Yeah, the meter does spike on this one.

Within 10 minutes, the car was found at Beaubien and Philadelphia, less than a mile away from where the car was stolen — but the child was gone, police said.

There are helicopters on the river I can see and hear them

**Dakota Valkyrie** · December 2nd, 2011, 03:44 PM

Same info but has the parents names:

Her parents, father Deandre Lane, 32, and mother Banika Jones, have told police their vehicle was robbed at gunpoint. Bianca's parents were talking with police Friday afternoon near where the car was stolen. The girl's father declined comment to the media before leaving in an unmarked police vehicle.

Police say their suspect is a black male, 25-30 years old with a medium complexion and about 6-feet tall at 190 pounds. He's wearing a black shirt, black pants and has a 5 o'clock shadow. He also has a brown and black baseball-style hat. Bianca was wearing a purple jacket with gold trim, pink tights and pink shoes. She's described as being 2-foot-five, 25 pounds and having a light complexion.

According to the alert, the "suspect vehicle was last seen traveling northbound on John R. near East Grand Boulevard in a small red passenger car." The car may have front-end damage.

Was the little girl just wearing a coat, tights, and shoes? Weird way to dress a kid (just my opinion).

**Whisper** · December 2nd, 2011, 03:47 PM

Im hoping they are just "by " the river and not looking in it but I dont see boats
B/c the helicopters could be looking in the empty building/parking lots etc that is along the river here
If they were looking in the river then boats would be out and I havem only seen a couple Russian ships and the tug boat that drags barges and the mail boats today
No police or coast guard

**Whisper** · December 2nd, 2011, 06:57 PM

Well came in from groceries hoping against hope but nothing
I personally think parents owed money or something else is connected to her
B/c anyone carjacking is one thing a child in the car is another,
they want that kid found fast and dont want the charges more b/c of having the baby
Still running along bottom of tv screen hope they find her safe but with all stories I have read and posted Im jaded
In the back of my head I keep thinking parents killed her and made the story up

**Whisper** · December 2nd, 2011, 07:06 PM

This isnt making sense

Moms being questioned by FBI

The people in that carjacked him were in a red box style car??
Just broke on the news,thats not carjacking thats kidnapping

The way I understand it, there were two dudes in the red car. One got out and jacked the gray car with the toddler in it. Both cars drove off (with her still in gray car). It's BOTH carjack and kidnapping.

I guess they have shared custody this was dads week
moms brother was on saying he talked to her lastnight which kinda gave me hope shes alive and this isnt a cover up of some type

DETROIT (WXYZ) -
[...]
“I don’t know nothing, I wish I did, I really don’t know anything,” said Uncle Olando Jones. My sister called me and woke me up and said, my niece has been kidnapped. I jumped over here and ran out of my bed. It’s like flooded with police. I’m completely helpless. There is nothing I can do,” said Jones.
[...]
“Someone jacked him for the car, was telling him something that the brake lights were out and he got out to check and he said that the guy just pulled a gun out on him. He didn’t know what to do, he froze,” said Aunt Mary Ford-Gandy.
[...]
“If you’ve seen her, she’s real tall, she doesn’t look like a 2-year-old, she kind of looks more like a 3 year old,” said Jones.
Jones said the girl had been staying with her father for the past week and last night was the last time that mom Banika Jones spoke his niece.
“We both talked to her last night over the phone. We were just talking to her and she was just over her dad’s house for a week and stuff. We were just talking to her because we hadn’t heard from her,” said Jones.Police Chie Ralph Godbee is on the scene and spoke with 7 Action News. He says "time is critical" in the search for the missing child.

Police released the following description of the suspects:

Suspect #1 - A black male, approx. 6', 190 lbs., wearing a black jacket with a red shirt underneath, dark pants and a brown and black hat, a thin scraggly beard, armed with a blue steel revolver.

Suspect #2 - Undescribed, except that he is said to have exited a small red, boxy-styled car.

Her parents, father Deandre Lane, 32, and mother Banika Jones, have told police their vehicle was taken at gunpoint. Lane told police he was driving the car with the child in it when someone from another car told him the car's tail lights were broken, pulled out a gun and took the car with her in it, Stephens said.

According to the alert, the "suspect vehicle was last seen traveling northbound on John R. near East Grand Boulevard in a small red passenger car." The car may have front-end damage

police sketch released tonight at 11

[...]
An anonymous benefactor has donated $5,000 toward a reward to find Bianca. Crime Stoppers is also offering $2,500, bringing the total reward to $7,500.
Jones' mother, Banika Jones, said her daughter had her birthday on Saturday and answers to the nickname "Bacon." She said her daughter was spending the night with her father and was supposed to be returned Friday morning to her home on Custer Street.
“My daughter is wearing a purple coat with gold trim and pink tights. Her hair is braided and she has beads in it. She is very smart,” the mother said. "Just bring (Bianca) home. I'm not really worried about you. I don't really care. I just want my baby. I just want my daughter. That's all. Just bring my daughter home to me."
[...]
Godbee said Bianca's father is being questioned, but would not comment on if he was being considered a person of interest in her disappearance.

"Well, right now Bianca's dad is the link to everything we do. He's the last one that had seen Bianca. So, we really need to go over his story and talk to him, make sure we corroborate information," Godbee said.

FBI picked dad up tonight questioning him and hes still with them
Hes got a large criminal history
And tonight refused a lie detector which throws him under suspicion even more cops said
I have a bad Susan smith feeling
Not so much for the same reasons she gave but the fake carjacking etc.,etc

**GOREgeous** · December 3rd, 2011, 12:49 AM

Seems like this happens more often than it should...usually the parents are found out to be the guilty ones, not some shadowy figure in the night...I. hope she's ok

**Dakota Valkyrie** · December 3rd, 2011, 09:56 AM

Bianca's nickname is "Bacon" and just turned 2 last week.

Banika Jones sat hunched over on her couch, wrapped in a blanket late Friday, watching the news with a dazed look on her face as the story of her 2-year-old daughter's disappearance played out before her.

"I still can't believe this is happening. I just want my little girl back. Can somebody tell me who has Bacon?" she asked, using Bianca's nickname.
[...]

"We're probably in this for the long haul," said Police Chief Ralph Godbee, who said police are using every investigative tool they have to locate the little girl.

Lane was still being questioned by police late Friday and was being cooperative, Godbee said.

When asked if Lane is a possible suspect, Godbee said, "Everybody is a person of interest."

Bianca Jones' great-aunt, Sally Dillahunt, 48, can't fight the nagging feeling that there's more to the story surrounding the little girl's disappearance.

"I'm thinking and I'm hoping and I'm wishing that there's no foul play but something doesn't sound right," Dillahunt said.
[...]

Banika Jones said she hasn't been in contact with Lane, who allegedly told police he was driving the car with the child in it when someone from another car told him the car's tail lights were broken, pulled out a gun and took the car with her in it, Stephens said.

Melissa Isaac, 30, was walking her children to the school bus stop on Glendale Street near 14th Street just before 8 a.m. when she saw Lane drive by, though she didn't pay attention as to whether any children were in the car. One of Lane's daughters is in her son's second-grade class at a school in Highland Park.

Erica Nevers, one of Jones' aunts, said several things are troubling to her about the story.

"It don't make no sense that he would stop the car a few blocks away from (Jones') house," Nevers said. "And nothing was taken from the car and the car was only a few blocks from where it was taken?"

Nevers said her family took Lane in when he was a teenager. Eventually he and Jones became a couple and she got pregnant. Though the two are not together now, he was very involved in Bianca's life, Nevers said.
[...]

"The most important thing right now for us is to locate 2-year-old Bianca Jones," Godbee said. "A safe return is of the utmost importance to us."

Banika Jones, meanwhile, keeps thinking she's going to wake up "to see Bianca poking me with a straw and asking me for a fruit cup."

A $5,000 reward is being offered to anyone with information that leads to an arrest.

@Whisper , you may be right, but I have a feeling that Bianca is probably in the same place little Sky Metalwala is. Both were missing from a car, either carjacked or left by a parent. I think we'll probably find that Bianca never was in the car, and the car was never jacked. The car being so close and nothing else found missing from the car sends my hinky meter into overdrive. I'll eat my words and apologize in both cases if I am wrong. I just don't think I am.

The first thing I thought was, "Oh man.... another baby abused to death." If it were an accident, why would someone create such an elaborate scheme. It's like Casey Anthony. It doesn't make any sense.

SOURCES: Father of missing 2-year-old fails polygraph, mother makes plea for safe return of child

DETROIT (WXYZ) - Sources tell Action News the father who claims his toddler was taken during an armed carjacking has failed a polygraph test and remains in custody on unrelated warrants.
Meanwhile, Bianca's mother made a desperate plea for her little girl's safe return and a stranger offered a $5,000 reward.
Banika Jones is begging whoever has her 2-year-old daughter Bianca Jones to please, please bring her back. The mother told 7 Action News she feels like this isn't real and she wants to wake up and have her daughter home.
[...]
Both the mom and dad were questioned. The mom came home, while as of 11 p.m. Friday night, the dad was still being questioned.

The dad did work with police to come up with a composite sketch of a man the dad says carjacked him. Police released that sketch, but at the same time, Chief Ralph Godbee says their focus right now is to find Bianca.

I don't live in Detroit anymore but My parents still live there and my Dad was telling me about this story. It is sad to say but when i hear stories like this now I automatically think the parents had something to do with it and this one is no exception. I definitely think BOTH parents know more than what they are telling. They are hiding something. As a Mother if something like this were to happen to me, I would be telling EVERY SINGLE THING I knew if it would help bring my kid back. Like Judge Judy always says on her show... "If it doesn't make sense, it's NOT true". I believe she is right and in this case, the story does not make sense.

WOW! You would never catch me in the neighborhood this happened in, lol. Bad, bad area. The more I hear about this story the more I am certain that they are not gonna find this baby alive.
