"John joins the search for Celina Mays, whose disappearance draws police attention to her allegedly cult-like church
1) The father of Celina Mays' child was never revealed
2) Celina's paternal and maternal families had an ongoing conflict at the time
However, her father ultimately won the trial and then moved to New Jersey, leaving behind Florida to find religion in their new community.
3) A theory connected her disappearance to her family's church
Investigators claim that several members of the church, that was headed by Cerita Smith, Celina Mays' paternal aunt, came forward and asserted that Smith had total control over both the church and the Mays family.
Smith has seldom made public comments and has even refused official demands to inspect the house and church property.
4) Authorities suspect that Celina could still be alive
They do, however, think that it's also possible that she was murdered years ago and that her life was tragically snatched away when she initially went missing.
5) Celina Mays spent a wholesome evening with her family before her disappearance
Her case remains one of the most high-profile cases in the state, with authorities still looking into her disappearance.
