Pearl Turner was a three-year-old American child who disappeared from the garden of her family cabin in the White Oak Mountain district of Scott County, Arkansas on October 19, 1923.[1][2][3] Despite intense nationwide publicity and repeated efforts to locate the girl, Turner has never been located. Her ultimate fate remains unknown.[4]

In the fall of 1923 on a Friday while Pearl's parents were camping,[5] Pearl had wandered away into the wilderness. Multiple hundreds of people[6] from nearby towns searched for her for many weeks but to no avail.[7] She is believed by some people to have been kidnapped.[8]
