Ta'Niyah's mother, Miranda Jones, claimed she last saw the child when she dropped her off at her boyfriend Michael Lewis's apartment at the Azalea Gardens complex on Golfview Avenue in Bartow, Florida, at 10:30 p.m. on October 19, so he could babysit while Jones went out with friends. Photographs of both Lewis and Jones are posted on the right. Lewis claims that Jones picked up Ta'Niyah at 8:30 or 9:00 a.m. the next day and he has not seen the baby since; however, Jones claims she has not seen Ta'Niyah since October 19. On October 20, Jones called the police to report a physical altercation between herself and Lewis. She said she went to Lewis's apartment on the evening of October 19 to get Ta'Niyah, and he told her the baby was at a friend's home. Jones went to the friend's home and found it vacant, so she returned and confronted Lewis. Ta'Niyah has pierced ears and a light birthmark on her right leg. Her nickname is Ny Ny. Photo of Ta'Niyah shown age progressed to 17.
