National Center for Missing & Exploited Children Take on Jewel Mahavia Strong’s Case
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children agreed to take on the case of missing Jonesboro, Ga., toddler, Jewel Mahavia Strong, who went missing in Panama City, Fla.’s Saint Andrews State Park in May 2006. Florida authorities declared the child a drowning victim although eyewitness reports of the activities near the time of her disappearance have been inconsistent.
“We have been praying for someone like the case worker at the National Center,” said Simona Strong, who along with her husband Ray left their daughter with relatives while they were away on a business trip at the time of their daughter’s disappearance. “We have been receiving leads from people who claim to have seen our daughter and with the support of such a robust organization like theirs, we know those leads will be followed. We have to believe our daughter will be returned to us safely. The investigation of this case is riddled with problems and inconsistencies.”
On May 28, 2006, three-year-old Jewel was placed on a purple raft with her 18-year-old cousin Kendra Myrick in the kiddie pool at the park during family reunion festivities. While there were no eyewitnesses to the account, a strong current pulled the raft through a small opening into the open waters where Myrick was thrown overboard. The raft and Myrick were recovered. The toddler was not. According to the family, the authorities confirmed that no one could absolutely account for the Jewel’s whereabouts at the time the raft entered the open waters.
A grassroots search effort was immediately launched by the family, precipitating one of the strongest leads to date: a March 2007 videotape showing an eerie likeness to the toddler in the company of three unknown Black women some 280-miles away in a Jacksonville, Fla. restaurant. Other leads have flooded the parents email and voicemail inboxes, most reporting sightings throughout Florida. Simona and Ray Strong relocated to Jacksonville and plan to stay there until their daughter’s case is solved.
The NCMEC’s mission is to help prevent child abduction and sexual exploitation; help find missing children; and assist victims of child abduction and sexual exploitation, their families, and the professionals who serve them. NCMEC has assisted law enforcement personnel with more than 133,000 missing child cases, resulting in the recovery of more than 115,700.
