Vital Statistics
Circumstances of Disappearance:
Jonnie said that because she had a personal restraining order against Larry, she could not drop Bethany off with him on weekends. So on Friday, March 2, 2001, Jonnie said her sister, Bethany’s aunt, took Bethany and dropped her off with her father for the weekend. According to Jonnie, Bethany and Larry spent the weekend in both Gleason and a few hours away in Little Rock, Arkansas. Jonnie said she spoke with her daughter on Sunday morning, March 4. She was last confirmed to be seen the day before in Little Rock, AR.

After approximately two hours passed, Bethany's father went into the mall to look for his daughter, but was unable to locate her.
