Update in the Bianca Jones Case - 4/23/12

On Tuesday, April 17th, DeAndre Lane was arrained in court for the murder of his 2 year old daughter, Bianca Jones.

Lane's 8 year old daughter was at his home on December 2, 2011. She was on the witness stand on Tuesday to tell her side of the story. She mentioned a time when she herself, wet the bed and Lane became upset. He held her panties in front of her face and stuffed them in her mouth as a punishment. Other members of Bianca's family knew that Lane had an issue with his children not being potty trained or wetting the bed. It appears that perhaps this was the cause for him harming Bianca on December 2nd.

The 8 year old also stated that she got dressed for school that day and waited in the living room for her dad to drop her off. She said that Bianca was in the car seat with a blanket over the entire car seat. Bianca never moved. She said that the baby snored when she slept, but this time there was no sounds at all.

It seems very clear that little Bianca was killed by her father (if on purpose or by accident). DeAndre Lane is covering this up and forensic evidence will tell the story. I'm happy the Detroit Police have Lane in custody and he will be serving a possible life sentence if convicted. At least law enforcement didn't fall asleep on this case.

Bianca's mother, Banika Jones still holds out hope that her baby will come home. She said, "Until they find a body there is hope."

Despite her hope and prayers, I know that Banika knows that DeAndre Lane killed her baby. It's a harsh truth that she and her family are facing. Our prayers are with them.

Where is Teekah Lewis??

Teekah Lewis was a loveable 2 year old who was boasted upon as her mother's little shinning light. Teekah was 2nd to the youngest of 5 daughters to Theresa English. Theresa was a single mother living in Tacoma, Washington. Thresa raised her children to love each other and to be close. Teekah was shy but loved her family. She was known to carry a Winne the Pooh blanket everywhere. And on the night that she was taken from her mother's loving care, Teekah felt brave enough to leave it at home.

On January 23, 1999 Theresa along with her 2 month old daughter, boyfriend and family members went out for a night of bowling at Frontier Lanes in Tacoma. The family was having a good time and Teekah was too. Later that night a lady with 4 men (who did not bowl that night) sat at a table near Theresa and her family. The lady was admiring Theresa's baby niece and asked her sister-in-law to hold the baby. The lady was reluctant to return the baby and it caused a bit of a scene. Theresa's older brother broke it up. And the lady a 4 men continued to sit and watch the bowling.

Teekah want to play the racing games in the arcade area and Theresa took her there to play. Theresa left Teekah there to get her baby and she turned around and Teekah was gone! Theresa would have never guess that her 2 year old daughter was truly GONE! The bowling alley shut down and the search for Teekah extended out to the nearby woods, parking lots and other shopping area. There was no sign of Teekah.

Theresa called her brother who was working as a security guard. He came to assist with the search for Teekah. The police called in the entire family for questioning. At that time, Teekah's father was in jail. And after 24 hours and no sign of Teekah, Theresa had to contact him to let him know that Teekah was missing.

Time passed and there were no leads in the case. Information about other children being sexually assaulted and attempted abductions at the Frontier Lanes surfaced. Apparently, these case were not reported to the public for awareness. Several children were harmed by random men that camped out at the Frontier Lanes for the purpose of assaulting and/or kidnapping children. Perhaps, if Teekah's mother knew this, maybe she would have never taken her family to that bowling alley. The media and police didn't feel the need to shine negative light on this business and sadly, Teekah Lewis fell victim to some sick freak on the prowl. 

 The Tacoma Police department questioned people that worked at the bowling alley and one person came forward with a lead. A woman called and said that she noticed a dark green Pontiac Grand AM speeding out of the Frontier Lanes parking lot around the time that Teekah went missing. We assume that this was indeed the vehicle that abducted Teekah.

Other leads have come up in the case but they were not accurate.

Theresa and her children have held out hope for 13 years. My prayers are with this brave mother. The idea of not knowing where her child (who would now be 15 years old) could be is beyond comprehension.

Teekah Lewis would now be 15 years old. Her mother and sisters miss her very much and needs

closure.

If you have any tips are know the whereabouts of Teekah Lewis, please contact the Crime Stoppers at: Crime Stoppers at 253-591-5959

Keeping on the Watch

I'm happy to see so many people are truly concerned about finding missing children. Websites like Humble 

Opinion http://humbleopinionforum.net/ are dedicated to finding missing children and uncovering the truth behind the story. I have recently found a new website, this young woman covers cases of missing black children. Most cases I have never heard of on the news. In fact I Googled some of the names of children on the website and strangely enough, I couldn't find any info about the cases! The name of the is Forgotten Victims Black Kids Heaven http://www.forgottenvictims.info/index.php?option=com_content&view=featured&Itemid=101

The website is chalked with information about the cases of missing and murdered black children that have not gotten much or any media attention. Several cases were featured on the TV One special series, Find Our Missing. Even though many years have passed since these little ones have disappeared, the public should still be aware of the cases and finding out what happened to these children. A lot of the cases give detailed descriptions of the children and what happened to them. Sadly, some of the bodies have been found in river, lakes, under freeways and over places. However, some of these little victims’ families do not have closure because the killers have not been found. This is why we must keep their little faces in the spotlight with hopes that someone know something about what happened to them.

Please take time to click on both links. If you have any information regarding the whereabouts of any of the children featured, please contact the police department in that area.

Thanks for your continued support!

6 Months of Heartache - Lisa Irwin

Little Lisa Irwin has been missing since October of 2011 and there has been no sign of her. Reading about this really struck a cord in my heart. As a mom I couldn't imagine not seeing my daughter for 6 months. The idea that you don't know where she is or if she's even alive is very heartbreaking. Lisa's family has missed her 1st birthday, Christmas, and with Easter and Mother's Day around the corner the Irwin family is having a hard time.

The family has been cooperating with the police in trying to locating their baby, and this makes it obvious that they most likely are not at fault. My heart goes out to them. This is probably the hardest thing a person could ever face.

Our prayers are with them.

Updates in the Bianca Jones Case

As of yesterday, a break in the missing child case of Bianca Jones was made. Bianca's 32 year old father, De'Andre Lane is being charged with her murder.

Detroit Police say that after a detailed investigation, they have discovered that Bianca was abused the day she disappeared. They did not disclose how she was abused, however, they feel that they have more than enough evidence to charge Lane with her murder. 3 months ago when Lane told police that he was carjacked and Bianca was kidnapped, the Detroit Police was sure the he was lying. Now the truth has surfaced and De'Andre will have his day in court.

This was obvious from the start. Lane used the oldest lie in the book. I can recall at least seven cases of missing children where the suspect told a lie about being carjacked. And just like the other cases, the truth was revealed. I'm not shocked about this because I knew he was guilty. The fact that he felt the need to bring his lawyer into the picture so soon showed the whole world that he was guilty.

Let Justice Prevail!

Find Our Missing - Episode 5 - Evelyn Shelton & Alexis Patterson

 
Evelyn Shelton - 44 year old woman - Spartanburg, SC - missing since May 21, 2011

Evelyn was a kind woman who was the oldest of three children. She was a devoted sister and great friend. However, Evelyn had a problem with holding down a job and a troubled love life. At the age of 29, she was divorced. Evelyn met a man named Stacy Dickinson and she remarried. Evelyn soon fell ill and had to give up her job as a clerk at an insurance firm. She was on disability for over a year. This caused Stacy stress and their marriage was struggling. Evelyn began to get better and was soon back to feeling herself again. She joined a new church and met a man who was married and began an affair. Stacy found out about it and soon divorced Evelyn. Evelyn was heartbroken and left with money problems. She was going to lose her home and decided to take in a roommate. Lori Edwards moved in but Evelyn still had money problems. They later moved into an apartment. Lori saw Evelyn often because they both had an active church life.

Evelyn was known to enjoy male attention and had it often. Sadly though, it was always married men. Evelyn be-friended a man by the name of Johnny Sanders who went to the same church as Evelyn. Friends said that Johnny had an interest in Evelyn and they dated but soon broke up. Evelyn borrowed money from Johnny and they spent lots of time together.

On May 20th of 2011, Evelyn told her roommate that she was going to Johnny's house for bible study on a Saturday night. Evelyn called her cousin on the way to Johnny's house to chit chat. Her cousin advised her not to go there because she was leading Johnny on to think she was in love with him. Evelyn didn't listen and went to Johnny's house.

Lori knew something was wrong on May 21st when Evelyn didn't come home. She then called Tim (Evelyn's brother). Tim went to the police on May 22nd to file a missing persons report. Lori told police where Evelyn went that night and police then arranged to meet with Johnny Sanders. Johnny was sweating and looked sick when the police came to the boarding house where he lived to question him. He told police that Evelyn was reading and got a text message and suddenly said that she had to leave. She was in a hurry, grabbed her things and left. That was the last time Johnny Sanders heard from Evelyn. The police were not sure that Sanders was telling the true. They went to Johnny's apartment to bring him in for a polygraph test. They got to the boarding house and Johnny looks asleep on the bed. As they tried to wake him, they realized that Johnny was dead! The key person in this case has die due to complication with his heart. Johnny was a recovering addict and had diabetes. Apparently, it was just simply his time. Later that week, Evelyn's car was found three block away from Johnny's apartment with an empty gas tank. Then a man who  Evelyn had a planned date with the night after she went missing, found her wallet in a drain pipe not far from where her car was found. Her ID, credit cards and check book were wet but still in tack. Perhaps her disappearance had something to do with the relationships that she had with married men. No one knows what really happened. Evelyn Shelton's case is open and active. However, there have been no leads in the case since she disappeared on May 20, 2011.

If you have any tips on the disappearance  of Evelyn Shelton, please contact the Spartanburg Police department at (864) 596-2376


Alexis Patterson - 7 year old girl -  Milwaukee, Wisconsin - missing since May 2,

Alexis was a bright 7 year old girl who lived with her mother, Iyannaha Patterson and her stepfather Leron. Iyannaha was a single mother at the age of 16. Kenya Campbell was the father of Alexis and he was always in and out of prison. Iyannaha raised Alexis well and took very good care of her. She later met Leron and the two were married. Leron had a son who came to live with family. One May 2, 2002, Alexis wanted to bring snacks to her second grade class at Hi Mount Elementary school. Iyannaha told Alexis to finish her homework the night before. The homework was complete so Iyannaha told Alexis that she could not bring the snacks to school. Alexis was upset but left for school. At 3:00pm on May 2nd Iyannaha said that Alexis never made it home. She asked other children who had gotten off the bus if they had seen Alexis and they all said no. Iyannaha then went to Hi Mount to ask if the teacher knew where Alexis was. the school said that she never arrived at school that day. Iyannaha was in a state of panic! She rushed home to call the police and report Alexis missing. Day after day the police combed the area. The FBI was called out to assist on day five of the search. But there were no leads. The police began to turn to the family for answers. Iyannaha and Leron took polygraph text and questioned. Leron didn't pass the test but Iyannaha did. Rumors began to surface about the case. Kenya Campbell (who was in jail at the time) said that word on the street was that Leron was involved in drugs and Alexis was caught up in "grown folks business".

This is a very common situation when drug trafficking is involved. Children and adults are kidnapped and murdered all the time over drug debits. Leron admitted to having a drug problem. Leron had served time in prison for drug trafficking and robbery. I fact, her was involved in a deadly shooting of a police officer but only served two years in prison because he testified against his partner who was the trigger man.

Years later they have been no leads in the case. Iyannaha and Leron were divorced because she felt that he was hiding information from her. This is a very sad case because this family is deeply hurting for closure.

If you have any tips or information about Alexis Patterson, please contact the Milwaukee Police department at: (414) 935-7263
