[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a new podcast from WAMU called Relisha goes missing. I just listened to the first episode. I didn’t follow the case closely when it happened (I was not in DC at the time). This is so tragic. [/quote]

It's awful. Her mother is low IQ and mentally impaired. The step father is not much better. The three boys don't live with either of them and the father hasn't tried too hard to get back his two sons.

Relisha's father  is somewhat older than her mother and he  went to jail for beating to death a previous child so he wasn't allowed custody of his son.

The mother did not have any additional children which shocks me.

She is a janitor and works at Dollar General . She has moved around a lot through cheap and transitional housing. If she were from a wealthier family, she might live in a group home with oversight. She was overwhelmed by caring for 4 kids in a shelter room which would challenge the best of us and she's not the best of us.  She needed services growing up and managed care now. I'm not certain she fully understands what she did. If you knew what she regretted a out her actions you'd be surprised.

The step father is a fry cook. Don't know what the violent bio dad is doing.

I think the mother did get money for Relisha although she claimed the step father received an insurance settlement at the same time. It was disturbing that Relisha was not missed or reported missing not only by the mother but every other adult in her life but I suspect that everyone didn't mind having one fewer child around.

Never being found could point to trafficking or she is simply dead.  The janitor killed himself but he also killed his long time girlfriend and left her body in a motel. Relisha's remains never being found leaves so much open for speculation depending on how you view it.  I hope it's not a case of hidden in plain sight where everyone has overlooked where her remains are.

I think about her and I hope she is at peace, not being tortured on this earth. [/quote]
