Jennifer Pandos was last seen in the Kingsmill area of Williamsburg, Virginia on February 10, 1987. Jennifer apparently left in the middle of the night through a sliding glass door on the patio. The following morning when her mother wenet to wake her up, Jennifer's bedroom door was locked. After her parenets forced their way into the room, they found Jennifer gone.
A handwritten note was found on her bed. The note said:
"Your daughter's with me. She'ss fine. She's having some problems and needs some time away"
Then, the note switched to the first person:
I'm fine, I just need time to think. Both of you please go to work tomorrow cause I will try to call you. I won't call you at home, only at one of y'all's work." "Do not call the police. I can easily find out if you do. I may never come back home. Don't tell my friends about this. Just tell them that I'm sick"
It did not look like Jenny's handwriting, but at the time, police thought the left-handed girl might have written the note with her right hand. Jennifer's mother and her husband followed Jenny's instructions at first, but then notified police when she didn't call.
Officials now believe the note was written by someone else.
