The Forgotten Case: Where is Relisha Rudd?

In 2014, 8-year-old Relisha Rudd vanished from Washington, D.C. Her disappearance should have made headlines across the country, but it didn’t. Living in a homeless shelter with her mother, Relisha was last seen in the company of a janitor who later took his own life. Despite years passing, no trace of her has ever been found.

Ten years later, the world has largely moved on, but Relisha’s story remains a haunting reminder of the children who slip through the cracks, their names barely spoken by the media.

Relisha Rudd deserves to be remembered. She deserves answers. Her case is still open. If you know her name, share it. If you hear her story, tell it. Silence is what hides the truth, and this child deserves to be found.
