The Case of Mikelle Biggs

About this episode

This episode examines the haunting cold case of Mikelle Biggs, who disappeared in 1999 while waiting for an ice cream truck.

On January 2nd, 1999, 11‑year‑old Mikelle Biggs walked outside with her little sister to wait for the ice cream truck. Minutes later, she was gone. Her purple bike lay on its side. The front wheel was still spinning. Two quarters were on the pavement. And no one saw what happened. This episode examines one of Arizona’s most haunting cold cases — a disappearance that unfolded in under two minutes, before AMBER Alerts existed in the state, and before modern child‑abduction protocols were in place. We explore the timeline, the investigation, the long‑standing person of interest, the myths that have grown around the case, and the family who has spent 25 years searching for answers. If you have information about the disappearance of Mikelle Biggs, contact the Mesa Police Department. Content Notes: Missing child, abduction, discussion of sexual violence (non‑graphic), long‑term unresolved cases. Credits: Hosted by Rachel & Krystal Written and produced by Co‑workers & Crime Research from publicly available law enforcement statements and reputable reporting
