Her daughter Arianna, was last seen in late February in Oakland, California. On April 8, a gardener in the John McLaren Park discovered a large piece of wood resting behind a clump of ivy covered bushes with an odd silver character painted on it. Underneath the wood, the body of Nicole Fitts was discovered in a fetal position, in an uncovered, but previously covered by the wood, shallow grave. After her body was discovered, police focused their attention on the individuals who watched Arianna while her mother commuted 2 hours to go to work. Search for missing child: Efforts are ongoing to locate the missing toddler. The police investigated homes in Emeryville, Oakland, and Daly City, California and cited that those who had last seen Fitts were uncooperative with the initial interview process. Police identified three people of interest at a press conference, who were named as Helena and Devin Martin and Siolo Hearne. The sisters of Nicole Fitts told media outlets that they still believe that Arianna is alive, and one told reporters that she believed; "Someone wanted Arianna as their own." The family created a website to highlight the search, and offered a $10,000 USD reward to anyone with information that may help them locate Arianna. Best Buy also offered a $10,000 USD reward for direct information regarding Arianna.
