Detroit— Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy announced murder charges for D’Andre Louis Lane, the father of missing 2-year-old Bianca Jones, Wednesday in the Detroit toddler’s disappearance case.

Worthy announced her decision to charge Lane Wednesday with first-degree felony murder and first-degree child abuse several months after Bianca was last seen in December even though her body was never recovered.

“The human body is sometimes the best piece of evidence we have,” said Worthy, who noted even though investigators haven’t found Bianca, she feels the case against Lane is a strong one.

Worthy also said Bianca was subjected to child abuse on the day Bianca went missing.

Lane will be arraigned in 36th District Court at 1 p.m. Thursday. He has been in Oakland County’s jail since Monday, according to jail officials. Lane is being held on a violation of a personal protection order unrelated to his daughter’s disappearance. He’ll be transferred to Detroit custody later Wednesday, Worthy said.

Bianca was reported missing around 10 a.m. Dec. 2, when Lane told police that carjackers forced him out of his 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis at gunpoint at Brush and Carter streets, just north of East Grand Boulevard, before driving off with his daughter in the backseat. The car was recovered a few minutes after police responded to the call, but Bianca was gone.

Lane’s jailing occurs as a former wife, Rakiba Lanise Mitchell of Farmington Hills, said she fears “now more than ever” for the safety of a son from their brief relationship that ended in 2010.

Last March, the personal protection order was obtained against Lane by Mitchell, who divorced Lane in 2010. In December, Lane was ordered to attend an anger management class by Oakland Circuit Judge Cheryl Matthews.

Lane was back in court on Monday for failing to meet the court’s order and sentenced to 14 days in the Oakland County Jail.

Mitchell and Lane were married about 18 months, and she filed for divorce in June 2010. They had a son, now 3 years old. She initially sought a personal protection order against him, saying he had shown up unannounced at her home demanding to see the boy.

Mitchell said Lane sent her repeated “threatening” emails and made unwanted telephone calls to her and relatives, according to Oakland Circuit Court records.

One thought on “Father Charged With Murder of Daughter Had Been Mandated To Anger Management Classes

  1. G’Day! Safetyfirst,
    This might be off topic, however, The father is a daughter’s first ever relationship with a mature man and thus, a healthy father daughter relationship is imperative for a normal upbringing of a young girl. Sadly, incestuous relationships between a father and daughter do happen and this unhealthy father daughter relationship will seal the fate of the daughter for a tumultuous man-woman relationship later in her life.
    Nice One!
