Distinguishing Characteristics:

Distinguishing Characteristics African-American female. Black hair, brown eyes. Gerald’s hair was dyed blue at the time of her disappearance. She has a mole under her right eye, a tattoo of the word “RIFE” on her neck, and a tattoo of the word “MULE” with angel wings on her upper chest. A photo of the “MULE” tattoo is posted with this case summary. Gerald’s ears are pierced. Her nicknames are Sha-Sha and Sasha.

Details of Disappearance:

On January 4, 2017, Gerald disappeared. Her mom saw her get into a car with Mark Morgan, her ex-fiancé, at 8:00 a.m. Gerald, a mother of three, was often seen near Youngs Park and usually walked everywhere. She hasn’t been seen or heard from since.

Morgan, who was married, claimed he drove Gerald to pay a bill and then to a car wash before dropping her off. But this story doesn’t match up with security camera footage and phone records. Gerald’s phone was near Morgan’s house in Chesapeake for 12 hours after her disappearance. Even more suspicious, her phone was near a hotel where Morgan claimed to be spending the night with his wife.

Police searched Morgan’s wife’s car (the same car Gerald was last seen in) and found a bloodstained hatchet in the trunk. The hatchet was bought the day after Gerald went missing. Because Gerald was known to never disappear without a word, police strongly believe she was harmed.
