December 1999, Tacoma, Washington.

Two-year-old Tika went missing from a local bowling alley.

She has not been found to this day, almost 23 years later.

Many believe Tika to be still alive. In this area,

there were many reports of attempted abductions as well as a suspect citing, but nothing has ever

located Tika Lewis. What happened to her that night, and where is she today? Tocoma Police

received 700 tips in the early day of the investigation.

They still have at least six binders full of documents relating to the investigation.

Tika's disappearance remains the largest case file in Tacoma's cold case unit.

This is Tika's story.

Just give me my baby back.

Tacoma police and FBI agents hope this flyer will help in their search for two-year-old

Tika Lewis. The Tacoma girl has been missing for 38 hours now. The ground search that took

place all day yesterday is now over. Over 300 people in that bowling alley that night and not one out of 300

people didn't see nothing. It's hard to believe. Today, close to two dozen detectives will be canvassing

a one-mile radius near this bowling alley handing out the flyer. They will also be checking

with some residents in the area.

I've missed 14 birthdays, and it's time to bring her home. Give me a Christmas miracle.

Tika Latrice Lewis was born July 4, 1996, to parents Teresa English and Robert Lewis. Tika would be the couple's first child together,

with Teresa bringing two other children with her from a previous relationship. The couple would

welcome another child into the family, Tamika, by the end of 1998, a baby sister for Tika who loved

doting over her.
