Some crimes are so shocking they don't just make headlines,
2
00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:07.639
they forever change our society. I'm Katie Ring, host of
3
00:00:07.679 --> 00:00:10.880
America's Most Infamous Crimes. Each week I take on one
4
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:14.400
of the most notorious criminal cases, whether it's unfolding now
5
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:18.559
or etched into American history. Serial killers who terrorize cities,
6
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:22.600
unsolved mysteries that kept detectives up at night, and investigations
7
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:25.679
that change the way we think about justice. Each case
8
00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:29.760
unfolds across multiple episodes, release every Tuesday through Thursday, and
9
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:32.520
the first sign that something was wrong to the moment
10
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:35.520
the truth came out or didn't. Listen to and follow

Hi Friends, Welcome back. Each week on we highlight a
14
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:03.960
different person who has gone missing, someone with a story,
15
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.719
a family, and a community still hoping for any answers.
16
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:09.680
These are all of the cases that we covered in
17
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:11.799
January that we want to highlight once more just to
18
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:13.159
bring more visibility.
19
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:17.959
The cases include John Tucson, Doe from the DNA Doe Project,
20
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:24.439
Shakaia Blue Harding, Keshia Sylvester, Janaiah McMichael. Let's revisit those
21
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:27.840
cases and hopefully get the word out even more, especially
22
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.480

on your stories and let's really spread the word. Thanks guys.
25
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:47.640
So we are highlighting the John Tuscan Doe nineteen ninety
26
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:51.599
eight case. On October first, nineteen ninety eight, water surveyors
27
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:53.879
from the city of Tucson came across the remains of
28
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:56.640
a young man near a rural road in the desert.
29
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.359
He was about six feet tall, weighed two hundred and
30
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:02.319
fifty two pounds, and authorities believe that he had been
31
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:04.920
dead for a number of days. John Doe had short,
32
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.159
curly hair and wore tan shorts and a pullover shirt.
33
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:11.680
Race is uncertain, however, they estimate that he was about
34
00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:15.520
seventeen to twenty three years old. There is a composite
35
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:17.479
sketch we are going to be sharing with you guys,
36
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:20.960
so if this person looks familiar to you, we will
37
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:22.479
have a link for you to get in contact with
38
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.400
the agency of jurisdiction. It is the PMA County Office
39
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:27.759
of the Medical Examiner. The ID for the DNA DO
40
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:31.520
project is up seven two three six. There's also a
41
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:33.400
few other links that will put in the description with
42
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:34.360
a bit more information.
43
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:39.159
When we were doing the research on Jermaine's case, I
44
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:42.919
actually came across another missing Indigenous woman in the same
45
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:46.360
area as Jermaine. Her name is Shikaia Blue Harding. She
46
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:48.879
was last seen in Billings, Montana, on the morning of
47
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:52.439
July twenty fifth, twenty eighteen. That is pretty close to
48
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:56.319
Jermaine's case. A bus ticket was purchased in Chikaia's name
49
00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:59.199
for Grand Junction, Colorado, but there is no evidence it
50
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:02.240
was ever used. The ticket was purchased the July fourth
51
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:06.080
weekend in downtown Billings. There have been multiple possible sightings
52
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:11.039
in Phoenix, Arizona, specifically the Children's Hospital, Phoenix Sky Harbor, Airport,
53
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:14.879
Bad Habits, Gentlemen's Club One McDowell, and at the intersection
54
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:18.960
of North nineteenth Av And Dunlab Av. There's also been
55
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:22.479
possible sightings in Great Falls, Montana, specifically near the Sam's
56
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:26.319
Club by Northwest Bypass tenth AB and twenty third Street
57
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:29.639
and near Walmart on tenth AB. She has been sighted
58
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:33.199
in both of these locations with an older male. She
59
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:37.159
also has connections in Fort Bellknap, Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma,
60
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:40.639
and Fort Riley, Kansas. Her date of birth is November
61
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:42.840
twenty eighth, nineteen ninety eight. She was nineteen years old
62
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:45.479
at the time of her disappearance. She's described as having
63
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:48.479
black hair, brown eyes, being five foot four around one
64
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:52.479
hundred and twenty five pounds. Jakaya has a five inch
65
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:55.639
long scar on her left shin and her hair may
66
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:59.039
be short, and there's evidence that she may have a
67
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:02.000
limp at this time. She also

may be going by
68
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:05.520
Kaya or her middle name Blue, and she may spell
69
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:11.479
her name Sha kai Ah, which is different than the
70
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.479
spelling we have on the missing poster, which is shac Aiah,
71
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:19.240
and she also might use the last name ha u
72
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:23.000
g h t y n G. It is believed at
73
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.399
this time that Shakaya is a victim of human trafficking,
74
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:28.959
So if anyone has any information on Shokaia's whereabouts, you
75
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:32.920
can contact Detective jam at four oh six two five
76
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:36.079

77
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:39.000
Office at four oh six two five six two nine
78
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:39.519

79
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:45.399
This week, we are highlighting the case of Keshia Sylvester.
80
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.720
Keshia has been missing since nine twenty two, twenty seventeen.
81
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:55.079
She went missing from Browbridge, Louisiana, described as a female, black,
82
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:57.560
twenty nine years old, five two, one hundred and forty
83
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:02.000
five pounds. Now, I will say there are very suspicious
84
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:06.519
circumstances surrounding Keshia's disappearance. Her purse and cell phone were
85
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:09.920
left behind at her home. The food that she had
86
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:12.639
made for dinner was left on the stove. She didn't
87
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:14.879
pick up her last paycheck from her job at a casino,
88
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:18.360
and she also missed her daughter's prom. This was all
89
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:22.879
super uncharacteristic of her behavior. She had really been looking
90
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:25.879
forward to her daughter's prom had already picked the hairstyle
91
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:28.480
she wanted her daughter to have for the event. According
92
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:31.800
to her family, prior to her disappearance, Keshia had seemed
93
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:35.519
confident and happy, and she kept in daily touch with
94
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:39.199
her family and often visited her father. Only days after
95
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:43.560
her disappearance, her landlord moved her belongings and the trailer
96
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:47.319
in which she lived, something that her family believes led
97
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:51.560
to possible evidence being lost or destroyed. Foul play is
98
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:56.279
possible in her case, which still remains unsolved. Keshia has
99
00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:00.000
not been found. I saw on a recent update compute
100
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:04.199
and items were seized from the landlord, but nothing has
101
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:07.279
been released at this time. So if you
have any
102
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:11.879
information in regards to Keshia and her disappearance, please contact
103
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:15.480
the Saint Martin's Parish Sheriff's office at three three seven
104
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:19.480
three nine four three zero seven to one. Obviously a
105
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:21.600
very suspicious.
106
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:25.439
Whoa okase or moving the trailer right afterwards, within just
107
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:26.319
a few days, all.
108
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:28.720
Her belongings everything gone, Oh my gosh, And like she
109
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:30.920
went and visited her daughter before, like as she was
110
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.439
getting ready for prompt like give her some money or
111
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:36.000
something like for prompt, Like it's she was supposed to
112
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.600
go back, and yeah, you don't see her daughter after.
113
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:43.000
So very very suspicious, suspicious. If you guys have any information,
114
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:45.759
like make sure it gets it gets known.
115
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:48.000
It sounds like one of those ones where someone knows.
116
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:50.480
Something, Someone definitely knows something.
117
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:56.360
This week we want to highlight the case of fourteen
118
00:06:56.439 --> 00:07:00.480
year old Janiah McMichael of Gary, Indiana, who disappears and
119
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:03.600
currently there is a renewed push for answers in her case.
120
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:06.920
So investigators now believe that the teen was a victim
121
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:07.600
of foul play.
122
00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:08.079
Now.
123
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:11.279
Jania's mother, Jasmine McMichael, reported her missing on August twelve,
124
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:13.800
twenty twenty four, from their home near nineteenth Avenue in
125
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:17.240
Virginia Street in Gary, Indiana. In October, a search warrant
126
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:20.120
was executed. Gary Police said that they have not released
127
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:23.120
details of that search to preserve the integrity of the case.
128
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:26.519
The FBI is also involved in the investigation and says
129
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:31.240
it strongly suspects foul play. Jania was last seen wearing
130
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:34.959
a black hoodie, black pajama pants, and red slash black shoes.
131
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:38.160
Jania's grandmother has said about this case quote, one year
132
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:39.839
ago today, I got a phone call from my daughter
133
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:43.240
saying that my granddaughter Jenia ran away. I don't believe
134
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:47.639
she ran away. There have been leads, but no solid leads. Nothing.
135
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:51.160
It's just like she vanished. On April twenty eighth, twenty
136
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:53.360
twenty five, the FBI and the City of Gary announced
137
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:55.920
a twenty thousand dollars reward for information leading to an
138
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:59.480
arrest and conviction of those responsible for Jenia's disappearance. It
139
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:01.639
also see seems like at some point an additional ten
140
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:05.800
thousand dollars was posted by uspat Nationwide Security of private
141
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.000
