In the summer of 2013, a four-year-old girl named Jaidyn Baker-Dizon was last seen in Las Vegas, Nevada, on July 22nd. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance are complex and have caused years of anguish for her father and extended family. The last confirmed contact her father had with her was in 2013, marking the beginning of a long and frustrating search for answers.
The narrative of Jaidyn's disappearance is deeply intertwined with her mother, Shaina Baker.
In June 2014, Shaina picked Jaidyn up from a daycare in Tacoma, Washington, mentioning a "road trip" to California. At this time, Jaidyn was reportedly not legally in her mother's care. Shortly after this, Shaina contacted her own mother, expressing fear for Jaidyn's safety due to an incident involving Jaidyn's younger brother and her boyfriend, Edwin "Referee" Davis. Arrangements were being made for Jaidyn to stay with her grandmother, but the call ended abruptly, and for two years, there was no contact from Shaina or any sign of Jaidyn.
Over the years, Shaina has provided conflicting and vague information about Jaidyn's whereabouts. In 2016, she re-established contact with her family but refused to provide any proof that Jaidyn was safe. At one point, she claimed Jaidyn was staying with friends in Washington, and later told authorities that a family friend had taken her to Canada, a claim that could not be verified. In December 2024, a viral TikTok video showed Shaina and her five younger children at a shelter in Las Vegas, but Jaidyn, who would have been 15 years old, was not with them. This led Jaidyn's family to travel to Las Vegas, where they faced jurisdictional challenges with law enforcement in their attempts to file a missing person's report. An officer eventually conducted a welfare check, during which Shaina repeated her claim that Jaidyn was safe with a family friend but provided no concrete evidence. The case remains a painful and unresolved mystery for Jaidyn's loved ones, who continue to search for her.Last Seen: Jul 22, 2013
