Alexis resided with her mother and stepfather, Ayanna and LaRon Bourgeois, in Milwaukee. LaRon walked Alexis to Hi-Mount Boulevard School in the 4920 block of West Garfield Avenue near 49th Street at approximately 8:00 a.m. on May 3, 2002. Alexis was a first-grade student there. The school is less than one block from the family's home. Alexis disappeared right after that.

This case has swept the entire state with concern. The detail and the amount of investigation is enormous. Therefore I will keep it simple and let you read it from the sources.
