Key Information Suggests that Lisa Miller is Alexis Patterson
Seven year old Alexis Patterson of Milwaukee, WI went missing in May 2002 after her stepfather, LaRon Bourgeois, walked her to school. Alexis was not in class on the day she went missing, but was reportedly seen by classmates on the playground that morning. Alexis attended Hi Mount Elementary School, which was one block from her mother Ayanna Patterson’s home.
Bourgeois failed a polygraph test, but the questions that were failed were not released to the public. Investigators did not believe the step father played any involvement in Alexis’ disappearance. Ayanna separated from LaRon shortly after Alexis disappeared. Kenya Campbell, Alexis’ biological father was imprisoned during her disappearance. Investigators also ruled him out as a being involved.
In July 2016, Milwaukee Police received information from a man named Joshua Miller of Bryan, OH who believed his ex wife, Lisa Miller, was indeed Alexis Patterson. Joshua and Lisa married in 2009 and divorced in 2013. Joshua told reporters that there were things about Lisa’s past that did not add up. Joshua said Lisa had no memory of her childhood “prior to the age of 10.” Joshua traveled to Milwaukee with his son (that he shares with Lisa) to meet with Ayanna. He told Colleen Henry of WISN 12 that Ayanna “knows that’s her child.” He said Alexis and Lisa have a birth mark in the “exact same spot.”
In July 2016, Milwaukee Police stated that DNA results indicated Lisa was not Alexis. However, Ayanna questioned the results stating that the police department used a toothbrush from 2002 that may not have belonged to Alexis. Ayanna also stated that she had just given the investigators her own DNA a day prior to the results being released.
I wrote about this in 2019. Read more here.
Note: A woman named Toshinique came out in 2024 stating that she is Alexis Patterson. This was exposed as a lie after her family members went to social media and exposed her mental health issues. They also showed pictures of her mother and father (who she looks just like).
Information Suggests that Lisa Miller is Alexis Patterson
According to Ayanna’s Facebook post (which has been deleted) Josh traveled to Milwaukee to meet her shortly after the breaking news in 2016. According to Ayanna, they took an independent DNA test using his son’s DNA (the child he had with Lisa/Alexis) and it come back as a match. In 2016, she even posted a picture of her and Lisa/Alexis’ son to her Facebook page stating that he is her grandson. See image below:
People are in denial and that Alexis Patterson might be living in Bryan, Oh under a new identity…
According to Josh, Lisa/Alexis had no memory of her childhood which he found odd. This led him to look into the missing children’s database in which he found Alexis Patterson’s profile. He believed the photo of Alexis looked like his ex wife, Lisa. According to Josh and Ayanna, Lisa has the same exact birth marks as Alexis.
If Alexis is in fact Lisa Miller, this means she was only 14 years old when he married her and 11 years old when she had her first child (which she had from a previous relationship). Of course, the age would have been unbeknownst to both Josh and Lisa/Alexis because she had been presumably brainwashed.
According to several comments Josh left on a YouTube video, he suspects that her “parents” Lincoln and Shirley Andrews kidnapped her and brainwashed her. This might sound extreme to some, but she was only seven at the time of the abduction so it is possible. He also stated that Lisa/Alexis’ “father/kidnapper” is also the father of her daughter.
Here’s how things get even more suspicious…
In 2016, Shii Andrews (Lisa/Alexis’ sister) wrote this on Facebook:
“This has become devastating news in Bryan, Oh…I am disgusted, outraged, hurt, and most importantly disappointing in the things I’ve found out over the past two days. I am mostly disappointed in myself for not knowing what was going on before my eyes. This goes to show you that not everything is what it seems. Your birth mother is cruel and should be ashamed of herself she is a selfish bitch!! You are still my sister and I love you….” See the full post below:
In 2018, Shonda Kerr (Lisa/Alexis’ cousin) posted a message on Facebook stating to Lisa/Alexis “U been through alot…Let it know dat the only mother you have is my aunt.” See the Facebook post below:
It seems that both relatives are admitting that Lisa is Alexis. The question is, how did Josh really make the connection to Alexis Patterson? After all, he is the one who contacted the Milwaukee police department in 2016. He say’s it was because Lisa didn’t remember her childhood and it took him four years of research, but there seems to be more to that story.
Were Ayanna and Josh paid and/or told to keep quiet about the situation?
Josh stated via YouTube comments that him and his new wife contacted the FBI to investigate the situation. After doing so, he says he received threats and was told to keep quiet about the case. If this is true, why?
In a 2022 interview with News Nation, Ayanna said she knows Lisa is Alexis. She said there are higher people involved and the Milwaukee police is covering up certain information.
In a live stream from 2024, Ayanna stated that she knows Toshinique is not Alexis because she found Alexis back in 2016. She said that she believes Toshinique was “sent” as a distraction.
Ayanna stated that the Milwaukee police department lied about the 2016 DNA results. She didn’t make any further comments about the possible cover up. Why not?
Was Lisa/Alexis sold to the Andrews? Does Ayanna (and step father who is now deceased) know more than what they were telling the Milwaukee police at the time of her abduction?
Bryan, Oh is a city with many missing children who are now adults living under new identities?
In 2016, when the news broke that Lisa Miller might be Alexis Patterson a Facebook group titled “The Whole Milwaukee” connected people from Lisa/Alexis’ Facebook friends to other missing children. Using images only, the group connected a woman to Tionda Bradley of Chicago, IL (who went missing in 2001 at the age of 10). They also connected one of Lisa/Alexis’ friends to Stacy Rudolph of Medford, WI (who went missing in 2002 at the age of 13). The Facebook group was deleted quickly after, but made a reemergence years later. This is only speculation, but fact can be stranger than fiction. See images below:
The possible Stacy Rudolph connection
Stacy was 13 years old when she went missing from Medford, WI in December 2000 (one year and five months before Alexis’ disappearance). The investigative files on Alexis Patterson reveals that a source told the Milwaukee police that Laron and three other men kidnapped a 17 year girl from La Crosse, WI a year before Alexis’ disappearance. The source said they returned the girl for $50,000 and 15 grams of heroin.
Perhaps the source accidentally mixed up areas and the girl’s age. Medford, WI is a three and a half hour commute from Milwaukee. La Crosse is also a three hour commute from Milwaukee.
If you’re not familiar with the case, Stacy’s mom (Lori Ann Krueger) left a note in the father’s mailbox stating that she was taking Stacy with her. He said Lori moved around an abnormal amount and at one point her and Stacy lived in Milwaukee. Stacy is still missing.
Interesting…
If what Ayanna and Josh are saying is true, Lisa Miller is Alexis Patterson and the Milwaukee police is in on the cover up. Do you think Lisa looks like Alexis? See image below:
In 2024, Kenya Campbell, Alexis’ biological father published a book titled “22 Year of Hell: The Alexis Patterson Story” about her disappearance. He was in prison during the time of her abduction, but was released days later. According to him, the step father Laron was a drug dealer who owed money to his plug and Alexis was used as payment. This was the ongoing rumor since 2002.
The files on the Alexis Patterson investigation are now open to the public. Information suggests that Alexis was used as payment…
The files on the Alexis Patterson investigation are now open to the public. Investigative reporter, Gina Barton, used the information from the files to attempt to piece together information. The files revealed that Laron was a drug dealer who repeatedly robbed others and had been robbed many times before Alexis’ disappearance.
Years prior to Alexis’ disappearance, a man tied up Ayanna and Alexis and held them at gunpoint until Laron returned home. When he came home, Laron gave the man money. In 2000, two men held Ayanna at gunpoint and told her that they needed to get in touch with Laron. When he returned home, they took $1,700 from him and an ounce of cocaine.
A month before Alexis disappeared, Laron’s plug fronted him $7,000 worth of cocaine. Laron paid him $1,900 and told him he would get him the rest of the money. The morning of Alexis’ disappearance, Laron lied and told the plug that he had to flush the drugs because the cops raided the home.
A neighbor also told the police that a group of men confronted Laron at the home two days before Alexis disappeared.
A man who was interviewed by the Milwaukee police told them that Laron called him the afternoon Alexis disappeared and said, “They took my baby.” The friend told the police that Laron tried to sell him two bricks of cocaine. He said he didn’t understand how a small time drug dealer would have such a large stash on hand.
Five people told the police that Laron ripped off the drug supplier and the head king pin owing them $80,000. They said Alexis was taken and lived “down south” with the supplier’s sister.
One of the informants also told the police that Laron walked Alexis to school. When he saw the men he owed money to, he ran leaving Alexis by herself. That’s when they grabbed her and drove away.
A tipster also told police that Laron and another drug dealer kidnapped a girl from La Cross, WI a year before Alexis disappeared. They were given $50,000 and 15 grams of heroine for her to return home safely.
Laron died of an overdose?
In 2021, Laron and his wife were found dead in their home. This was right before he was going to tell police who kidnapped Alexis. This would have given him immunity from a bank robbery case he had years prior.
Connecting the dots
Based on the information in the open police files, it seems that Alexis could’ve been a pawn in Laron’s drug game. If she is in fact Lisa Miller, that would mean the Andrews were connected in some way. If Alexis was actually sent “down south” to live with the plug’s sister, perhaps they eventually sent her to Bryan, Oh or the informant intentionally said she was down south to throw things off a bit.
In the live stream I mentioned earlier, Ayanna said Shirley Andrews called her and told her that Alexis was living down south and that she was not Lisa Miller in Bryan, Oh. Ayanna said she knew for a fact that wasn’t true. She said Shirley has a history of falsifying documents (alluding that the birth certificate Lisa/Alexis showed the Milwaukee and Bryan police was fake).
Maybe if…
If Ayanna speaks up, it’s possible that the proper authorities might get involved. Perhaps the case needs to go higher than the Milwaukee police department. After all, it was the Milwaukee police officers that allowed a nude, bloody, and incoherent 14 year old Konerack Sinthasomphone to go back to the apartment with serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. He killed Konerack the same night. Not to mention the various reports against Dahmer that went ignored by the Milwaukee police.
This case makes one wonder how many other missing children are living somewhere with a new identity. Carlina White and Kamiyah Mobley are true stories of two girls who were abducted and raised by their kidnappers only to find out later that their life story was a lie.
