamba County, Mississippi. Jeff Anderson had legally adopted Lesley’s older children, Chris, Stephanie, and Greg. Jeff and Lesley also had three children of their own, Rachel, Cameron, and Kyle. 

When Jeff and Lesley separated, Chris was old enough to move out on his own and did so. Stephanie and Greg, who are both mentally handicapped, moved to Mississippi with their mother. Rachel, Cameron, and Kyle also moved with their mother to Mississippi. 

In the divorce agreement, it was decided that the children were to call their father every Saturday. The calls became less and less frequent over time. Jeff Anderson was attempting to work out details for his visitation with the children during the summer of 2000, so he tried making contact and was told that Lesley had left with the children and had not told anyone where she was planning to go. Lesley’s roommate told Jeff that she left with a truck driver and had also left Stephanie and Greg behind in his care.

The vehicle that Lesley supposedly was driving at the time was later seen on the land where she and her children were living in Itawamba County. Few details are available regarding the disappearance of Lesley Anderson and her children.
