Deceased/Not Found MI - Bianca Jones, 2, Detroit, 2 Dec 2011 - #1 - *D. Lane guilty*

This might be a little premature, but does MI have the death penalty?

ETA: Nevermind, I just looked, no DP in MI.

No. Life without parole is the stiffest sentence.

FBI agents are searching for evidence at the Detroit home of missing 2-year-old Bianca Jones' father. Detroit Police investigators also have cordoned off a two-block area around the family's house on Custer, east of Woodward.

Wow. The "breaking news" banner is calling it a "raid".

I do wonder why searh warrant just being executed now...in the case of a child, why wouldn't this be done at once? Seems like the first thing that should be done, before expending until resources, JMO...probable cause should exist just because a child cannot willingly remove themselves from their home and are at the mercy of whatever story an adult tells LE...JMO

The police chief addressed that - I think - saying their main priority was finding Bianca alive, and then an investigation could take place later into other possible scenarios.

I think he really wanted ALL hands on deck pursuing the possibility of a live child, and now they're falling back to the other scenario - no carjacking.

I like that priority . . . the time critical search for a live child wandering around somewhere has ended, now they can take care of the less time-urgent task of investigating for a deceased one.

But what if she were still alive and inside the home?
Anyway it would not take that many officers to be doing a search inside while others start the process of looking for her and checking out the story outside...JMO

I wonder why they are searching the girls mothers home when she was staying with her dad the week prior to the alleged carjacking. Shouldn't they be searching the home she was staying at while visiting her dad? :waitasec:
:banghead:​

No kidding! I mean, it's not like the alleged carjackers would just happen to know where the child in the back seats mother lived.

Searching moms home when she was staying with dad makes no sense to me.

I see what you're saying, I'm just saying it was his philosophy in the first 48 hours or so to pursue a carjacking scenario, since that would lead to what they were hoping - a chance for survival, and bringing Bianca back to her mother.

They did already go to the house, and my guess is they did a good eyeball search. It seems like what they're doing now is taking scrapings and using the blacklight.

could the whole story be a scheme for money? Maybe Bianca has been safe and sound at home playing the whole time.... I know...wishful thinking

:banghead:​

The house on Mitchell Street where the dad was staying was searched, also. I'll get the Fox 2 video from this morning.

http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/dpp/new...olunteers-in-search-for-missing-girl-20111205

The house on Mitchell is shown, and the reporter says that a neighbor saw "men in white suits carrying (evidence) out of the house."

Does this article indicate they're searching BOTH homes?

sounds like it to me

did we see this?
DPD along with State Police and FBI set their sites on a home near E. 7 Mile and Conant Sunday night looking for answers in the search for 2-year-old Bianca Jones.

Authorities would not say if they collected any evidence, or who lived in the house, but a neighbor tells Action News the father of missing Bianca, D’Andre Lane, once stayed at the location.

I agree. He probably heard of little Mariha Smith's case and would possibly not leave Bianca in an abandoned home if he hoped she wouldn't be found.

There is no way he beat and killed her in that 2.5 hours between the time he left and the time he alleges the car was stolen. His other childs mother has to know what happened.

I also hope they used cadaver dogs on the car.
I'm hoping they are able to track him via survellience as well.

Was too tired to ask last night, but how did he call his girlfriend before calling LE? Did he use a cell phone or call his gf from Bianca's mothers home?

I hope we hear about the police interviewing the dad's girlfriend. I have a feeling she could very important information to share! MOO

That's the house on Mitchell Street in the 7 Mile/Conant area.

It does sound like LE is searching both homes. I don't for a second believe Bianca's mom is involved. She appears too legitimately torn apart.

I do however think it is possible DL may have disposed of Bianca's body very near her mothers home if he hoped that he could stage the carjacking/kidnapping to appear as if the alleged perp had a beef with Bianca's mom. Good for LE to leave no stone left unturned, and I still believe DL is fully responsible for whatever happened to Bianca.
