Bonnie Lee Dages was 18 when she vanished from Lithia, Florida, on April 28, 1993, along with her 4-month-old son Jeremy. That evening she drove a silver Dodge Caravan to a shopping center at Lumsden Road and Lithia Pinecrest Road in Brandon to meet a man in his forties with whom she had been involved. The van was later found abandoned in the parking lot with Bonnie’s purse, containing $75, and Jeremy’s diaper bag still inside; neither mother nor baby have been seen since.

In the days before the disappearance Bonnie withdrew $15,075 from her bank account to invest in a business run by a man living near her parents’ home. That man has not been publicly named or charged but is described in reports as a person of interest. Most of Bonnie’s inherited money remained in her account, a detail family and investigators say deepened suspicion of foul play. Bonnie and Jeremy were declared legally deceased in 1999, but their whereabouts and the circumstances remain unresolved.
