Mikelle Biggs

Show notes

On the evening of January 2, 1999, two sisters stood on their street in Mesa, Arizona, waiting for the ice cream truck. The older girl, who was 11, had two quarters clutched in her hand. Her little sister, who was 9, got cold and ran inside — just for a minute. When she came back out, the bike her sister had been sitting on was lying in the road, one wheel still slowly spinning. The two quarters were on the pavement nearby.

And Mikelle Biggs was gone.

The whole thing happened in about ninety seconds. Search dogs would later follow her scent a few feet from that spot, and then lose it completely. Police collected over 800 pieces of evidence and chased more than 10,000 tips, But nearly three decades later, Mikelle has never been found.

If you have any information about the disappearance of Mikelle Biggs, please contact the Mesa Police Department Homicide Unit at 480-644-6195, or by email at [email protected]. You can also leave an anonymous tip with Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS (480-948-6377).
