December 3, 1989: Melissa Brannen Disappears
Disappearance of Melissa Brannen
The disappearance of Melissa Brannen occurred on December 3, 1989 at the Woodside Apartments in Lorton, Virginia. She was the five-year-old daughter of Tammy Brannen, a single mother who lived in the complex. She disappeared while attending a party held at the complex for its residents. A handyman for the complex was convicted in her kidnapping and sentenced to 50 years in prison. Her body has never been found, she was never proven to be dead, and murder charges were never filed.
The story of her disappearance was told on The FBI Files in the sixth episode of the first season.

I've never seen that episode, but the series is on (seemingly) every night.
