A family in Trenton, New Jersey, has had no known contact with a young woman who disappeared more than three decades ago. Maylene Kaynea Martin was 20 when her loved ones last saw her in 1991. Despite the passage of time, little about the circumstances surrounding her disappearance has been made public.
Her case has only recently appeared in national missing person databases, bringing renewed attention to a disappearance dating back to April 28, 1991. The Trenton Police Department in Mercer County is investigating her whereabouts.
