Bianca Jones
Today in the Detroit Free Press I read an article about a 2 year old girl name Bianca Jones getting kidnapped in Detroit. She's been missing every since Friday December 2 2011. These are her fathers words: I don't care what people say about me if my baby is returned. I've never been through anything like this in my life.
