Circumstances of Disappearance

Megan Pratt was last seen in Brooksville, Hernando County, Florida about April of 1991. She quietly vanished from her home in woods west of Brooksville, where she lived with her parents. Her grandmother had been told by Megan's mother and stepfather that the little girl had died in a car wreck, but she could find no death certificate, no gravestone, and no hope of anyone being held accountable. She took her suspicions to the Sheriff's Office in 2002. Following up, Hernando investigators questioned Megan's mother, Vicki Anne Schober Grossberndt and stepfather, Jesse James Schober. The two gave conflicting accounts of what happened. Someone who knew the couple told investigators that Megan was dead and buried in the woods. Megan's mother said on a night in 1991, Megan was sitting in her high chair eating and playing with her food like a typical toddler. Megan's behavior infuriated her stepfather, Jesse James Schober, who allegedly struck her on the head, prompting an argument with his wife, investigators said. Schober then gave Megan a bath. When the child began splashing around in the water, he allegedly rammed her head against the side of the bathtub. The blow knocked her unconscious, sheriff's reports said. The next day, Megan was discovered dead in a bedroom. Schober later put Megan's body into a sleeping bag, placed it in a hole and set the body afire.
