Disappearance of Katheryne Mary Lugo


On Jan. 8, 1994, 4-year-old Katheryne Lugo was last seen by her mother Frances Moya at 5:30 a.m. when she left for work. She was left at their home in Riviera Beach, Florida with her mother's boyfriend's sister. Katheryne was nowhere to be seen when Frances returned home.

According to Frances, her boyfriend Misbah Kazi threatened her. He told her that he'd sent Katheryne to Bangladesh and wasn't coming home until he got their baby who was due soon. At the time Frances was 8-months pregnant and was about to end their relationship. He was mistreating her and Katheryne throughout their relationship. In 1992 she sought an injunction against him for domestic violence.

After both Frances and Misbah were questioned by police it led to police believing Frances. They were convinced that Misbah took Katheryne to force Frances to give up custody of the unborn child. He was then arrested and charged with kidnapping, but at trial, he was acquitted. His sister had recanted statements that she saw the girl with her brother. Frances suspected that his family had something to do with Katheryne's abduction.

Even though Misbah was acquitted the FBI kept the case open and tracked him. He remained the main suspect and they hope he would lead them to Katheryne. Months after the acquittal he started threatening Frances over the phone with promises, never fulfilled. In 1995 he was arrested for attempted murder in California and was sentenced to life in prison. 

Misbah has been offered several deals but remains tight-lipped about what had happened to Katheryne.

It's possible that Katheryne may not be in Bangladesh and is somewhere in the U.S.

Katheryne is a Hispanic female and was 4-years-old at the time.  She was 3'0" and 65lbs. She has brown hair and brown eyes. She has pierced ears and a nickel size birthmark on the hamstring of her right leg. She may use the alias name Parag Khondokar and/or the alias date of birth of January 2, 1989.

She was wearing a purple and white Barney The Dinosaur shirt and underwear.
