Marysville Police and family are asking for help in finding 4-year-old Lillianna Nardini, who was last seen at the Burger King on Gratiot Avenue in Marysville on Monday night.
The child, described in the press release as brown-haired, brown-eyed, three feet tall and thirty pounds, was last seen being dropped off by an unidentified individual to her father, 46-year-old Erik Nardini, at the restaurant around 10:30 p.m. on January 9.
According to police, Mr. Nardini had recently lost custody of his daughter, and was court ordered to turn Lillianna over to her mother. Instead of complying with the order, they believe Nardini took the child and ran, telling Lillianna’s mother she would never see their daughter again.
While investigators do not know what clothes Lillianna was wearing when she disappeared, they are urging the public to keep an eye out for a 2018 charcoal gray Chevy Silverado, license plate number CSP838.
If you see these vehicles or have other information related to the disappearance, you can call Marysville Police at (810) 364-6300, or the assisting Port Huron Police Department at (810) 984-5383.
With the search still ongoing, authorities are also telling the public that if they see the child or her father, do not approach, and instead call 911.
