Arianna-Fitts…is one of the missing and unidentified person cases, which poses one of the most significant challenges to agencies tasked with resolving these critical cases.
Despite this, over 600,000 individuals go missing in the United StatesAMP every year.
Many missing children and adults are quickly found, alive and well.
Then again, tens of thousands of the peopleAMP remain missing for more than one year – what many agencies consider “cold cases.”
Another critical point is an estimated 4,400 unidentified bodies are recovered each year, with approximately 1,000 of those bodies remaining unidentified after one year.[1]
As an example, below is an article that updates the case of two-year-old Arianna Fitts in San Francisco, California.
As the report states, her mother, Nicole Fitts, was murdered, and her body was found buried in McLaren Park in San Francisco.
Furthermore, Arianna has been missing for five years, and her Aunt more than likely would love to get her back home.
I don’t believeAMP this little girl vanished without anyone knowing something about her disappearance.
Above all, there is someone out there with information concerning the murder of the mother. I’m sure the family would love to get some closure.
It has been five years since this little girl went missing; it is beyond time for her to come home.
The FBI is hoping a new podcast can generate a new lead in the case of a missing Bay Area girl.
In April of 2016, the body of 32-year-old Nicole Fitts was found in San Francisco’s McLaren Park.
Police say the mother of two was buried in a small, shallow grave and covered with plywood.
The focus then turned to find Nicole’s daughter, then 2-year-old Arianna Fitts, who remains missing today.
Police have not named any suspects or persons of interest in the case.
Arianna Fitts was last seen in Oakland, California, in February 2016 :
and was reported missing from San Francisco, California, in April 2016.

The FBI is hoping the latest episode of its “Inside the FBI” podcast doesn’t just reach crime junkies nationwide,
but someone closer to the Bay Area who might remember a crucial detail in the case.
“We’re hoping that the podcast helps peopleAMP remember what happened, think about that time,” FBI spokesperson Katherine Zackel said.
Even though more than five years have gone by, the FBI says the case is very much active thanks to new evidence.
Investigators re-questioned witnesses, and with time, there are recent forensic advancements that could help pinpoint Nicole Fitts’ killer.
“I can’t talk about the specific evidence in this case, but I can say that it does fall into those two categories: digital and biological,” Zankel said.
Earlier this year, police released a sketch showing what Arianna may look like at seven years old.”
