all day today we've been bringing you
stories of unsolved cases here in
Michigan there are thousands of cold
cases detectives are still working to
solve and some of them of course the
details are just impossible to forget
tonight our Steve Kerr's Yola
examines where four unsolved cases stand
right now beginning with one of the
state's oldest case police with tracking
dogs searched near the spot Paige
winkowski was last seen her
disappearance ranks among Michigan's
longest-running unsolved mysteries for
somebody not to see something and come
forward with that information to me is
probably the most I'd think about this
this particular case the morning of May
24th 1990 Paige winkowski dropped off
her mother at Metro Airport police found
Paige's car parked on the shoulder of
i-96 near the Fowlerville exit later
that afternoon with the engine running
her purse and shoes inside the car
witnesses later told police they had
seen her talking to a man who had parked
him a rude minivan behind her car
obviously somebody got her to stop pull
over on the side of the road and appears
they had her out of the car and we're
talking to her so how they got her to
the side of the road is anybody's guess
did she know the man in the minivan did
she go voluntarily or was abducted she's
not been seen since police consider this
case an unsolved murder almost 800,000
children are reported missing every year
most of those stories have a happy
ending some end in tragedy still others
remain a grim mystery whoever has my
baby please we're going back home that's
all it's so he'd be home for Christmas
so we could happen so we can have a good
family Christmas 4 year-old dawan Sims
disappeared on December 11th 1994 his
mother DeWanna Harris now DeWanna
Jackson said she took her son to the
Wonderland mall in Livonia and he
vanished in a crowd of shoppers my
daughter said that she entered that mall
and went to that Target store that's the
CTA surveillance video at the mall
revealed her
but not her son investigators believed
he was never there and his family became
the focus of suspicion
we have nothing to hide my family has
nothing to hide now the one Sims remains
a missing person vanished without a
trace the disappearance of
three-year-old tangina Hussein in
October of 2008 is another in which
police never could establish a crime had
been committed suspects are when we have
a crime we have no crime at this point
Jam rule who saved the boyfriend of 10
Gina's mother said he drove to a gas
station with the little girl left her in
his locked car while he went inside for
a pack of gum the car was parked in an
area with no cameras he told police when
he came out the little girl was gone
Hussain took two polygraphs that proved
inconclusive while investigators doubted
his story Hussein was never named a
suspect and the little girl was never
found as an investigator you go and you
have to have hope that's the bet that's
what keeps you going that's what keeps
you investigating the case there was no
hope that Nevaeh Buchanan is alive on
June 4th 2009 her body was found along
the banks of the River Raisin in Monroe
eleven days after she advantaged when we
all got the news I think of all of us in
a mirror we just
I think everybody's still in shock it's
just unbelievable as in many cold cases
the well of tips and information has run
dry as we approach the 10th anniversary
of Nevaeh's murder no suspect has ever
been identified livingston county
detroit Livonia monroe police in each of
those jurisdictions believe somebody
knows something they just need that
somebody to come forward I'm Steve
