On this episode of The Black Docket, we dive into the chilling and heartbreaking case of Shelie Turner—a rising high-school track star from Philadelphia, whose promising future was abruptly cut short when she disappeared without a trace.

Join us as we unpack how Shelie’s story went from winning major track events to being the center of a complex missing-person investigation. We’ll explore high school sports rivalries, the pressures of young athletic fame, how jealousy may have played a silent role—and the racial and gender dynamics of missing-girls cases.

You’ll hear:

• How Shelie’s athletic record and potential Olympic trajectory fueled her recognition—and possibly resentment in her community.

• What happened the day she vanished, and how the investigation unfolded.

• Critical moments when the case faded from major headlines—and why that matters for young Black women in America.

• Expert commentary on how these types of cases are handled by the press, law-enforcement, and the public.

If you’re interested in true-crime podcasts, athletic-success-turned-tragedy stories, social justice in missing-persons cases, or the untold angles of race and gender in America’s criminal system—this episode is for you.
