Summary

It was a quiet evening in Mesa, Arizona, January 2, 1999. Eleven-year-old Mikelle Biggs was just waiting outside her home for the sound of the ice cream truck. But in the span of just ninety seconds, she vanished without a trace. Her bicycle was left behind, one of the wheels still spinning. For more than two decades, Mikelle’s case has haunted the community, raising more questions than answers. In this episode, we revisit the day she disappeared, explore the leads, and examine the eerie silence that followed one of Arizona’s most heartbreaking mysteries. 11-year-old Mikelle Biggs was last seen on the evening of January 2nd, 1999, outside of her home in Mesa, Arizona. At that time, she was 4’8” tall and weighed approximately 65lbs. She has hazel eyes and naturally sandy colored hair. She was last seen wearing a red, short-sleeved shirt with a white stripe across the chest, blue bell-bottom-style jeans with designs on the sides, and a purple Barbie watch. Anyone with information is asked to call the Mesa Police Department at 480-644-2211.
