Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP11223) and 11 other sources
On December 3, 1983, 3-month-old April Nicole Williams was abducted from a bus station in Washington, D.C. while traveling with her mother, Eleanor Marie Williams, from Suffolk, Virginia to Junction City, Kansas. During a layover at the Trailways bus station, an unknown woman, who called herself Latoya, approached Eleanor and asked to hold April. After Eleanor allowed her to do so, Latoya left with the baby, claiming she was going to buy a soda or change April's diaper. She never returned, and both the woman and April disappeared.

April was last seen wearing a pink and white snowsuit and a blue sleeper with a red number 1 on the front. She has a distinct one-inch birthmark on her right wrist. The woman who took her, Latoya, was described as an African American female in her twenties, about 5'3" tall, with red, braided hair. She was last seen carrying April and boarding a bus near Rhode Island Avenue in Northeast Washington, D.C.

Authorities believe that April's abductor may have intended to raise her as her own child. Despite investigations and witness reports, April has never been found, and the case remains unsolved.
