I am Kimber Biggs, my sister Mikelle Biggs was kidnapped 15 years ago and nothing was ever found. Ask me anything!

I am truly sorry to hear about your sister. I don't by any means think you should, but did you ever blame yourself?

For years I actually did. I did a 20/20 interview 4 years ago and admitted to feeling guilty for 6 years. It wasn't until I got old enough to understand it wasn't my fault and it was out of my hands. There is a part of me though, that still wishes I had stayed. Even though I know that could have resulted in both of us being taken.

What is your happiest memory of your sister?

Love this question! I posted a few on my fb page I made for her but One of my favorite would probably be the Christmas before she was taken. She made me sneak out before our parents woke up, to see what Santa brought us. She was definitely an older sister making me do the dirty work ;) but it was fun for both of us.

That's siblings for you, haha. Awesome! I love the mischievous things that are always the first to mind. I'm definitely glad her childhood sounds to have been a good one.

Kimber, I hope you find closure. It's been 15 years, but I sincerely wish for the day when you can finally know what happened to your sister.

Thank you so much! She was an amazing sister and definitely lived a happy life.

First off all, I am so sorry that this has happened to you and your family. I grew up in the valley and remember when this happened. Mikelle would be just a couple years younger than me so it was something that had an impact on myself, my parents and peers.

Is there any possibility of anyone talking with Dee Blalock or questioning him again? It makes me so sad to think your parents sense that he did it, but don't have the confirmation. Has his family ever spoken out for or against the possibility of his being guilty? I'm curious what their feelings are about the case.

I have recently considered talking to him myself. His wife had an alibi for him and never spoke against him as far as I know. But she could be as twisted as he is.

I didn't realize he was married. He is in jail for some pretty nasty things. Talk about being married to a monster :/

Good luck to you and your family. I think you are very brave and an amazing sister to carry on her cause.

Definitely disturbing! Thank you so much.

i'm very sorry for this horrible event. Do you still have any hope of finding her alive, like some recent cases i heard of in usa or are you just searching closure?

Honestly I don't believe she is alive, and we just want closure. There is a tiny part of me that believes "anything is possible" but at the same time I would hate knowing she's been out there for 15 years going through hell.

Idk what that guy said but I'm glad its give and that y'all called him out! Thanks 💜

How do you feel about websites such as Websleuths?

That's the first time I've seen that particular site/thread. That was part of my motivation for speaking up again. So people can be told the exact story and know we haven't given up looking.

I would definitely recommend contacting Websleuths and getting them to take a look at the case. They have a history of doing a lot of good and putting pressure on authorities to re-open cold cases. Good luck!

I'm a member there. They are a great group and will do anything to help. A poster had a family member go missing and within hours posters had been printed and put up in the town she was at based on her thread.

Oh wow! Good to know I'll definitely check it out! Thank you!

I will look into that, thank you!!

I am so incredibly sorry that nothing has been solved. I live in Tempe and remember this greatly as a child. I really hope that someday your family will get the answers you deserve.

Thank you so much!

Was any evidence ever found? What led you to suspect Dee Blalock?

I am still working on figuring out what evidence was gathered, I wasn't told a lot of that because I was only 9 at the time. But Dee Blalock lived in our neighborhood, the night it happened his house was searched but they didn't have a warrant for a trailer he had, then he got rid of the trailer so it was never searched. though I am still gathering exact facts on that particular story. He showed up to a candlelight vigil we had for her and he even reached out to my parents while in jail. A lot of times people who kidnap or similar will show up to see the chaos they caused. It just looks like it was him. My parents talked to him in person and strongly feel he did it. Just that parental intuition.

This is a little bizarre...but....do you think there is a case for getting children 'Chipped' like we do for dogs, cats etc. geo-chips and the like are so cheap and if it only saves one life (like the Amber alert system) then its worth it.

Interesting idea but the idea of chipping people sounds a little too.. government involvement to me lol

What would help the most at this point? What, specifically, can the Reddit community do to help?

I guess just "up-vote" to get it on the main page so more people will see it. I want to spread the word as much as possible. We have not given up and we want answers and this Is what it takes!

Did you live in fear of being kidnapped, too, after it happened?

Also, I'm sending you big internet hugs and I hope you realize that this was not your fault. I can't imagine going through what your family went through.

I was definitely far more paranoid and aware of stranger danger after that! Thank you for the kind words and hugs!!

I would like to ask a question about this if I could. You stated you were more aware of strangers. Yet, the research I did showed that Dee Blalock was a former neighbor of yours. Most kidnappings are done by some one the victim knew (as also would seem to be the case here... knew of, perhaps if not know personally).

did you at all have a similar distrust of people you knew, specifically ones that were only acquaintances or friends of the family?

EDIT: I realize it may have been years between the kidnapping and your indication of Dee Blalock as the person who did it. I am just interested if you treated people in general as a threat, or if you were more withdrawn from society.

Just saw your edit. Definitely was not withdrawn at all. More in tune to instincts of danger though. My intuition only grew stronger as I got older.

We didn't personally know him and none of us had ever talked to him as far as I knew. I didn't have an issue trusting friends or relatives but definitely learned that those closest are often involved.

Somehow If you had a chance to ask her anything but not of where she is what would it be?

Good question I've thought about this before. I guess I'd ask her what she wants me to do, if I'm doing right by her.

Thank you very much!

Was there any evidence at all? Seems odd that someone would just vanish. I'm sorry for your loss

Nothing conclusive that they can actually use, unfortunately. Thank you.

If Dee is already in jail for life, why do you think he is so hesitant to say anything? I remember seeing this story on a crime show. I sincerely hope your family gets the answers you deserve.

Edit: typo

I'm not totally sure but if he admits it, it could mean death penalty do that may be his reason?

Do you feel like the case was handled professionally and that the investigation was done correctly after going over the facts and evidence years later?

I feel like the case was too big for Mesa PD to handle but they did their best considering the situation. They were a few who really stuck by and worked hand in hand with us and really went above and beyond.

Out of curiosity, what was your first thought when you realized your sister had actually been kidnapped?

Sheer panic. Confusion. Disbelief. I kept hoping she would come home unharmed. It took a long time to really believe what happened and by that point I just wanted her safe.

I'm nearly hyperventilating thinking about this happening to my child. I can imagine something like this would cause a lot of tension, and could very easily tear families apart. Any observations about how they handled the situation?

edit: your parents are the "them" I'm referring to

I commend my parents for how well they handled it. Obviously it effected their marriage and our family but they strove to keep a sense of normalcy and safety to our family. They divorced a few years ago but for other reasons. They are on good terms though.

You should be proud of them. Something like this could cause a lot of collateral damage to a family not led by strong-willed parents.

Definitely very proud of them! :)

What would you give to know the answer?

I don't know, almost anything.

When I was three my little sister died of sids, she was only a month or two old then, and I have often thought about her throughout my life wondering what would be different if she were here. I wish nothing but closure for you and your family, and I really do hope you get the answers you need.

Oh I am so sorry, for you and your family. That's heartbreaking. Thank you for the kind words.

did you ever thought about letting a specialist/profiler in the area of nonverbal communication or body language (eg joe navarrio) talk to dee blalock in prison?

I believe they already did that and that's why they think it's him. I'd love to have them do it again though.

You're really pretty!

And strong.

And courageous.

And i'm sure a whole lot of other awesome things!

I'm very sorry for your pain, and I hope somewhere along the way you found reasons to smile again :)

Aw thank you! I did. Especially being a mother 😊

Why are you doing an AMA?

Exactly what clodiusmetallis said. I figured this would be a good way to digest the word.

Does the women who were found by the black man who were locked in the basement for 10 years ever give you hope shes still out there?

Somewhat I guess but it scared me more than anything

I admire your strength. I am going to up-vote for visibility.

I was also going to come up with a clever way to say you are very pretty. But this isn't the time or the place for that now is it?

I'm not sure what up vote for visibility means but thank you for both compliments! :)

No problem- I really hope that you get some type of closure.

Thank you!

Basically, the more upvotes a thread has, the higher up and more visible the thread will be on the main page. =)

Oh perfect! Thank you!
