Jaquilla Scales

When Mattie Mitchell was watching her great-grandchildren at their Wichita, Kansas home, she decided to lie down and go to sleep with them. After all, what could be safer than keeping the little ones close? But when Mattie woke up at around 3 am on September 5, 2001, her four-year-old great-grandaughter, Jaquilla Scales was gone. Mattie wasn’t sure what had happened, just that Jaquilla had disappeared while she and Jaquilla’s two-year-old brother Marcus peacefully slept. An intense search was launched, but Wichita Police weren’t able to find the little girl. If she had wandered off, surely she would have been found. Now, for over 20 years, Jaquilla’s family has been searching for answers, and begging the world not to forget the boisterous little girl who vanished in the middle of the night.If you have information regarding the disappearance of Jaquilla Scales, you’re asked to contact WPD investigators at 316-268-4379 or email the Cold Case Unit at [email protected].
