Nine-month-old Lauryn Dickens was last seen on September 7, 2010, in Raleigh Village Apartments, Memphis, Tennessee. At that time she was 1 feet 9 inches tall, weighed 17 pounds, had black hair in two afro puffs and a noticeable skin rash on both forearms and the inside of her knees. She was reported wearing a brown onesie with a pink flower and pink dots.

Her mother, Shakara Dickens, initially told police she handed Lauryn to an unknown white woman in her forties with straight, shoulder-length gray hair and glasses, saying the woman was a friend of Lauryn’s father, Benjamin Norfleet. Shakara did not provide a name or contact information and did not report Lauryn missing until September 15, 2010. Investigators found inconsistencies in Shakara’s accounts, corroborated that Norfleet denied arranging anyone to pick up the child, and cadaver dogs indicated the scent of human remains in the apartment and Shakara’s car. Shakara was arrested and charged; she later confessed to killing Lauryn and was convicted and sentenced, but Lauryn’s body has never been recovered.

If anyone knew Lauryn, her routine, or saw her after September 7, 2010, please come forward with information.
