On December 19, 2018, 16-year-old Iyana Sawyer, a straight-A student from Jacksonville, Florida, vanished after leaving her high school early. Surveillance footage captured her departure around 11 AM, carrying two bags filled with school supplies and personal items. Iyana was five months pregnant, and her family had been supportive, but her disappearance sent them into a frantic search. Initially, it seemed like another case of a runaway teen, but what followed would reveal a dark and sinister truth.

Iyana's secret was that she was pregnant with her uncle's child, Johnathan Quiles, who had been manipulating and exploiting her. Quiles convinced Iyana to meet him at his workplace, Ace Pick-A-Part, under the guise of running away together. Instead, he brutally murdered her and disposed of her body in a dumpster, which was later taken to a landfill. Despite an extensive search, Iyana's remains were never found.

Join me as I delve into the shocking details of this case, exploring how Quiles' family ultimately helped bring him to justice. Discover the chilling evidence that led to his conviction for first-degree murder and the devastating impact on Iyana's family. This true crime story exposes the horrors of family betrayal and the ongoing quest for justice for Iyana and her unborn child.
