I posted this in tipofmycrime also, but gonna give it a whirl here too -

I think I heard this on the Crimelines podcast, but can't find it on there. Can't remember state it happened in, but I think took place in the 80s. Mother and father have 2 kids, boy and a girl. Divorce. Mom keeps kids away from dad. She remarries man, I think he also has kids. They suddenly moved away. Dad tries to find them, police won't look for them since the mother has them, and don't consider it a kidnapping. He looks for years and years. I believe the brother and him eventually get in contact. I think the brother remembers a carpet being rolled up, or maybe just an odd box or something the night they just up and moved. No record of the girl since she went missing. Police interview mom and she's not concerned about her daughter's whereabouts. I think she was eventually charged with a relatively minor crime associated with it. I think the mom and step dad were also divorced at that point, but she still defended him. I think the mother tried to say that she was sent to live with relatives, but obviously wasn't true. The brother tried to get his mom to talk about it, but she refused. I think the girl was pretty young, like 5 or under. It's driving me nuts. Some cases that come up when I try to google, but aren't it are - Chris and Lisa Mae Zacharias and Elaine Yates. Possibly heard it on the Vanished podcast, but don't regularly listen to that one.
