Search underway for missing mother and 10-year-old daughter​

A search is underway for a missing mother and her daughter in Louisiana. Baton Rouge Police confirmed to UWK that the pair was reported missing around two weeks ago to the department.

Danielle Lea and her daughter Alayna, 10, were last seen between April & May in East Feliciana Parish, according to law enforcement and family. The mother and daughter are believed to be from East Feliciana Parish.

Sources tell UWK that search parties are currently looking near the Atchafalaya Basin in connection to their disappearance. UWK has also learned that multiple law enforcement agencies in Louisiana are involved in the ongoing investigation into the missing mother and daughter, including the U.S. Marshals.

Law enforcement sources and family of the missing mother and daughter say a man last seen with the pair was arrested in Galveston on July 27th. He’s been identified as James Michael Nona and is charged with an out-of-county warrant. UWK has learned that he was arrested for failure to register as a sex offender in a Louisiana parish. Nona is awaiting transport to Montgomery County, per sheriff’s office records.

The mother and daughter were not with him at the time of his arrest and it’s why the search is currently underway for the two. Law enforcement has not released any official details at this time on what his connection, if any, is to the case.

This doesn't sound good at all.

On Facebook:
I purchased her house from her in April and he was at closing. She kept crying and everyone knew something was up. They even tried to help her. Supposedly they headed to Texas immediately after.


Reading that made me sick and sad all at the same time! What do you do if you see this happening at a closing? Call authorities? Try to get her alone and ask what's wrong? We need to know what to do when women appear to be in distress! I'm not even sure what I would do!

Some probably just assumed she was sad selling. It happens a lot. After seeing so many home closings, I've probably seen as many with tears as not.

It appears his sex-offender status was for crimes against children.

I don't understand why there is hardly anything in the media for them. Apparently they were quiet before he was arrested because they were afraid they were in danger and of what he'd do. But now he's been arrested. Soooo....where's the big push to find them? There's stuff on Facebook, but next to nothing in MSM.
