The disappearance of Solitaire Meissmer involved a widespread and much-publicised search between 2004 and 2006 in the Thai province of Phang Nga in north Phuket, for a child victim (born in early 2001) of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. In addition to the photograph, several eyewitnesses had reported the girl alive during the week after the tsunami. On 1 April 2006, it was reported on the homepage created for the child that a new and independent DNA analysis confirmed the result of the identification made the previous year.
