Joniah Walker | MISSING - True Crime BFF

What this episode covers

In June 2022, 15-year-old Joniah Walker disappeared from her Milwaukee home and has not been seen since.The quiet, intelligent teen was caught on camera at 2:30 PM carrying a mysterious backpack and wearing her brother’s clothes. Three minutes before her dad was supposed to pick her up, she texted her therapist saying she was running away. Then, she disappeared without a trace. What investigators uncovered was deeply disturbing: secret online activity, unexplained deliveries, disturbing messages, and warning signs that only made sense in hindsight. Her parents had noticed things but couldn't piece together what was happening until it was too late.Two years later, in the same neighborhood, 19-year old Sade Robinson was brutally murdered and dismembered. Sade worked at the same restaurant where Joniah was supposed to start her summer job. Could there be a connection?Joniah would be 18 now. She could still be out there. Every year, thousands of Black children go missing in America. Their cases don't get 24-hour news coverage. No national news specials. No viral social media campaigns. Their faces don't become household names.The statistics are stark: Black and brown children make up a disproportionate number of missing persons cases, yet receive a fraction of the media attention.
