Atlantic City police can finally question the mother of a toddler who has been missing for more than 22 years.
The child's father found her by accident.
Authorities had been looking in vain for Bonita Sanders since February. That's when police got a tip about where the body of the toddler also named Bonita Sanders may have been left in September 1986.
