Sharon Garecht, a California mother, is also hoping a nosy neighbor or concerned community member will speak up and help find her daughter.

On November 19, 1988, Michaela Garecht was kidnapped from a neighborhood market. Police say her disappearance could be linked to Garrido, Jaycee's alleged abductor.

More than 20 years later, Sharon still remembers the last moments she shared with her little girl. "It was a Saturday morning, the first day of Thanksgiving vacation, and she and her best friend had asked if they could go to our neighborhood market to get some treats," Sharon says.
