Crime stories with Nancy Grace.

In the middle of a bowling alley, you'd think everybody's having fun because I know we do,

lots of fun at the bowling alley.

But how does a little girl seemingly disappear into thin air from the middle of a bowling alley with her family there?

How does that happen?

Crime stories with Nancy Grace.

When I go bowling with the twins, with or without my husband, David, I can see them sitting

right there.

They don't just disappear into thin air, but that is exactly what happened to this little

girl.

We want answers. First of all, take a listen to this.

It was January 23rd. Tika was at a crowded bowling alley with her family in Tacoma, Washington.

Members of the family were taking turns watching Tika and some other young children with them,

and they were distracted for a few moments when they turned around, she was gone.

Since then, no one has seen her.

Now, I get being distracted at the bowling alley because when it's your turn to bowl,

you get the ball, you go up, you set your sights on the pins, and you roll it out,

you see what happens, you wait, and you see your score.

So you're looking, I would guess, at least a minute.

feel you know everybody, you're not staring at your child the whole time.
