Lamoine's family traveled to the Woodville, Mississippi area on May 10, 1992 to attend a Mother's Day church service and dinner. The family lived in Edgard, Louisiana at the time. Lamoine was last seen playing in front of the Jimmy Jackson Grocery Store at approximately 4:00 p.m. with his friend Kreneice Jones. The store was approximately four miles east of Woodville, Mississippi on Highway 24. Both children disappeared and have not been seen again. An unidentified blue compact car with a false convertible top, chrome hubcaps and dark-tinted windows was seen in the area at the time the children vanished. It is not known if the vehicle is connected to their disappearances.

Lamoine and Kreneice's families were friends. The children were at the grocery with twenty other people. Lamoine was there with relatives he lived with in Edgard, Louisiana, and Kreneice was there with her father; her parents had separated. The children's cases remain unsolved.
