Haunting final surveillance pictures show family with toddler who vanished on camping vacation after trip to Walmart
A MISSING family were spotted in eerie surveillance footage before they vanished after a trip to Walmart in chilling footage released by cops.
Nicholas Hansen, 38, Jill Sidebotham, 28, and their two-year-old daughter Lydia seemingly vanished after they supposedly left for a camping trip on June 27.
The only other sighting that police confirmed was on July 2, at a Walmart in Mexico, Maine.
The Sanford, Maine Police Department posted surveillance footage online of the family at the Coos Canyon Campground in Byron, where they were camping.
The footage shows both parents carrying their daughter, Lydia who’s wearing a red top.
The mother is wearing a black T-shirt with a green design on it, glasses and light-colored shorts.

While the child’s father is wearing a red tank top with a white design on the back, and gray shorts.
Sanford Police Lt. Matthew Gagne told Fox News that store workers did not spot anything unusual about the family.
“We don’t have any evidence to believe that this is a kidnapping or some sort of abduction,” Gagne told Fox.
Police say that with assistance from the Maine Warden Service, they have employed aircraft to search for the family.
The mother was expected to return home with Lydia on June 30.
According to a Facebook post shared by Ron Sidebotham, Jill’s father, Hansen and Sidebotham are not together.

They were last seen by Jill’s family on June 27, when Hansen reportedly asked Jill Sidebotham to go camping with him.
Her Facebook account indicates that Sidebotham left behind her 10-year-old son and her fiancé.
“Please anybody! It’s been days and it’s not Jill’s nature at all to just disappear,” Ron Sidebotham posted on Facebook.
“We’re so very worried for the two of them.”
‘SO WORRIED’
As The Sun has previously reported, Corey Alexander, who is Jill’s fiancé, said the trip was “unexpected and makes zero sense.”
Alexander told The Sun Jill texted him she loved him on June 29 via Facebook.
“I’ve never been in so much pain,” he said.
“I’m completely lost without her. It’s just tearing me apart.”

“Our relationship is perfect and has a strong foundation,” he wrote on Facebook.
“She never hid anything from me. So the fact that she said nothing and just up and left without a word is very out of place and not like her.”
