Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP26204) and 16 other sources
Delano Wilson, a 6-week-old infant, disappeared from Indianapolis, Indiana, on August 27, 2014. His father, Willie Wilson, reported that Delano was abducted during a violent robbery in an alley near their home. According to Willie, a white man and a Hispanic woman approached him, pistol-whipped him, and fled in a blue Ford Taurus, taking Delano with them. Despite extensive searches and an Amber Alert, no trace of Delano was found.

As the investigation progressed, suspicion shifted toward Delano’s father. Surveillance footage from the area did not show Willie carrying the baby at the time of the reported abduction, and investigators found internet searches about missing children on his phone. Police later discovered blood traces in the family’s apartment. In February 2015, Willie was charged with Delano’s murder, but the case remained circumstantial, and in October 2016, Willie was acquitted of all charges.

Delano’s case remains unsolved, and his body has never been found. Authorities and his family continue to seek answers about his fate, suspecting foul play due to the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.
