On December 11, 1994, four-year-old D'Wan Christian Sims was reported missing from the Wonderland Mall in Livonia, Michigan. His mother, D'Wanna Harris, said the boy vanished while they were shopping together in the corridor between Target and the mall’s main area. D'Wan was described as three feet tall and was last reported wearing a blue winter jacket over a multi-colored windbreaker, dark blue sweatpants, and Fila tennis shoes.

Investigators later reviewed the mall’s surveillance for that day and found no images of D'Wan; the tapes showed his mother inside the mall but appearing alone. Police administered two polygraphs to D'Wanna Harris, which she did not pass, and investigators concluded they did not believe D'Wan had been at the mall that day. Harris maintained her account throughout.

The case grew cold over the years. In 2019 a man who thought he might be D'Wan was ruled out by DNA testing. D'Wanna Harris moved to North Carolina and died in December 2020. No trace of D'Wan has been found.

If anyone knew D'Wan, his family, or had information about the Wonderland Mall that day, can you share what you remember?
