Go back question the guy she was supposed to meet!
Bonnie Lee Dages is a woman who, along with her four-month-old son, Jeremy Dages, has been missing from the Lithia and Brandon, Florida area since April 28, 1993. Their disappearance is a high-profile, unsolved cold case that has received significant media attention over the decades, with authorities and her family continuing to seek answers.
Background
Personal Life: Born in March 1975, Bonnie was 18 years old when she disappeared. She was the oldest of five children and described as gifted, with passions for music, photography, and especially horses. She had earned her GED shortly before giving birth to her son, Jeremy, and was raising him as a single mother.
Circumstances: Bonnie was working as a nanny and had recently moved into her own place. Around the time of her 18th birthday, she inherited approximately $50,000 and a piece of land from her grandparents. On the day she vanished, she withdrew a large sum of money from the bank and went to a local shopping center to meet an older man she was in a secret relationship with, allegedly to give him money for an investment in a business.
Disappearance and Investigation
Last Seen: Bonnie and Jeremy were last seen on the evening of April 28, 1993, at a Kash n' Karry grocery store (now a Walmart) parking lot in Brandon, Florida.
Abandoned Vehicle: Her silver 1988 Dodge Caravan was found abandoned in the parking lot two days later. The van was locked, and her purse, which contained $75 cash, and Jeremy's diaper bag were inside, but his car seat was missing.
Investigation Status: The man she was meeting was questioned by police, but no evidence was found to link him to the disappearance, and he was never charged. The case went cold, and Bonnie and Jeremy were eventually declared legally dead in 1999. However, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office continues to investigate the case as "Unfinished Business," regularly renewing calls for information.
Anyone with information about the case is urged to contact the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office at 813-247-8200.
