Warner, an art student, disappeared with her son, Nicholas Vincent Smith from their Las Cruces, New Mexico residence on February 23, 1991. They were living in University Park, the student housing section of New Mexico State University, at the time with Edyth's second husband, Henry Warner, and their young son Andrew.
Her husband filed a missing persons report seven days later. He told police the couple had been having marital problems and that his wife told him she and Nicholas, her son from a previous marriage, were going to stay with a friend temporarily. They left their home by foot the day they disappeared. Warner left behind her car and 3-year-old son, Andrew.
According to family and friends this is very uncharacteristic of her. Neither has been seen or heard from again. There are concerns for their safety.
There has been no activity on their Social Security numbers, nor request for school records.
