27 year-old Egypt Covington was brutally murdered inside her own home in Van Buren Township, Michigan on June 22nd, 2017. Around this time, Egypt was about to start a new chapter in her life. Her boyfriend Curtis Meadows was planning on moving into her place the following month, and the couple was excited about taking this next step together. The two had been in an off-and-on relationship for almost 10 years, but had finally decided to commit to one another for good.

On the evening of June 23rd, 2017, Curtis went over to Egypt’s house after being unable to contact her all day. When he arrived, he saw Egypt’s car in the parking lot and the door to her house wide open. Curtis then approached the house and found Egypt’s dog, Ruby, barking near the hallway. When he looked to see what the dog was barking at, Curtis found Egypt’s body face down on the floor. Her hands had been bound behind her back with Christmas lights and she had been shot to death.

Investigators immediately believed that Egypt knew her killer. There was no sign of forced entry or robbery on the scene. Inevitably, Egypt’s boyfriend Curtis was thoroughly interrogated, but eventually cleared of suspicion. Almost a year after the murder, in March 2018, investigators finally announced they had a person of interest: Egypt’s ex-boyfriend Kenny Michalak.

Kenny and Egypt dated during a time period when she was broken up with Curtis. According to Egypt’s loved ones, their relationship was volatile. Kenny had apparently gotten physical with Egypt in the past, and had also been controlling and verbally abusive towards her. Curtis told police that, after he and Egypt had gotten back together, he saw Kenny lurking around Egypt’s car while it was parked at Curtis’s apartment complex. The last known time that Egypt personally encountered Kenny was at the Belleville National Strawberry Festival, shortly before her death. At that event, Kenny had apparently found out that Curtis and Egypt were moving in together, and he angrily confronted the couple. A week after that encounter, Egypt was found dead.

Kenny has denied being involved in Egypt’s murder. Despite being publicly named a person of interest, police have still not charged him with anything related to Egypt’s case. Egypt’s mother, Tina Covington, is not 100% sure that Kenny is the killer. While she acknowledges that Egypt and Kenny had a toxic relationship, she believes that police named him as a person of interest due to the pressure to blame somebody for the crime.

The investigation in Egypt’s murder is still ongoing. If you have any information that could held lead to the arrest of Egypt’s killer, please Crime Stoppers of Michigan at (800) SPEAK-UP.

Brookelyn Farthing (18) has been missing from Berea, Kentucky since June 22nd, 2013. On the night prior to her disappearance, Brookelyn attended a party with her cousin and sister. Early into the night, her cousin and sister decided to leave the party early, and Brookelyn arranged to get a ride home from a friend later. However, Brookelyn and said friend apparently got into an argument, and the friend left without her. Brookelyn then caught a ride with a male acquaintance named Josh Hensley. The two went to his house after leaving the party. While there, Brookelyn texted several different people asking them to come pick her up. Her ex-fiance said he would pick her up after he got off work that morning, to which Brookelyn replied, “please hurry, I’m scared.”

Around 5:30am, her ex-fiance received another text from Brookelyn’s phone, stating “nevermind, I’m okay. I am going to a party in Rockcastle County.” As a result, the ex-fiance never went to pick Brookelyn up and she never returned home after that. Josh Hensley allegedly left his home early that morning to go move some horses in a nearby field. He claims that he returned to his house around 7am to find the couch where Brookelyn was sitting on fire, and Brookelyn was gone. However, her purse and some pieces of her clothing were left behind. The fire was deemed “suspicious” by investigators.

Police believe that Brookelyn was taken against her will. They also believe that the final text message from Brookelyn’s phone about the party in Rockcastle County was actually sent by somebody else. Despite extensive searches, no trace of Brookelyn has been found. Her case remains open and active.

In 2020, Hensley and two other men were arrested and charged with child sexual exploitation. While Hensley has never formally been named as a suspect in Brookelyn’s case, many still believe he has information about her disappearance. Still, not arrests have been made in her case. 

If you have any information about Brookelyn or her whereabouts, please report it here.

Jerome Johnson has been missing since March 30th, 2016. The 58 year-old was last seen in Jacksonville, Florida, where he lived in the 1300 block of West 22nd Street. Jerome had only lived there for a few months at the time of his disappearance. He was discovered to be missing on April 1st, 2016, when his landlady went to his home to collect his rent. The landlady had unsuccessfully attempted to contact Jerome numerous times before she decided to enter his apartment. Upon entering, she stumbled upon a frightening scene: there was blood all over Jerome’s bedroom, and Jerome himself was nowhere to be found. The landlady called police, and investigators arrived on the scene shortly thereafter. Once the scene was investigated, it was determined that the amount of blood found in Jerome’s bedroom was enough to indicate that a homicide had occurred. However, Jerome himself has not been located, nor have any suspects been identified. Police have revealed very little information about the investigation. In July 2019, human remains were found in a wooded area off Utsey Road–located just 8 miles away from Jerome’s residence. This inevitably lead to speculation that the remains might belong to Jerome. The remains were ultimately identified as that of Corbin Johnson--an 18 year-old who had vanished a year earlier. Corbin is also a victim of an unsolved murder. A write up on his case can be found here. It’s unknown if investigators believe that Jerome and Corbin’s cases are related, but they did occur within close proximity of each other, and both cases remain unsolved. Jerome remains missing today. If you have any information that could lead to his whereabouts, please submit an anonymous tip.

Ilsy Puac-Alvarado was only 15 years old when she vanished from her family’s Newport News, Virginia home on September 25th, 2014. The teen girl was last seen by her mother, who reportedly left their home around 12pm to run errands. When Ilsy’s mother returned shortly before 4pm, Ilsy was gone. She never returned home and her loved ones have not seen or heard from her again. Ilsy was approximately 8 months pregnant at the time of her disappearance. Investigators later learned that Ilsy gave birth at a hospital in Harris County, Texas on October 28th 2014–over a month after she vanished. Said location is over 1,300 miles away from Ilsy’s home in Virginia. It’s unclear how Ilsy ended up there, and there are very few other details available about her case. 

Ilsy has been classified as a runaway, and it is very likely that someone helped her travel to Texas. It appears that there has not been any additional information about Ilsy’s case since investigators learned that she had given birth. Both Ilsy and her child remain missing today. If you have any information that could lead to Ilsy’s whereabouts, please go here to submit an anonymous tip.

Fundraiser Friday Jan. 8 2021

This week I am featuring two missing persons cases for Fundraiser Friday. Please share and consider donating!

Christian Muse

Christian Muse disappeared at the age of 19 on July 15th, 2012. He was last seen in the Glass Manor area of Oxon Hill, Maryland. Christian never returned home, and he has never been seen or heard from again. Nine months later, Christian’s father Michael Muse was contacted by a DC Police detective who was investigating a separate case that might be linked to Christian. In a time before Christian vanished, he was reportedly exploited by a group of adults who ran a child trafficking ring. There’s a possibility that this is linked to his disappearance. Christian’s father has created a GoFundMe page in hopes to raise the reward money in the case.

Michael McClain

Michael McClain vanished during the early-morning hours of April 21st, 2019. The 29 year-old lived in Manchester, New Hampshire at the time of his disappearance, but he was last seen at a nightclub in nearby Nashua. Michael was at the club with friends when a fight broke out between two women. He reportedly knew one of the women, and he attempted to separate the two women when the fight escalated outside of the building. Police arrived on the scene shortly thereafter, which led the crowd of people to disperse in different directions. At that point, Michael’s friends became separated from him. He never returned to his friend’s house to retrieve his car and has never been seen or heard from again.  Michael’s family is raising money for a private investigator.

Sebastian Tyrese Husted—known as “Ty” by family and friends—pictured at 18 years old. The picture on the right is the last known image of Ty before he vanished. He has been missing since January 22nd, 2018.

Ty posted the picture to his Facebook page three days earlier, on January 19th. That same day, he also wrote “Feels good to be workin’ again” in a Facebook post. Ty was referring to a job he had recently gotten as a power washer at a hog farm in Mercer County, Missouri. The hog farm was over an hour’s drive away from his family’s home in Centerville Iowa. On the day Ty was last seen, he arranged to carpool with a coworker to the farm. However, after being driven there, Ty reportedly texted his brother and asked him to pick him up, as his coworker was acting strange and aggressive. His brother replied to ask for an address, but Ty never got back to him. He never returned home and has never been seen or heard from again. Ty was reported missing two days later.

Ty’s family members later learned that the co-worker returned to Centerville without him. Police inevitably questioned this man, but according to Ty’s family, nothing ever came of their questioning. Police looked at Ty’s cell phone records, which revealed that his final phone ping was near the hog farm on the day of his disappearance. Eventually, searches were conducted in that area, and pits at the hog farm were drained, but unfortunately no clues were found. These searches not conducted until weeks after his disappearance, so many believed that they were conducted too late. By this point, evidence could have potentially been destroyed by the hogs or other environmental factors on the farm.

Ty’s sister Ieesha Husted told reporters that she believes there was no urgency in the early stages of Ty’s disappearance because investigators thought he was missing on his own accord. However, Ty’s family members find this unlikely. Ty had a child on the way, who has since been born. Ty was reportedly looking forward to becoming a father, and he was glad to be working so he could support the child. Police are now classifying Ty as a missing endangered person, and foul play has not been ruled out.

Ieesha also told reporters that their family has tried to reach out to the co-worker Ty was last seen with on many occasions. They have not received any replies from him. It is unclear if police are still investigating this man. He has not been identified in the public.

There is a $1000 reward in place for any information that could lead to Ty’s whereabouts. If you have any information that could help, please contact Mercer County Sheriff’s Office at [phone].

Robin Monique Ellis (37) has been missing since December 7th, 2003. She was last seen around 5pm that day at her job at Woodland Village Pizza in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Robin was set to deliver four separate pizza orders that evening. It has been confirmed that she delivered at least one of them, however the other deliveries were never confirmed and she never returned to the pizza parlor. Two days later, the car Robin was driving was found abandoned on northbound Highway 95. There was no sign of a struggle or foul play at the scene. Unfortunately, there was no sign of Robin, either. She has never been seen or heard from again.

After she was reported missing, both investigators and Robin’s family members theorized that Robin may have been harmed by one of her customers. However, investigators are not sure if she was harmed by a customer from Woodland Village Pizza. It was rumored that Robin was also working illegally as an unlicensed cab driver around the time of her disappearance. Police have theorized that this particular job might have put Robin in harm’s way. This was not the only potential theory, though. Robin’s Philadelphia home was only burglarized twice prior to this disappearance, and police are also still unsure if those crimes are related to her disappearance.

Robin’s family members have never thought she voluntarily went missing, as it would be uncharacteristic for her to be out-of-touch with her son. Her case remains unsolved. If you have any information that could lead to Robin’s whereabouts, please contact the Philadelphia Police Department at 215-685-3258. (x)

Joshua Redfield was reported missing by his mother on December 8th, 2016. The 18 year-old was last seen by his family members the previous day. Joshua left his family’s Ogden, New York that afternoon after telling his mother that he was going to go visit his sister. He reportedly never arrived to see his sister, and he never returned home. After not hearing from him for 24 hours, Joshua’s mother reported him missing.

Five days later, investigators appealed to the public for any information about Joshua’s disappearance. A large aerial search of the area was conducted, but unfortunately no clues were found. Additionally, detectives were assigned to work the case full time, but they were unable to locate Joshua or find any clues that led to his whereabouts. Those closest to Joshua were extremely baffled by his disappearance. It was unusual for him to be out of touch with his eight siblings and his close friends. According to Joshua’s mother, his loved ones held out hope that he just needed to get away for awhile and would eventually return home.

In February 2017, a man named Dan Elliot was arrested in connection to an illegal gambling investigation in Rochester. His arrest led to speculation that Joshua’s disappearance was somehow related to the gambling investigation. The speculation was likely due to the fact Joshua’s step brother was serving jail time at the time of Joshua’s disappearance for breaking into and trying to burn down an alleged illegal gambling joint in Rochester. However, the detectives working Joshua’s case said they were unable to find a link between Joshua’s disappearance and the gambling investigation. A few weeks later, on February 18th, 2017, an unnamed witness called police after spotting a body on the north bank of the Erie Canal in Spencerport. Just days later, the body was confirmed to be that of Joshua Redfield. The spot where he was found is located just blocks away from his family’s home. Since the discovery of Joshua’s body, there has been very little news about the investigation into his death. A cause of death has still never been made public. Joshua’s case remains unsolved. If you have any information that could help solve the case, please go here to submit an anonymous tip.

17 year-old Breana Rouhselang was murdered by 16 year-old Aaron Trejo on December 9th, 2018. The two teens are from Mishawaka, Indiana–where Aaron played football at the local high school, and Breana competed as a cheerleader. Breana and Aaron first met when they were in elementary school, but they reportedly only began to have a romantic relationship during 2018.

At some point during their relationship, Breana learned that she was pregnant. She reportedly waited until she was about 20 weeks along to tell Aaron that he had fathered her child. By then, it was too late to get an abortion. This infuriated Aaron, and he spent a week formulating a plan to solve his problem. On the evening of December 8th, Aaron asked Breana to meet up and discuss the pregnancy. Around 11pm, they met up in an alley behind her family’s home. Unbeknownst to Breana, Aaron had a knife and a garbage bag in his possession when they met. He allegedly confronted Breana over the fact that she told him about her pregnancy after it was too late to get an abortion. According to Aaron, an argument ensued and he ended up strangling Breana with her scarf before stabbing her to death. He then placed the garbage bag over her head and then placed her body in a restaurant dumpster located a block away.

After Breana’s body was found, her family members told police that she had left their home around 11pm to talk to Aaron. When police located and questioned Aaron, he initially denied meeting up with Breana that night. However, after being confronted with physical evidence, he admitted that Breana was pregnant with his child, and he was upset about it being too late for an abortion. When the detectives asked what he did about it, Aaron replied “I took action… I took her life.”

Aaron was arrested and charged as an adult with murder and feticide in connection with the death of both Breana and her unborn fetus. Despite admitting to the crime, he has entered a preliminary plea of not guilty. He currently remains behind bars in St. Joseph’s County.

[truecrimecrystals]

UPDATE: On October 31st, 2019, Aaron Trejo pleaded guilty to the murder of Breana Rouhselang and the feticide of their unborn child. In exchange for this guilty plea, the State has agreed to not file any additional charges against him. Reports state that Aaron will the sentenced in January 2020. He faces up to 80 years in prison.

[truecrimecrystals]

UPDATE: In January 2020, Aaron was sentenced to 65 years in prison. The judge handed down a sentence of 55 years for the murder of Breana, plus an additional ten years for the murder of their unborn child.

Pictured above: The last known image of Jamekia Sabb.

The 17 year-old girl posted the above image to her Facebook page on November 20th, 2013. Two days later, Jamekia vanished. She has never been seen or heard from again.

It is believed that Jamekia left her family’s Charlotte, North Carolina home on her own accord. She was labeled as a runaway by investigators, and all search efforts for the young girl were minimal at best. Additionally, there has been very little information about Jamekia’s case in the media. Jamekia’s loved ones initially had hope that she would return home safely. However, as the months turned into years without any sign of her, Jamekia’s loved ones began to believe that she might have come to harm.

In 2019, a petition related to Jamekia’s case was created on Change.org. The petition’s purpose is to bring more attention to her disappearance and to appeal to investigators to take a fresh look at the case. The petition’s creator also appealed to friends of Jamekia, writing “[Jamekia’s] friends were just teenagers at the time of her disappearance, 6 years is enough time to mature and realize the importance of giving even the smallest piece of information to the investigators. Requestioning the same individuals as well as new individuals is vital. Someone knows something or seen something. She did not just vanish.”

Jamekia remains missing today. If you’d like to sign the petition to bring more attention to her case, please go here. Additionally, if you have any information that could lead to Jamekia’s whereabouts, please go here to submit an anonymous tip.

Nicole Maurice Smith (33) has been missing since December 11th, 2016. She was last seen on the corner of Longacre and Chicago street in Detroit, Michigan. Nicole and her four children were living in transitional housing at the time of her disappearance. The day she was last seen, she arranged to meet up with her grandfather at 5pm but never showed up. When Nicole’s grandfather went to her home, she was not there—however the grandfather stated that he saw footprints leading up to the curb that made it seem as if someone had recently left via car.

The following morning, Nicole’s one year-old son was found wandering alone on the corner of Plymouth Road and Warwick Street. The police were notified, and a local news channel displayed the boy’s picture on their program. The boy’s grandfather saw the segment and identified him as his grandson/Nicole’s son. Nicole was nowhere to be found at this point and she was reported missing shortly thereafter.  

Prior to her disappearance, Nicole reportedly told her friends and family members that she was planning to meet up with a man she met on Facebook. She never said who the man was or when they were planning to meet, so it is unclear if this person has anything to do with her disappearance. However, Nicole’s loved ones do not think she is missing on her own accord, as it is quite uncharacteristic for her to leave her children behind. Her family members fear that she is deceased.

The Detroit Police Department is investigating Nicole’s case. If you have any information that could lead to her whereabouts, please call 313-596-2221.

[truecrimecrystals]

UPDATE (1/2019): Nicole’s ex-boyfriend Robert Autrey has pleaded guilty to her murder in the second-degree. Autrey was questioned by police early on into the investigation, but they were unable to charge him with anything related to Nicole’s disappearance due to a lack of evidence. Still, they found him quite suspicious as he was caught using Nicole’s bridge card after her disappearance.

Later on, Autrey was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and faced a sentence of life in prison. At that point, Autrey confessed to investigators that Nicole’s remains could be found in an abandoned apartment in Detroit’s westside. Authorities recovered her remains and charged Autrey with her murder. He pleaded guilty and will likely remain behind bars for the rest of his life. 

Rest in peace, Nicole.

The morning of December 11th, 2005 was supposed to be a celebratory occasion for Chairo Garibay (pictured above) and her family members. That morning, the 20 year-old planned to meet her parents at St. Joseph’s church in Marysville, California, for the Mass of Our Lady: The Virgin of Guadalupe at 5am. The church is an approximate 15-20 minute drive away from the family’s home in Olivehurst. When Chairo did not show up as planned, her parents initially thought she was still sleeping. However, when they returned to their home around 9:30am, they noticed that Chairo was not home and the family vehicle was missing. Oddly enough, though, Chairo’s purse and identification were still inside the house.

Unbeknownst to the Garibays, their family car had actually been discovered by police just a half an hour earlier. It was partly submerged in the Bear River. Chairo was not inside the car, nor was any sign of her found on the scene. Once police were able to speak to the Garibays about the vehicle, Chairo was reported missing.

An initial look around the Garibay home did not reveal any obvious signs of forced entry. Then, when police took a look around the residence, they noticed that one of the windows in the back of the house was ajar and the screen was on the ground. Chairo’s parents stated that they did not believe the window was in that condition prior to the morning of December 11th. From that point forward, police began investigating a potential kidnapping in Chairo’s case. 

Weeks passed without any sign of Chairo. Then, in January 2006, local residents found a body in an open field less than a mile away from Chairo’s home. The body was “wrapped in black tarp material, with broken pieces of cement wrapped inside.” It did not take long for the body to be identified as that of Chairo Garibay. She had been murdered–an autopsy had determined that blunt force trauma was the cause of her death.

Investigators have reportedly interviewed anybody who might have spoken to Chairo in the days leading up to her disappearance. Those closest to her, including her boyfriend and parents, have all been cleared of suspicion. Since then, leads in Chairo’s case have been far and few in between.

Chairo’s murder remains unsolved. The Yuba County Sheriff’s Office is investigating. If you have any information that could lead to her murderer, please contact the investigative unit at [phone]. (x)

Stephanie Myles mysteriously disappeared at the age of 18 on December 13th, 2014. She left her family’s home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin that afternoon to walk to a nearby Walgreens store. Stephanie was last seen walking towards the store near 85th and Brown Deer Road. She never made it to the store and she never returned home. Stephanie’s family members immediately began to worry about her when she did not return, especially because she left her 1 year-old son behind. She was reported missing shortly after her disappearance.

In the months that followed, Stephanie’s family members used social media to get the word out about her disappearance, and they had Stephanie entered into a missing persons registry. Unfortunately, they never received any clues that lead to Stephanie. Then, over a year later on February 21st, 2016, human remains were found behind an elementary school on 96th and Allyn—not far from where Stephanie was last seen. Just five days later, those remains were confirmed to be hers.

Police have not publicly announced Stephanie’s cause of death, however they are investigating her death as a homicide. No arrests have been made in the case and it does not appear that police have any suspects at this time either. Stephanie’s family members are baffled by Stephanie’s murder and they are hoping that the person(s) responsible will come forward. Police are also urging anyone with information on the case to contact the Milwaukee Police Department at [phone].

27 year-old Nicholle Torrez has been missing since December 14th, 2006.

Prior to vanishing, Nicholle and her three children lived at Nicholle’s mother’s home in Denver, Colorado. She shared custody of her children with their father, who lived just a few blocks away. On the evening of December 14th, Nicholle was asked to bring medicine to her four year-old son, who was staying with his father at the time. She left her other two children at home with her mother, and said she would return later that night. Unfortunately, Nicholle never returned home and has never been seen or heard from again. She was reported missing the following day after she failed to show up at work.

Nicholle’s disappearance has baffled both her family and investigators. Denver police interviewed Nicholle’s friends and family members, but were unable to identify any suspects or clues about her whereabouts. Finally, over six months later in July 2007, investigators appeared to find a clue: Nicholle’s car was found abandoned in the parking lot of an apartment complex in Aurora. The car was processed by the Denver crime lab, but no indication of a crime or foul play was found. Still, Nicholle’s mother does not believe that Nicholle parked the car there herself. Her mother told reporters, “we don’t live on that side of town, so I can’t see Nicholle going there. So we feel like somebody took it there and dropped it off.” While everyone was hopeful that Nicholle’s car would provide clues, it appeared to bring about more questions than answers in her disappearance.

Over a decade has passed, and Nicholle still remains missing today. Both investigators and Nicholle’s family members believe that foul play was involved in her disappearance. Nicholle’s family does not think she would abandon her children, nor would she lose contact with her loved ones. Investigators are hoping to receive knew leads that may lead to Nicholle’s whereabouts. If you have any information that could help, please contact Denver CrimeStoppers at 720-913-7867.

The last known image of Elaine Smallcanyon before she vanished on December 15th, 2015.

The 20 year-old woman uploaded this selfie to her Facebook page the previous day. She also wrote in a post, “Heading back to Kaibito so anyone wanna text or message feel like messaging lol.” This was her final Facebook post. Kaibito is a remote area that belongs to the Navajo Nation, located in Arizona. According to the initial reports on Elaine’s disappearance, she was last seen in Page, Arizona—which is located roughly 40 minutes away from Kaibito. She was reportedly seen with 3 unidentified people at that time. Those individuals remain unidentified today.

Elaine’s missing persons report also states that the group she was with might have traveled to the Black Mesa area, or to Phoenix. Black Mesa and Phoenix are approximately 3 hours apart, and both are located hours away from Page as well. It is unclear if there is a specific link between Elaine and those places. Other than those vague details, there is very little information out there about Elaine’s disappearance.

The Page, Arizona police department is tasked with investigating Elaine’s disappearance. If you have any information that could lead to her whereabouts, please contact them at 928-645-2461.

Matthew Leroy Grant (21) was murdered on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in Browning, Montana. He was last seen alive on December 15th, 2016. Matthew’s family members used social media to spread awareness about his disappearance, and they also pleaded for Matthew’s safe return. Unfortunately, on December 31st, 2016, Matthew’s body was found in an alley between the College Homes and South Glacier Homes neighborhoods in Browning.

Matthew’s death was classified as a homicide, however investigators have not released Matthew’s exact cause of death. According to Matthew’s aunt, “he had frozen ice in his hair. Snow covered. His shirt was partially pulled up like someone lifted him out of a vehicle and just tossed him there.” How Matthew ended up in the alley still remains a mystery—no arrests have been made in the case and very little information about the investigation has been released.

A year after Matthew’s murder, the FBI announced a $10,000 reward for any information that leads to the arrest of Matthew’s killer(s). No persons of interest have been publicly identified at this time and the FBI is continuing the investigate the case. If you have any information that could help the investigation, please contact authorities at 833-345-7872.
