Brandon Lamarr Sims was four years old when he vanished from his Indianapolis home in the summer of 1992. The last confirmed sighting by anyone other than his mother was shortly after his fourth birthday, playing outside a mosque his mother attended. Witnesses later reported bruises on Brandon and said his mother was abusive toward him. He had a medical condition, gonadotropin-independent precocious puberty, requiring medication he was not receiving when he disappeared.

In July 1992 Brandon’s mother, Michelle Engron Jones, traveled to Detroit and told a friend Brandon was with a babysitter; he was never seen again. Jones later gave conflicting explanations that he was with his father or grandmother, removed him from taxes, health insurance, and a life insurance policy, and replaced him as a beneficiary with a friend. A building manager recalled many flies in Brandon’s bedroom that summer. Bloodstains were found in their former apartment.

If anyone knew Brandon, his routines, or saw anything along Interstate 65 in Clinton County that summer, please share what you remember.
