Overview of Amiah Robertson
Amiah Robertson, 8 months old, was last seen March 9, 2019, with her mother's then-boyfriend, Robert Lyons, at a home in the 200 block of South Holmes Avenue. However, Amiah was not reported missing until March 16, 2019. Indiana State Police issued a Silver Alert for Amiah Robertson on March 19, 2019 — 10 days after the child was last seen. Detectives said the investigation was hindered because they received conflicting statements from witnesses and family. The Silver Alert was canceled on March 21, 2019. On March 23, Police announced that Amiah's case was now a homicide investigation. On Sept. 9, 2022, more than three years after Amiah Robertson disappeared, a Marion County grand jury on indicted Amber Robertson and Robert Lyons on felony charges of neglect of a dependent stemming from Amiah's disappearance. The indictment alleges Robertson and Lyons knowingly placed Amiah in a situation that endangered the child's life and resulted in serious bodily injury.
