On June 10, 2025, Nola Dinkins' mother reported that her 3-year-old daughter was abducted at gunpoint by an unknown man while they were in Ogletown, Delaware.

The mother claimed that the alleged abductor placed Nola in the backseat of a vehicle driven by a woman, prompting an immediate response from law enforcement.

An Amber Alert was issued, leading to extensive search efforts throughout the night for the missing girl.

However, the investigation took a serious turn when authorities canceled the Amber Alert after determining that the mother's account was false.

Investigators later arrested Nola's mother for felony falsely reporting an abduction in Delaware.

The case has since shifted from an abduction investigation to a homicide investigation, raising grave concerns about Nola's well-being.

On June 11, 2025, human remains believed to belong to a child were discovered in a vacant lot, although positive identification is pending.

The Maryland State Police have taken over the investigation, collaborating with county detectives and the FBI as they seek further information.

Authorities have indicated that they will provide updates as the investigation progresses and have encouraged the public to share any relevant information.

While no suspects have been disclosed, officials assure the public that there is no ongoing threat related to this incident.

New Castle County Police confirmed that there is no immediate danger to the public as the investigation continues.

The investigation quickly escalated, with the FBI and local police conducting an intensive search in the area where the alleged abduction took place.
