La’Niyah “LaLa” Clark was a 15‑year‑old Wilkes‑Barre teen whose disappearance and tragic death shook an entire community. Reported missing on January 17, 2026, after leaving her adoptive home, LaLa’s case quickly raised concern—especially after it was revealed that just days earlier, a protection‑from‑abuse order had been filed on her behalf against her biological aunt, Bobbiejo Etzel.
More than a month after she vanished, LaLa’s nude, battered body was discovered in the snow behind a garage on Thayer Street on February 21. The Luzerne County District Attorney later confirmed her identity and announced the arrest of Etzel on charges of corruption of minors and interference with custody.  Loved ones described the details as haunting, with her grandmother sharing that LaLa had been “left out there naked on the ground.”
Her death sparked outrage, heartbreak, and a growing call for accountability—leading to a public push for “Lala’s Law,” aimed at protecting vulnerable youth and strengthening oversight in cases involving custody and abuse concerns.
This episode explores LaLa’s life, the timeline of her disappearance, the investigation, and the community’s fight for justice in her name

La’Nyiah Clark aka LaLa went missing from my town last month… it’s been confirmed her remains were found. 

 La'Niyah was last seen leaving her home in South Wilkes-Barre PA on January 17, 2026 . However, it was not until Feb 10th that she was officially reported missing. 

On Saturday, February 21, human remains were discovered in a wooded area off Thayer Street in Wilkes-Barre. On Tuesday afternoon (Feb 24), District Attorney Sam Sanguedolce confirmed that investigators believe these remains are connected to the case of the missing 15-year-old girl, though they have not yet officially explained the nature of that connection or confirmed the identity through the coroner's office. She was found 3 blocks away from her residence behind a garage- nude- face down. The street she was found in is on Meghans Law. 

Throughout the day on Tuesday, multiple law enforcement agencies, including investigators in hazmat suits, executed a search warrant at an apartment building located at New Alexander and Charles streets in South Wilkes-Barre. This location is roughly half a mile from where the remains were found. 

There were rumors her aunt had a protection order refraining her from having contact with LaLa- The local PD made a post a few weeks ago for the community to come forward if they knew of her aunts whereabouts . 

The community speculated family involvement but nothing has been confirmed - again it’s just speculation and as we know rumors are just that and false accusations or “theories” do not help investigators or the PD or the family; and most of all it doesnt help getting LaLa justice or getting the truth.  

As of this evening, the District Attorney has stated he cannot yet comment on the specific "nature of the connection" or release a cause of death until the Coroner’s Office completes its examination.

Police and investigators in hazmat suits have converged on an apartment building at the intersection of New Alexander and Charles streets—roughly half a mile from where the body was found. A search warrant was executed at this location on Tuesday. The investigation is extremely active. 

Authorities have not yet released the cause of death or confirmed the identity of the remains, pending a report from Luzerne County Coroner Dion Fernandes.

If you have any information regarding this case or the apartment on New Alexander Street, authorities urge you to contact:

Wilkes-Barre Police/Detective Mike Dennis: (570) 208-6699

Luzerne County DA’s Detective Division: (570) 825-1674

From the family : 

“It has been confirmed that La’Niyah “LaLa” Clark was the young woman found on Thayer Street, and we have been informed by police that this was a homicide.

Law enforcement has shared that this is an active investigation and that they are confident they know what happened and that an arrest will be made.

Out of respect for the investigation and for LaLa’s family, we ask for privacy and compassion as we begin to process this devastating news and start to grieve.

Please keep her loved ones in your thoughts and prayers. We will share updates when we are able.”

I’ll post updates as they arise since I live right here. 

My prayers and thoughts are with LaLas friends and family.

In this powerful episode of True Crime with Tiff Kline, we travel from 1955 Mississippi to the world we live in today — tracing the painful, undeniable line between the lynching of Emmett Till and the modern‑day hatred that claimed the life of Sam Nordquist.
Tiff unpacks the night Emmett was stolen from his bed, the sham trial that followed, and the all‑white jury that never intended to deliver justice. She explores the courage of witnesses like Willy Reed, the strength of Mamie Till‑Mobley, and the moment Emmett’s open casket forced America to confront the brutality it tried to hide.
But this episode doesn’t stop in the past.
Tiff draws a direct, unflinching connection between the racism that killed Emmett Till and the bigotry that continues to target transgender and LGBTQIA+ people today. Through Sam Nordquist’s story, she exposes how hate evolves — shifting its targets, changing its language, but never losing its power unless we confront it.
This is not just a history lesson.
It’s a warning.
A mirror.
A call to action.
Because Emmett deserved to grow up.
Sam deserved to grow .
And every person targeted for their race, identity, or existence deserves safety, dignity, and a future.
Join Tiff as she honors their stories, challenges the systems that failed them, and reminds us why telling the truth — even when it hurts — is the most powerful form of justice we have left.

Emmett Till was stolen in the night.
Sam Nordquist was erased in the daylight.
Two lives, decades apart — but bound by the same thread of hate, silence, and injustice.
This episode wasn’t just about remembering.
It was about recognizing.
Recognizing that racism didn’t die with Emmett’s killers.
Recognizing that transphobia didn’t disappear with a pride parade.
Recognizing that the systems that failed Emmett are still failing Sam — and so many others.
We live in a world where Black children are still profiled.
Where transgender youth are still targeted.
Where bigotry adapts, evolves, and hides behind new laws, new language, new lies.
But we also live in a world where truth still matters.
Where storytelling still heals.
Where remembrance is resistance.
Emmett deserved to grow up.
Sam deserved to grow up.
And every person who’s ever been told they don’t belong deserves safety, dignity, and a future.
So we keep telling their stories.
We keep saying their names.
We keep fighting for the world they should’ve had.

Princess Diana’s Legacy” is a deep, intimate exploration of the woman the world thought it knew — and the human being she truly was. This episode traces Diana Frances Spencer’s journey from her aristocratic childhood to becoming the most photographed, beloved, and misunderstood woman of her time. Through compassion, courage, and a voice that refused to be silenced, Diana reshaped what it meant to be royal, what it meant to be vulnerable, and what it meant to use a platform for good.

We walk through her life chronologically — her early struggles with family instability, her complicated marriage to Prince Charles, her battles with mental health, and her transformation into a global humanitarian force. You’ll hear how she shattered stigma around AIDS, landmines, homelessness, and mental illness, and how her empathy changed public perception forever.
This episode also examines the circumstances surrounding her tragic death, the conspiracy theories that followed, and the lasting impact she left on the monarchy, her sons, and the world. More than a princess, Diana was a symbol of humanity, resilience, and radical compassion — and her legacy continues to echo through every life she touched.

Tiffany Valiante was an 18‑year‑old athlete from Mays Landing, New Jersey — a recent high‑school graduate with a volleyball scholarship and plans for college. On the night of July 12, 2015, Tiffany suddenly disappeared from her neighborhood after what her family described as an out‑of‑character disagreement at home.
A few hours later, she was struck and killed by a New Jersey Transit train several miles from where she was last seen. Authorities quickly ruled her death a suicide, concluding that she had walked onto the tracks intentionally.
But from the very beginning, Tiffany’s family has strongly rejected that ruling.
