Two girls, 7-year-old Hanna Lee and 5-year-old Skye Rex, went missing from Waynesboro on March 17, 2020.

The case, stretching across multiple cities in the northeastern United States, will be featured in Discovery's In Pursuit With John Walsh. 

The most recent episode, airing at 10 p.m. Sept. 1 on Investigation Discovery and streaming on discovery+, will feature a segment on the missing girls, according to a news release.

John Walsh, along with a team from Investigation Discovery, brings viewers along as they track down fugitives on the run and find missing children.

"Each week, John Walsh leads viewers through unsolved violent crimes that urgently need to be closed – where time is of the essence and harnessing the power of ID’s active and engaged audience could bring these criminals to justice," a press release about the show read.

In partnership with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, the series will also feature two missing children each hour, providing age-progression photos and descriptions in the hopes that viewers can provide new leads to their whereabouts.

Hanna and Skye are thought to be in the company of their mother, Lashada Lee, who is believed to have abducted them after losing a custody battle. Authorities think that she and the girls may be in the Washington, D.C., or Baltimore areas.

Discovery encourages any viewers with any information on their whereabouts to call or text 1-833-3-PURSUE or to submit online at its dedicated hub at InPursuitTips.com.
