Welcome to a special series Madison is doing this February. Using Erika River’s website “OurBlackGirls.com” Madison will be highlighting cases of missing or cold cases involved black girls and women. Back girls and women go missing at a disproportionate rate, yet despite that they receive less coverage than white victims. To get some of these not so well known cases out there.

This week I will be covering the disappearances of four black women. Anastasia Duke, a 34 year old woman, went missing from Citrus Heights California on June 21, 2021. Virgina Rambus was 19 years old when she went missing on May 20, 1985 in Seattle Washington. Tioni Theus was only 16 years old when her body was found on the side of the highway in Compton California on January 8, 2022. Brittany Palmer was 23 years old when she vanished leaving a friends house in August of 2020. Her body was later found in a cemetery in Jacksonville Florida with no clues to what happened
