It's been six long months since little Lauryn Dickens first disappeared. Her mother told Memphis Police she gave away the nine month old baby girl. Until now the rest of the Dickens family has been silent.

For the first time, Lauryn's grandmother opens up about what her daughter says happened to Lauryn and why she believes her granddaughter is alive.

The disappearance of nine month old Lauryn Dickens quickly grabbed the attention of the mid-south and even the nation. The beautiful baby girl vanished in September.


"When I saw Lauryn last she was 9 months old and she was a big girl. She was recognizing us and clinging to us and communicating with us," said her Grandmother Tracey Dickens.

Police say her daughter, Shakara, murdered her baby girl. She agreed to speak with us in the presence of her daughter's attorneys, Arthur Horne and Murray Wells, in her first public statements.

"The situation was so shocking. We didn't want to talk to the media. We didn't want to be on camera in all of our devastation and our grief," Dickens said.

Tracey says that grief is still being felt by her family.

"Our family has been enduring unimaginable pain. There's no greater torture than when an infant is missing. You just don't know what's going on or what she may be suffering."

Police reports say 9-month old Lauryn was last seen alive around the sixth of September. Dickens says her daughter and grandchild lived with her. But, when the grandmother went on a Labor Day weekend trip, she returned to find her daughter had suddenly moved out of her home and into a Raleigh Apartment Complex. The move caused a rift between Tracey and Shakara Dickens. She says she didn't realize Lauryn was missing until a week later.

"She told us the same thing she told everybody else. That's the reason why we went to the police. I know the story sounds amazing but Shakara was in a very difficult place at that time, having full responsibility for both children and trying to live on her own."

On September 15th, Tracey says she took her daughter Shakara to the police. Shakara reported her daughter missing, telling investigators she gave her baby to a woman she didn't know at the direction of Lauryn's incarcerated father, Benjamin Norfleet.

"After that it was just hard to communicate with Shakara. She cried a lot. She never said any more."

According to police reports, Shakara says she told Norfleet she couldn't take care of baby Lauryn.

Tracey said Shakara also told her she was having a hard time raising both of her children.

"Those were personal discussions but mostly she was asking for help because being a teenager with limited income and a toddler, it's a lot to be responsible for," she explained.

Investigators didn't believe Shakara's story. Records show Shakara hadn't spoken to Benjamin Norfleet since late August. In fact, police say Shakara blocked all his calls from the jail. We were there September 21st, as police searched Shakara's Raleigh apartment and brought out evidence. A copy of the search warrant says a cadaver dog found the odor of decomposing human remains inside.

"I don't know how the dog works. Shakara had been in the apartment for a little over a week, anything could have died in there as far as I'm concerned," said Tracey.

When asked if she believes Lauryn is alive Tracey Dickens responded, "I pray everyday that she is." She would later say, "my hope is that someone knows where the baby is and they'll show up with her soon."

Lauryn is part of the Center for Missing and Exploited Children Database. Investigators say they continue to follow leads but have not found Lauryn.

Shakara's lawyers maintain her innocence saying without a body and new evidence the prosecution doesn't have a case. Shakara Dickens remains behind bars, held on a two million dollar bond

Bianca Jones

Volunteers will return to the neighborhoods of Detroit Saturday to resume the search for missing Bianca Jones.

Volunteers are scheduled to meet at 11 a.m. Saturday at Metropolitan Methodist Church.

Official searches ended on Sunday for the 2-year-old girl after nothing was found.

Bianca has been missing since Dec. 2. According to her father Dandre Lane, he was carjacked when Bianca was in the car and she was taken.

Since Bianca went missing the case continues to develop. On Monday, sources confirmed cadaver dogs had a hit inside the home where the little girl lived. Then on Tuesday, a warrant request was issued for Bianca’s father. And on Wednesday, Local 4 spoke with a witness who said Bianca was still alive the night before and morning that she disappeared, and that he was with the father just hours before he reported the carjacking.

The prosecutor’s office tells Local 4, they will not file any charges until next week.

Elizabeth's body was discovered in the Mississippi River on February 14, 1987; the victim of homicide. At the time, no one had a clue who she was. Investigators classified her as a Jane Doe and buried the body in a pauper's grave. Seven years later, relatives from Nashville made a call to the St. Louis Police Department looking for Elizabeth. They discovered Elizabeth was the Jane Doe. At that point, it was determined Cherie was no where to be found so police opened a missing child investigation.

To locate the child police searched for the stepfather. They found him in prison on unrelated charges. He told police Cherie was living under a new name with his family members in Kansas City and refused to disclose her whereabouts.
Cherie has never been seen nor heard from again. She was supposed to be returned to relatives who received custody of her after her mother's murder.

Rilya Alert: Toni Danielle Clark

Rilya Alert: Toni Danielle Clark
Missing since March 16, 1990
from San Bruno, San Mateo County, California.


•Date Of Birth: June 4, 1972
•Age at Time of Disappearance: 17 years old
••Medical Conditions: Clark was two months pregnant at the time of her disappearance.



Circumstances of Disappearance
Clark had been visiting friends and family in a rough neighborhood of Oakland on March 16, 1990. Her cousin recalled that Toni had trouble starting her boyfriend's car as she was getting ready to head home. Her car stalled on the Bay Bridge, and by the time it was reported to the California Highway Patrol, it had been hit from behind by another motorist.
Police believe Toni was in front of her vehicle when it was struck, and that she was thrown into the water below. Toni's body was never recovered from the bay, even though Coast Guard rescuers began their search within six minutes of the collision.
The Highway Patrol consulted an expert who said the body would have followed the tide out to the Golden Gate Bridge, and a few weeks later the case was closed.
Witnesses on the bridge gave police conflicting statements about the person they saw near the car. Some remembered a black man looking under the hood. Others saw a man walking away from the vehicle. And no one actually saw a body go over the railing, only the wreckage of her car after it was struck.
In the car itself, a bracelet Toni never removed was found along with the keys to the car lying on the passenger side floorboard.
Clark's mother received a telephone call from a girl she believes was her daughter one week following her disappearance. The girl was crying on the line for approximately 40 seconds before the call was terminated. Police were unable to trace the call.

Classification: Endangered Missing

Vital Statistics
Age at Time of Disappearance
: 5 months old
Distinguishing Characteristics
: Hispanic male. Black hair; brown eyes.
Height and Weight
: 25 inches; 15 lbs

Circumstances of Disappearance
Marlon Santos, disappeared from his Worcester foster home in 1998. He had been placed in the home in August 1998.
The foster mother didn't report the baby missing for two days. Investigators were told was that the foster mother left the baby and two other foster children, ages 2 and 3, in the house alone while she drove eight miles to East Middle School and back to pick up two of her biological children. She told police that when she returned, the baby was gone. Her husband was out of town. His wife had picked him up in New York before reporting the baby missing.
Within a month, the foster father was charged with multiple counts of child rape of previous foster children.
The baby's birth mother had been in and out of a local shelter and, by some accounts, often left the child with friends and strangers for days at a time.
The baby's birth father had sought custody of the baby.
In the first year after the baby's disappearance, police received information that Marlon could be found along the banks of the Wachusett Reservoir in Holden. A search turned up a baby blanket, diaper and several other items of interest, but the infant's remains were never found.
Despite a rumor that the child was sold, possibly in New York, the district attorney has operated primarily on the theory that Baby Marlon is dead. No charges were ever lodged in connection with Marlon's disappearance and he has not been found.

NEW BRAUNFELS , TX



Search lines of New Braunfels community members combed the surrounding fields of Klein Road Elementary School Saturday morning and afternoon searching for 18-month-old Joshua Davis.

Joshua disappeared from the family home on the 2600 block of Savannah Hill Circle around 8:30 p.m. Friday, according to a news release by New Braunfels Police Department Lt. Michael Penshorn.

Penshorn said the family notified police about 15-20 minutes after noticing Joshua was missing

Although police officials have questioned Joshua’s parents, Sabrina Benitez, 21, and Josh Davis, 23, other family members present at the time of Joshua’s disappearance and residents in the Savannah Hill Circle neighborhood, family friends are suspicious of a neighbor.The Texas Department of Public Safety’s sex offender registry lists five people who live within a one-mile radius of the house, including one man on Savannah Hill Circle.

“The sex offender has been interviewed, and we have also conducted searches on his residence and vehicle. As of right now, we have nothing to believe he’s involved in this case,” Penshorn said.

Family friend Lee Jackson said, “There was one of (Joshua’s) toy balls found at the end of the block. It was on top of some mailboxes. There’s no way he got it up there by himself.”
