- Details of Disappearance:
- Keiosha, a teenage mom in Louisiana, disappeared on April 30, 2012, after visiting her aunt. Her mother was in prison, and Keiosha lived in a group home. At first, everyone thought she ran away, especially since her cousin said she’d been in touch. But Keiosha left behind her baby daughter, so her family knew something was wrong.
Three months later, Keiosha’s aunt’s boyfriend, Leon Wilkerson Jr., and his brother were arrested, along with the aunt and cousin, on charges related to Keiosha’s disappearance, including rape and kidnapping. These charges were later dropped because the evidence was weak.
The police officer originally investigating the case was fired for misconduct. After that, the focus shifted from arresting people to finding Keiosha.
A mystery man was seen on security footage buying a SIM card that was later used with Keiosha’s phone password. Police want to talk to him, but he’s not considered a suspect.
Investigators believe Keiosha might still be alive but in danger. She may be in Louisiana or Texas, possibly with a man or woman. The case remains unsolved.
