April Nicole Williams was three months old when she was taken from a Trailways bus station in Washington, D.C., on December 3, 1983. April and her mother, 18-year-old Eleanor Marie Williams, had a three-hour layover while traveling from Suffolk, Virginia, to visit Eleanor’s boyfriend in Kansas. A woman who introduced herself as Latoya struck up a conversation and asked to hold the baby, then walked away toward a nearby Hardee’s and never returned. Another account says Latoya offered to change April’s diaper and disappeared after taking her into the restroom.
The suspected abductor was described as a slender African American woman in her twenties, about 5 feet 3 inches tall, with red braided hair, a dark brown complexion with possible pigment spots on her face, and two piercings in each ear. April was last seen wearing a pink and white hooded snowsuit over a blue sleeper with a red number 1 on the front and has a one-inch birthmark on her right wrist. Investigators believe the kidnapper may have intended to raise April as her own child. The case remains an unsolved non-family abduction.
If anyone was at the Trailways station or Hardee’s in Washington, D.C., on December 3, 1983, or remembers someone matching that description calling herself Latoya, please share what was seen or heard.
