Baby Lalynn Dream Wilson disappeared on June 25, 2026, after leaving a residence in Dardanelle, Arkansas, with her mother, 20-year-old Ashlynn Bocksnick. Police had been dispatched to the home in response to a report of a possible suicidal person, but by the time officers arrived, Ashlynn had already left with her six-week-old daughter. Authorities immediately began searching for them after family members expressed concern for their safety.

A short time later, Ashlynn's vehicle was found abandoned at the boat ramp at Veteran's Park near the Arkansas River. Surveillance video captured Ashlynn arriving at the boat ramp, removing what investigators believe may have been the baby from the vehicle, and walking toward the water. Enhanced video later showed Ashlynn entering the water, but investigators have been unable to determine with certainty whether Lalynn was in her arms. Neither Ashlynn nor Lalynn has been found.

An extensive search involving dozens of law enforcement and emergency response agencies has covered more than 85 miles of the Arkansas River using boats, dive teams, drones, helicopters, K-9 teams, and aircraft. Difficult river conditions, including strong currents, high water, and extremely poor underwater visibility, have complicated the search. Authorities have stated that foul play is not currently suspected, and the investigation remains active.

Anyone with information about Baby Lalynn Dream Wilson or Ashlynn Bocksnick is urged to contact Yell County Dispatch at (479) 495-7911 immediately.
