Wilman and his brother Oliver disappeared from Lennox, Missouri on May 31, 2009. They were abducted by their non-custodial mother, Jetta Kae Midyett. A photograph and vital statistics for Jetta are posted below this case summary. A felony warrant for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution was issued for her on September 8, 2009.

Jetta accused the boys' father, Jason Midyett, of sexually abusing Wilman. She stated Wilman had told her and his maternal grandmother about the abuse. The court ruled that Jetta's claims were unfounded, and when she refused to allow Jason access to the children, they took custody away from her and gave it to Jason. Jason stated Jetta was very close to her family and he believes they know her whereabouts and assisted in her flight. Her family denies this. Investigators did search Jetta's parents' farm, but didn't find anything of interest.

Jetta and her sons may have left the state. Oliver and Wilman's whereabouts are unknown and their cases remain unsolved.
