An eight-year-old girl stops going to school.
No one reports her missing for nearly three weeks.
Not the shelter.Not the school.Not even her own family.
In 2014, Relisha Rudd vanished from a Washington, D.C. family shelter. The only adult who claimed to know where she was turned out not to be a doctor, but a shelter janitor.
Days later, his wife was found murdered. Weeks later, he was found dead in a park. Relisha has never been found.
In this episode of Clues, we examine the surveillance footage, the hotel sightings, the trash bag purchase, and the systemic failures that may have cost a little girl her life.
Listener discretion advised. This episode discusses child abuse, child sexual exploitation, domestic violence, and suicide.

John Douglas, the FBI profiler, believes the Dear Boss letter was fake, written as a hoax, as it was too organized. He said the second, misspelled letter was likely authentic in his opinion, as it looked like an uneducated, disorganized, mentally ill person copying the first, "cool" letter...perhaps upset that the original hoaxster was getting the attention he felt was his due.
SHE DID IT . . . .🤦🏾
