    Leaona Wright (1) Missing from Pendleton, South Carolina

    UPDATE: 6/9/15 - In an interview with the Independent Mail on Saturday afternoon, " Kiara Sullivan, 22, said she went to clubs in Belton and Anderson on the previous night while her boyfriend, Travis Jones, watched her daughters. After taking a taxi home about 5:30 a.m., Sullivan said she gave Leaona a cup of juice. She said she also looked in on her again at 6:30 a.m. When she woke up at 9:30 a.m., Sullivan said, Jones told her that A'riel (3-year-old daughter) was standing in an open door to the apartment and that Leaona was gone." But, later on the Nancy Grace show Kiara said she never checked on Leona Saturday morning and only told the Independent Mail the above story because she was scared. She actually did not return home till Monday and spent Sundays at a relatives house.

    Despite searches done my SAR teams, dogs, horseback riders and volunteers, Leona remains missing.
    No person of interest has been named in connection with her disappearance.
    UPDATE 6/7/15 - Information from the public led investigators to expand their search to the waste transfer center in Pendleton until 10 p.m. Saturday. The search resumed Sunday morning.

    Original story: Leona Wright, 1, is missing from Pendleton, South Carolina. The police are searching for her with the thought she may have crawled away from her home at the Edgewood Square apartment complex on Cherry Street, after the 3-year-old left the door open.

    The child's mother was not at home but the mother's boyfriend, Travis Jones and three-year-old child were, Sheriff John Skipper told WYFF. Jones was arrested after failure to appear following a past misdemeanor charge. He also has been arrested for beating a woman, possession of drugs and burglary.

    A K9 unit along with helicopters and police on horseback are searching the area

    ANDERSON COUNTY, S.C. —The Department of Social Services now has custody of the siblings of a missing baby, according to the Anderson County Sheriff's Office.




    Officials said they removed a 3-year-old from the home where the child disappeared and also took custody of a 6-year-old who was living with the missing baby's grandmother.

    On Thursday, deputies said they have been given inconsistent information in the investigation into the disappearance of 1-year-old Leaona.

    Sheriff’s investigators said they believed early on that the reported circumstances of the baby's disappearance were not accurate.

    Lt. Sheila Cole said inconsistencies in stories from Leaoana's mother, Kiara Sullivan, and her boyfriend, Travis Jones, led them to the new revelations.

    To hear an interview with the baby's mother in which she says the 1-year-old was "never there," click here.

    Since then, they have tried to piece together an accurate picture. Investigators say they now know that the baby's 3-year-old sibling did not open the front door and allow Leaona to crawl outside, as was originally reported to deputies.

    Investigators have not named any suspects, but said they are not ruling anyone out at this time.

    Travis Jones sentenced on unrelated charge

    Anderson County Family Court confirms Jones was sentenced June 9 to 120 days or payment of $1,000 for failure to pay child support.

    Jones had not paid the $1,000 as of Friday, so he remains in jail.

    Vigil held for Leaona

    More than 50 people packed Wilson Calvary Baptist Church Thursday night for a vigil for Leaona.

    At the vigil dozens sang hymns and prayed for the baby's safe return.

    Those who attended are calling on the community to come together and refrain from passing judgment.

    "We need to come together as a community and not try to blame the mama so much. I've been a young mother myself and it's hard," said Patricia Johnson.

    Others say they can't imagine what the family is going through.

    "You say you would do this and that in that type of situation, but you really don't know until it is you. And you don't know what Kiara is going through. She may not say the right things, but she is in shock and I truly believe that," said Candi Gleason.

    Search continues in new location

    Wednesday, Anderson County deputies conducted a search in the Cedar Grove Road area of Townville. The search, which involved about 30 deputies, three K-9s with their handlers, and the Sheriff’s Office marine unit, was the result of a lead received Tuesday evening. The search ended without any further information being obtained.

    Previous searches were conducted in Pendleton on Saturday, the day Leoana was reported missing, and the following Sunday and Monday.

    Those searches included major responses from the Anderson County Sheriff's Office, Anderson County Technical Rescue, Zion Fire Department, Belton Fire Department, Oconee County Emergency Services and Technical Rescue, Pendleton Fire Department and EMS, CERT and Mounted Search and Rescue, Sandy Springs Fire Department, the Red Cross and MedShore EMS.

    Investigators said numerous people have been interviewed in the case, including the baby's mother, her boyfriend, and their neighbors, friends and family members.

    Investigators continue to follow-up on any and all credible leads they receive. They said if leads require another search, one will be conducted.

    At this time, no searches are planned, according to the Sheriff's Office.

    Yeah they lied. The 3 year old didn't let her out.

    If she was in an apartment there would be 2 doors she would have had to go through to exit the building.

    Cases like this one always remind me of the Jayden Leskie case from Moe, Victoria in the 1990s because Jayden's mum went out drinking & left her son with her new boyfriend too.


    O/T but I meant to make a thread on it years ago because it had so much drama & so many twists & turns, even back then with no soc med involved. It would've ended up one of the biggest threads on WS if it happened in this decade.


    The boyfriend was having a dispute with other local dickheads, so they turned up & threw a pig's head through his front window in the middle of the night.

    This was good news for him because he'd already killed Jayden earlier in the day & their badly timed attack on his house created a group of alternative suspects. He was able to claim Jayden was asleep on the lounge, that maybe he was injured when the pig's head hit the window so they abducted him/took his body to hide the crime.

    It took a long time to find Jayden's body. He'd been dumped in a Blue Rock Dam. His body surfaced about 2 years later when drought lowered the water levels. This dam was a place the boyfriend was known to frequent & Jayden was found with the shopping bag full of clothes, nappies & snacks that his mum sent with him for his sleepover. So at that point it became clear the pig throwers weren't involved, they wouldn't have known there was a bag in the house that came with Jayden & even if they did know, they had no time or reason to take it.

    It was suggested the boyfriend was intending to make it look like Jayden's mother had killed him & was too drunk to remember what she'd done

    Anyway, the trials were a total mess, as the entire case had been all along, the tabloids were going insane from the get go & in the end this child killer, Greg Domaszewicz was acquitted TWICE.


    No matter what evidence comes up in future he's protected by double jeopardy laws.

    There's at least one book on the case if anyone's looking for something to read
