The Dallas Police Department has provided an exact timeline of events in the kidnapping of 7-year-old Lillie May Anderson. Lillie May was found safe walking by herself after midnight.
On June 11, 2023, at approximately 12:00 pm, seven-year-old Lillie May Anderson and a nine-year-old child left an apartment in the 1500 block of Argentia Drive in South Dallas (Wynnewood North area).
As they were walking, the two children were approached by a black male, approximately 30 years old, short dark hair, in a gray crossover type vehicle with spots of color missing. The man offered a ride to the children, who get into the car.
