Aleacia was last seen in Phoenix, Arizona on December 19, 1994. Her mother, Toni L. Stancil, reported her missing in March 1995, three months later. A photo of Toni is posted below this case summary.

Toni, an Air Force veteran, was involved with drugs and prostitution in 1994. She said she left Aleacia in the care of an African-American female whom she knew only as Dee, in the area of north 12th Avenue and east Van Buren Street. Three or four days later, Toni returned to the area where she knew Dee would be likely to be, but couldn't find her. She said she never saw Dee or her daughter again.

Toni was murdered in December 1995, at the age of 37. Her body was found behind the old Ruth and Hartley Barker building near 16th Street and Polk in Phoenix. The murder remains unsolved. Since Toni was the only witness in Aleacia's presumed abduction, authorities felt unable to proceed with the investigation and the case grew cold. Aleacia remains listed as a missing child, however, and has an aunt who hopes she will be found. Few details are available in the baby's case.
