AZ AZ - Mikelle Biggs, 11, Mesa, 2 Jan 1999


PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) — It’s been more than 24 years since one of Arizona’s most high-profile missing children cases began. Eleven-year-old Mikelle Biggs was abducted while riding her bike outside her Mesa home and never seen again. Her little sister was just 9 years old but she has spent much of her adult life advocating for her sister. Now, she’s been hired by a training center funded by the U.S. Justice Department to help train officers on how to better deal with families of missing children and victims.

Mikelle’s disappearance has shaped Kimber’s life, a situation she never asked for and was forced to grow up with. But now it’s not just having to talk about that horrific day but being able to actually smile about the difference she’s about to make for other families and detectives, all in Mikelle’s honor. “Taking something horrible that happened to me and using that to do good. That’s a really amazing feeling,” Kimber said.


The National Criminal Justice Training Center programs like the one Kimber will be a part of are funded by federal grants from the DOJ.

Kimber will undergo training in October and could begin speaking at trainings around the country as early as November of this year.

 

He is serving 127 years, he is never getting out... I wish he would do the right thing and answer the questions, let this family bury their girl, let her have dignity. Other than him being a horrible human being, there is no reason for him to not tell all.
