I just wanted to add-
The aunt that reported them missing was mentioned in the 2004 "Missing family is not missing" article as saying, “Hamilton said it was her mother and stepfather who were helping her move. She filed missing persons report in 1998”. She commented in the comments section of the article saying, "My name is sue Hamilton. I am the aunt to this family.
Everything I read in this article is wrong , and some of it lies.I never stated to anyone that robbys mom and step-dad helped her move. And we have still not heard from our missing family. According to ABI Cumberland county BC has turned nothing over to them. But invited Faye Hester of ABI to come look at what they had on the case".

The "Missing Family is not Missing" Article
I Can't find that article as being anywhere close to creditable and don't understand why people are taking it as fact.
1.
Names are misspelled or wrong
They spell Sarena's name as "Sarina", and Brenttany's name was spelled as "Brittany". if you are writing an article on a case, at least get the names right! Was this an alias spelling?
They also call Robby Ann Floyd, Robby Glenn Hughes Floyd, which doesn't make sense if her maiden name was Hughes and not Glenn! And also when women are married more than once they likely don't use the past husbands name as their legal name. Is this one of her 14 alias's they claim she has used since 1996?
2.
Some of the facts aren't mentioned anywhere else
Other articles seem to contradict what the 2004 article suggests, the only things seemingly consistent with other sources are that Robby may be using alias's, there were sightings of Jennifer, and they might be hiding out in Alabama. Most sources mention that their SS#'s haven't been used since 1996, so why all of a sudden "“We do know that in 1997 there was a three-month period when her name and Social Security number showed up associated with a company in Arizona"? The article also mentions that the day she disappeared "the Sheriff’s Office tried to summons her for writing bad checks", how come I can't find this anywhere else? Why is it not mentioned on their missing persons case profiles?
3.
inconsistencies with the people mentioned
The aunt that reported them missing says she never mentioned this-> "Hamilton said it was her mother and stepfather who were helping her move". And the article also mentions that Sarena called her father twice after her disappearance. Why didn't anyone get a comment from the father about that? I found in a later article from 2011 where he says, "My gut feeling tells me something's not right. Just for five people coming up missing doesn't sound good from the start". The 2011 article also mentions that, "Glenn is hoping he'll someday see his daughter again, but after nearly 17 years..." Sounds like a worried father, not someone who has had any contact with his child.
4.
The article was poorly written and the grammar is questionable
I'm not trying to insult the writer, but the article is just overall unprofessional. The title isn't Capitalized, some quotes don't have quotations, and a person mentioned in the article says they never even stated what the article claims they said. Was she even interviewed? Or was the information taken from another source that interviewed her?
My theories to what could have happened to them:
1.
They got in a car accident and their van is in a body of water
They got in a car accident their vehicle has yet to resurface yet. Maybe that’s why they never made it to visit their father, and her car has never come up.
2.
They are living under alias's as suspected
She actually did leave and is living under an alias, and maybe the sister came along to help raise her children.
3.
The estranged husband was responsible or they met with foul play
The husband killed the whole family, except his own child. (Kind of hard to kill 5 people and dispose of the remains alone though.)
4. She was moving to be with a significant other (the mystery women helping them move maybe was his mother?)
Since she had never worked, I’m assuming she relied on the men in her life/family to live off of, I’ve seen this before and it’s kind of sad. People that jump from relationship to relationship to survive, I’m not saying Robby was like that, but she had been married a few times, 3 times I believe, and never finished high school or had any work experience. My thought is that with her marriage being estranged and possibly ending she had moved to be with a boyfriend that was helping her hide out. Maybe the unknown “mom” was actually the new boyfriend’s mother?
