On July 16, Imani Roberson took her four children to her mother's home for dinner, according to her mother. She reportedly left there around 5:30 p.m. to go home with two of her children (two decided to stay with their grandmother). Her mother, Clarine Andujar-White, became concerned when she did not hear from her daughter. She said during today's press conference that Roberson loves her children very much, and it was very out of character for her to not check on the two children left with grandma. On July 17, she went to Roberson's home but no one was there. That's when she decided to file a missing person report. The sheriff's office said during the press conference that they began working the case immediately and have been devoted to trying to find Roberson. Roberson's car, which had been burned, was found on July 27 in a wooded area off Camp Creek Parkway near Union Road in Atlanta. Roberson's father shared images of the vehicle with FOX 5 Atlanta along with Ring camera video from a home across the street from Roberson's office that shows the vehicle pulling out of the driveway at a high rate of speed on the day she went missing. All of Roberson's children are safe, but the sheriff would not discuss their location or answer any questions about Roberson's husband. The sheriff says they are currently working with the South Fulton Police Department, FBI, Georgia State Patrol and GBI on the case. The sheriff also confirmed that they have contacted several companies with cadaver dogs to help them look for the missing mother. Anyone with information about Roberson is asked to contact investigators at 770-228-8170.

A Dallas, Texas man was arrested this week after his girlfriend allegedly told him to "smoke" a girl he used to "talk to," according to reports. FOX 4 in Dallas reported that officers with the Dallas Police Department responded to a shooting on South Malcolm X Boulevard at about 1 a.m. on May 20. Investigators learned Keerstin Cooper was shot after getting into an argument with Breaira Martin, who became upset because Cooper used to "talk to" her boyfriend Gabriel Leuyas. Martin, police said, called Leuyas over during the fight and reportedly told him to "smoke" Cooper. Leuyas then grabbed a semi-automatic handgun tucked in his waistband and shot Cooper two times through the windshield. After Cooper was shot, another woman quickly entered the vehicle and drove her to the hospital, where Cooper later died, police said. Police also said surveillance video captured in the area shows the incident, and with the use of gang records, social media and body cam footage, detectives were able to identify the suspects as Leuyas and Martin. Both suspects were charged with murder, while Leuyas also faces a single charge of unlawfully carrying a weapon. Martin was also charged with resisting arrest.

Another unsolved missing person case is one that has been frustrating for prosecutors because they “know” what happened, but cannot prove their suspicions. That is the disappearance of Jessica Raquel Guillot of Simmesport, who was last seen on Sept. 7, 2013. Five people have been tried for charges related to her abduction. District Attorney Charles Riddle said murder charges will be brought if a witness or evidence is found to support those charges. Unless or until that happens, prosecutors have to be content with the convictions secured in the kidnapping case. At the time of her disappearance, Jessica Guillot stood 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighed 125 to 135 pounds. She had black/dark brown hair and brown eyes. She had a scar on the left side of her face from the corner of her mouth towards her left cheek. Jessica had a tattoo on her left hand of the letters “HBC.” Her middle name is “Raquel.” Her dental and DNA records are on file.

Chloe and her mother, Keir Johnson, were last seen in the 1900 block of Hastings Drive in Hampton, Virginia on April 30, 2017. Keir told her mother she planned to spend the day at Buckroe Beach with Chloe and a friend, but they never arrived for the meeting with Keir's friend, and neither of them have been heard from again. Their family reported them missing the next day. On May 14, Keir's black 2013 Kia Optima with the Virginia license plate number VAW-2197 was found abandoned at a trailer park at Jefferson Avenue and Arch Street in Newport News, Virginia.

The incident occurred on May 7, 1992. Her mother discovered Slade's body in a bathroom shared by two apartments in the multi-family home in Far Rockaway, an aptly-named and far-flung beachside community near Brooklyn and the Atlantic Ocean. It is considered the easternmost part of the Rockaway peninsula. Lewis “and others” had been inside the adjoining apartment – the one that used the same bathroom – the night before the murder, according to the DA's office. The victim and her alleged killer are not believed to have known one another before the murder. Cold for years, the case was recently reopened by the DA's office and the NYPD. Last year, the joint investigation requested the New York City Medical Examiner's Office to test for DNA under the victim's preserved fingernail clippings. That genetic testing was the break that had long eluded law enforcement.   According to Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz, the DNA test results linked Lewis to the crime. In response to an inquiry from Law&Crime, a spokesperson for the DA's office said the defendant's DNA turned up in CODIS, a nationwide DNA database maintained by the FBI. The defendant is being held without bail. After his arraignment, Queens Supreme Court Justice Kenneth Holder ordered Lewis to return to court for another hearing on June 7. If convicted as currently charged, Lewis faces up to 25 years to life in prison. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/leah-gordone/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/leah-gordone/support

Tiera Strand's body was found in a North Temple ditch on April 21, five days after she was last seen leaving a bar on Austin's 6th street. Her family suspects foul play is involved. There's no reason why she would be that far without her belongings. Without someone she knows and is close to. She would not have gone to that area without someone that knows and loves her,” said Strand's aunt, Jordaya Dorris. While out with her friends, Strand would get into a fight and later kicked out of the bar, leaving her phone, wallet and keys behind.   With Strand's location unknown, her friends decided to leave 6th Street and drive her van home, not alerting Strand's family to any of this until the next day. “That is when they should've called the cops. They never should've gotten in that van and drove off, leaving her god knows where,” said Strand's cousin, Jessica Williams. The search and rescue for the 25-year-old mother is now a homicide investigation. Her family is now reflecting on how infectious her positive spirit was. If you have any information regarding this case, please notify BCSD CID at 254-933-5442 or Austin Police Department at 512-472-8477. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/leah-gordone/support

Message from mother via GoFundMe: My name is Tarsha Harris. I am the mother of 22-year-old Tyeasha Starks and grandmother of 1-year-old Tanceton Currie. On February 20th, my daughter, Tyeasha Starks, was shot and killed by Tanceton's paternal grandfather while attempting to pick up Tanceton from his paternal grandparents' home. After being shot multiple times, Tyeasha attempted to drive away but drove off the road into a nearby neighbor's yard. At the time, she also had two friends and an infant in the car with her. Upon my arrival on the scene, I was given limited information in regards to what had occurred. About 30 minutes later, the medical examiner informed me that Tyeasha did not survive, and I was not given the courtesy of identifying my daughter's body before being transferred to Nashville for an autopsy. It saddens me that my grandson may have witnessed the killing of his mother, and I fear for Tanceton's safety because the system failed to immediately remove him from an unstable environment during an active investigation of the shooter. I was told that Child Protective Services was called and would contact me the next day, but none of this ever happened. So I was forced to file a case myself with Child Protective Services. This entire investigation has lacked thoroughness, transparency, and clear communication.
