On a cold December morning in 2011, two-year-old Bianca Lily Jones disappeared from Detroit. Bianca’s father, D’Andre Lane, reported a carjacking at gunpoint and said assailants drove off with the toddler in her car seat; the vehicle was found shortly afterward but Bianca was not in it. She was last seen wearing a pink dress, pink tights, a purple coat with gold piping, and pink shoes. Distinctive marks include a dimple on her left cheek, a scar under her left big toe, and a circular birthmark on her back.

Investigators later questioned inconsistencies in Lane’s account and shifted focus to him. Prosecutors alleged there had been no carjacking and contended Lane beat Bianca to death after an incident related to potty training; Bianca’s older sister testified she saw Lane carry a motionless Bianca, covered by a blanket, to the car. A cadaver dog reportedly alerted to the scent of human remains in multiple places, including Bianca’s car seat, her bed, and Lane’s vehicle. Bianca’s body has never been recovered. Lane was charged and convicted of first-degree murder and child abuse and sentenced to life without parole; he continues to maintain Bianca is alive. Reports of possible sightings, including one by a police officer, have not produced her recovery.

If anyone has information about Bianca’s whereabouts or recalls seeing a child matching her description in late 2011 or afterward, please share what is known.
