Angela Mack and Thomas ”Mikey” Rettew

In 2002, 20-year-old disappeared Angela Mack disappeared from a small town in northern Arkansas called Salem. It may have been September, but some people say it was later in the year. She wouldn't be reported missing for many months, or maybe even years. Her four-year-old son, Thomas "Mikey" Rettew, also vanished, but missing persons flyers note that he vanished from Missouri and the date he was last seen is uncertain. Supposedly, there's a photo of the child that is date stamped well after September 1, 2002, but nobody knows for sure. In fact, no one seems to know when or where Angela and Mikey were last seen, or who was the last to see them. Nearly twenty years have passed since a young mom, and her son were last seen alive, and then seemingly forgotten. Today's episode brings into focus the stories of two people who appeared to simply stop existing, and it seemed as though no one cared. Angela's loved ones hope that a renewed interest in the case will help them find Angie and Mikey.

If you have any information about the disappearance of Angela Mack or Thomas Rettew, you are asked to call The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST or 1-800-843-5678.
