Oh School of Humans.
It was Halloween night, October thirty first, twenty twenty, and twenty two year old Ayisha Jackson was getting ready to go to a party. Ayisha was braiding her hair and getting into costume while talking to her mother, Laquita Parker. Aisha and her girlfriends were doing a purge theme that night, so they had hockey masks and slash shirts with fake
blood on them. Aisha is small in stature, only five foot two and one hundred and fifteen pounds, but her family said she could fill and light up a room, especially when she danced, which she loved to do. Aisha had a happy life. She lived in Eldaredo, Arkansas, just a short distance away from her mother, her fifteen year old brother, Jaiques, and the rest of her family. Aisha lived on South Roslawn Avenue in Eldaredo, but because she had a couple of break ins at her home recently,
she was staying in her uncle's house. Her uncle, William Parker Junior, is Laquita's brother. William and his wife, Shequila, lived on the five hundred block of Stuart Avenue in Eldaredo, which was just a few minutes away from Ayisha's house. Ayisha had multiple cats and dogs at home, and she took great care of all of her animals. Ayisha and her mother were very close. They normally spoke several times
per day. So when Laquita did not hear from her daughter at all on November first, by November second, she was scared. So early that morning on November second, Liquita, her boyfriend Freddie, and Ayisha's brother Jacques, jumped in their car and headed to Ayisha's house on South Roselawn. When the family got there, they could see immediately that something was very wrong. Liquita went in and found her daughter's
stuff there, including her wallet and cell phone. One of Ayisha's dogs was out running around, which was very unusual. The place kind of looked like she had just stepped out for a few minutes, but Aisha never came back home. I'm Catherine Townsend. Over the past five years of making my true crime podcast, Helen Gone, I've learned there's no such thing as a small town where murder never happens.
I've received hundreds of messages from people all around the country asking for help with an unsolved murder that's affected them, their families and their communities. If you have a case you'd like me and my team to look into, you can reach out to us at our Helen Gone Murder line at six seven eight seven four four six one four or five. That's six seven eight seven four four six one four five. This is Helen Gone Murder Line.
On that car ride over to Ayisha's apartment, jack Wu said he was hoping that he would walk in and just see his sister there, and that the reason they hadn't heard from her was maybe just a prank by his sister, or maybe a misunderstanding, maybe her phone had died. As soon as Ayisha's brother walked in, he knew that something was very wrong. He noticed that Ayisha's door was unlocked and a little bit cracked open.
My mother had already said that she had a bad feeling. I never, you know, knew you know, too much of it. And under my impression my sister is at home, I'm going to go over with my sister. You know, when I walked up the stairs, I was happy. I'm going to see my sister. You know, we're going to talk left job around, you know.
So when we when I walked up the stairs and I noticed.
That I could see something was wrong, but I didn't want to think that, you know what I'm saying. But then I looked down down the stairs. Their mama how to open and she not in there. How house was ramshaped. My sister did not like that. She had to twenty eaware house like that.
Inside, Jacques said, the house looked like it had been ransacked, but on closer inspection, some of Ayisha's family members believed that the scene looked kind of staged, like someone had come in and pretended they were trying to rob the place, but they didn't really take anything. Things were thrown around, but only superficially, and everything of value was still in
the apartment. Ayisha's purse was lying out in the open on her bed, her phone was plugged into the charger in the living room, and her animals were all fine. Usually Ayisha would make sure to feed her dogs, take them out, and put them all in their kennels when she left, but one was out, which Jacques said was highly unusual.
Picture of clean house. Right, you got a reclowner, You got a black couch, and you have like a little end table. It's in like in the middle of the room. And then we have like a regular queen sized bed with a tall dresser, tall black dresser, and on top of that you have clothes and all those dressers. You have a TV on top of that dresser as well. And everything is clean. Nothing is on the floor. You have blankets and stuff like that. Everything is put up. You have a dog cage and.
All of that.
The bathroom and everything.
Everything is cleaned up and stuff like that.
And you know how your sister is, especially when it comes down.
To your animals.
She's not going to beat her animals with two long She either had somebody to be over there and check up on the animals or something. Dog is out the page and running around. Her animals is loose. None of her personal items has took it. But you know that this is not the way your sister would have left her house. Her phone was neatly placed on the couch on the.
Tasure, Her herds were on the table.
Her brother was on the table alone with her medicine.
Oh so her medicine was there too, right.
So Dan, this is where it gives you a clear idea that that's the first ideal.
Okay, Well, something got.
To be wrong, because she's not just gonna leave her personal stuff. You're not gonna leave a while that phone in their prayer going go here? Where'd she go?
Because Aisha was a young woman who had recently gotten out of a long term relationship, of course police started to investigate the men in her life. Jacques told me that he went over and talked with Ayisha's long term ex boyfriend, the one she had been with for years
and recently broken up with. Jacques said, by the way, the long term ex was extremely upset, cooperated completely with law enforcement, helped search for Aisha, and to my knowledge, has never been mentioned as a potential person of interest in this case. Aisha had been on dates with a few different people in the weeks before she went missing.
She was being a normal twenty two year old young woman, not rushing to jump into a serious relationship after getting out of one, living in her own place and enjoying her life. And one guy who she did casually date was a twenty three year old man named Samaji. I've seen the police report, and according to this document, Samaji and Aisha had been dating, but that changed in the
days leading up to her being reported missing. And of course, anytime you have anyone who has recently ended a relationship and they go missing. Of course, you have to take a hard look at.
All of their exes.
But contrary to what's been reported in some of the media I've seen, when I talked to Ayisha's family and friends, they say that her relationship with Samaji was not full of drama or serious or anything like that, that it was a casual relationship. Basically to their knowledge, they just hung out a few times. On October twenty third, just a week before Aha and went missing, someone broke into
Ayisha's house. Now, Ayisha's grandmother, Ernestine, told a local news station that Ayisha and Samaji had recently ended things, and she also told the reporter something else that was kind of alarming. Ernestine said, Aisha told her that she had come home and seen men breaking into her house. And not only that, Ernestine said, Aisha knew who these men were.
There were actually two incidents. So the first incident, according to Ernestine, Ayisha came home and saw that someone had broken in her house.
Then the second time she came home.
Ernestine said that Aisha walked in the house, saw two guys actually in there, and recognized one of them as Samaji. Apparently Aisha call the police. The two men fled the scene. Ernestine said that Samaji was quote one of the guys that Ayisha identified is breaking into her home. She was already in the house when he came in there on her.
He explained this to us. She told us this ute. Now, I should say that other members of Ayisha's family who have spoken to have questions about whether that conversation happened that way and whether Samaji actually was one of the men who was allegedly in Aisha's home that day, But we will get to that in next week's episode. After the break in, Ayisha's name was added to the police patrol list, which means she was supposed to have a
patrol car drive by her home at regular intervals. And again, because of that break in, Aisha was staying with her uncle, Liquita's brother William and his wife Shequila. When Aisha went missing, the case made local news. And remember this was during COVID, so a lot of people were stuck at home watching a lot of TV. In November of twenty twenty, an old high school friend of Liquita's named Rina Borden saw that Aisha was missing. Rena will get a lot more
involved with this case. Later on November second, after Ayisha's mother and brother left her apartment.
They called the police immediately.
The police told Luquida that she had to wait forty eight hours before her daughter could be reported missing. Now, I'm bringing this up because the elder rated police department have made statements to other people saying this was not the case and that's not their policy. I'm really mentioning this because I think it is so crucial for everyone to understand that is not the law, that is not the rule. You do not have to wait twenty four
forty eight seventy two hours to report someone missing. So if the police tell you that, stand your ground and demand that they do it immediately. It's very important. Police did not immediately seem to be treating Ayisha's house as a crime scene, and her family said they couldn't understand this. Granted, Ayisha is above legal age, but why would a young woman leave all of her stuff, herself, her purse, and everything else at home and just walk out the door,
leaving it unlocked. Ayisha's mother also pointed out that Ayisha had medical conditions, medical conditions that meant that she needed daily medication. And she had also left all of her medication behind. But after a few days police did start the search for Aisha. Captain Harwell the elder Ated Police Department said police conducted multiple searches on foot, with drones
and with all terrain vehicles. Police also told reporters they had cadaver dogs looking for Aisha on at least two different occasions.
Weeks went by and there were no arrests.
Captain Harwell said the department had multiple items of evidence that would require submission to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for processing, which really does not tell us much and we don't know what those items were or.
If they were given any kind of priority.
And we know that in the Arkansas State Crime Lab if something is not a homicide, there have been serious backlogs with evidence testing in the past. Of course, once the case made the news, the police and the family did get some false leads. The family got several tips, including someone that told them Ayisha may be buried in a shallow grave in a cemetery near Strong, Arkansas. Police from the Union County Sheriff's Office responded to that scene
with Ayisha's family. They went out there and searched in those Woods, but in the end they didn't find anything. And then in December of twenty twenty, all of a sudden, there were two arrests. And this is a strange set of circumstances how this all played out.
I don't feel like it's been reported.
On a lot, and we're going to go a lot more in depth into exactly what went down with these arrests. Next week, one of the men arrested was Samaji, the twenty three year old man whom Ayisha had dated. At first, this seemed like it could be a huge break in the case. Samaji was brought up on charges of capital murder, kidnapping, and an enhanced penalty for engaging in criminal group activity. This was weird though, because after the arrest, police said they still hope to find Ayisha alive.
So this seems contradictory.
They're charging someone potentially with capital murder, yet they still hoped to find her alive. Then there was another twist in the case. News broke that another man had been arrested, forty six year old Kenneth Lee. Liquita said Kenneth Lee had contacted Aisha's uncle, William, and allegedly told him if the family gave him eight thousand dollars he would give them information about where Ayisha was.
It turned out this was all just a big scam.
Kenneth was allegedly basically blackmailing the family and had no information about Aisha, which of course was heartbreaking to her family. But eventually the charges against Kenneth were dropped as well. Now it was very interesting here because from the statements that Captain Harwell was making, he said, the possibility of making further arrests is quite possible. We may have another
person involved. It really seemed like police were leaning into a potential theory that there might be multiple arrests or that Samaji could face more charges. Another interesting point is even though Samaji and Kenneth were arrested pretty much at the same time, initially it seemed like there was zero connection between them.
It did not appear that they knew each other at all.
And I'm flagging this up because, as you'll see in next week's episode, William Samagi and Kenneth and how this whole scenario played out has not really been reported on and is actually fascinating.
Be patient with me.
This is a real time investigation, and so I am looking into that right now, and I will be giving you more details going back to to these arrests. After the arrest of Samaji, especially, most people in the community believe police were moving forward. And I can see why they would think that the victim's ex was arrested.
It was someone she was involved with.
Intimately, police have filed potential capital murder charges, so people were thinking, well, the police must have evidence. But then one month went by, and then two months police had still not charged Samaji.
And again Kenneth.
The second guy, seemed to be a scammer, someone who had nothing to do with Ayesha's disappearance. Samaji's defense attorney filed in order to have him released from custody. He said that in Arkansas, formal charges had to be filed within sixty days of an arrest. So in February of twenty twenty one, police released Samaji and he walked out a freeman. At the time, Captain Harwell told the media that police just didn't feel they had enough evidence to prosecute.
He said they would prefer to wait until they had more rather than moving forward and risking a loss in court. Reporters did ask Captain Harwell if he felt like they had made the arrest too quickly, but he said he believed the police made the right choice. What he mentioned that he had as his ammunition to get the arrest was witness statements.
We're going to get more into that later too.
Exactly who these witness statements were made by and why this went down this way.
Of course, it's just speculation.
But my guess is that after they arrested Samaji, police thought that they really might have their guy, and if he had done something to di Aisha, potentially they could apply pressure to him and figure out where Ayisha's body was. Captain Harwell basically said that he told the media that the main reason that they were unable to prosecute is because they did not have a body. They had no idea where Ayisha might be, and they were looking for help from the public. So the police were openly admitting
they had no idea where Ayisha was. So months went by and months became years. In twenty twenty two, Laquita's high school friend, Rena Borden, the same one who had seen the news report back in twenty twenty, came into the story. Like many people, she remembered seeing the item on the news about Ayisha being missing.
Then she remembered seeing.
Something on the news about the arrest, so she assumed the police were making progress. When Rena saw on social media there were still no suspects, she reached out to Laquita. At the time, she said she had no idea how much this case would consume her life.
I didn't get involved until like September of twenty twenty two. And the reason I got involved was because I had gone to eat at a restaurant here in town and they had a flower of Ayisha, just like a Facebook print out. They didn't really have very information on there, and I was just like, oh my gosh, they might need some help. I could get flyers and print them and distribute them. That's something I could do, you know, And that's really all I had the intentions of doing.
I didn't even reach out to Laquito. I went straight to the police department and I was just like, hey, just wanted to ask if it was all right if I could pass out flyers to local businesses because I noticed there wasn't any up And the receptionist went back to the Captain's office and then came back. He said, be his guest go ahead, and I was like, can you give me the flyer to make a coffee or do something? And she said, just the one online, I'll do,
And so that's what I did. I printed up a bunch of them and started passing them out, and I was looking for Laquita as well, you know, trying to get a hold of the mother, just because I didn't want her to think. I was wanted to touch base with her and say, is it's okay, you know what else would you like me to do? Do you want me to bring you dinner? You know, something like that. So I decided to play a vigil and then that's when I brought Joanna.
And Joanna is a friend of Rena's. Together they started printing flyers and trying to help Luquet up get some clarity on what was going on with her daughter's case. When Rena started to research the case and saw the missing person's flyers that were already out there, she noticed that most of them said a Usha had been seen on the night of November fourth, but she said she knew that this was just not true.
We had a meeting and Lookquita came. She remembered me from school, so that took a lot of the you know, I wasn't a total stranger to her or anything. And during the meeting, she was trying to address the fact of the date her daughter went missing, and of course me and Joanna's ears are all parked up, and nobody else seemed to like kicked on.
So we knew something was wrong because I was just casually reading the flower out loud and I was like, okay, so she was last seen November fourth, and someone had chimed in and they we were like, well, actually it was October thirty first, like with wow, like and it was just awkward for a second. So we're like, oh, okay, all right.
Rina and Liquita started to wonder if the day Aisha went missing was wrong after two years, what else could have potentially slipped through the cracks, and why was the wrong date continuing to be reported. I went back and
tried to figure this out. I've seen the police report, which has a record of Aisha calling to report that break in on the twenty third of October, and on that report, the officer wrote down that the last time anyone in her family had seen her was November fourth, but he doesn't note who told him that we're going to go way more in depth about this next week, because figuring out this timeline is a crucial part of this story. But it turns out that that's not true.
Ayisha's family met meers tell me no one has seen Nisha in person since October thirty first, Rena said when she started printing the flyers, she found out because of this misinformation, she believed that there was not a sense of public urgency. Rena has spent almost two years now trying to help her friend.
I'm not an investigator, I'm not an attorney, I'm not anything. But I can be a friend, and you know, at least get her out of the house, because I'm thinking, how does she sit in that house all this that's got to be miserable, and then not getting any answers. Nobody will call her back to let her know what's going on with her daughter.
You have a son that's around the same.
Age, yeah, yeah, and I do have a Yeah, my son's big part of it too. My son went to school with Ayisha, So yeah, that hit me hard. So I would take her to lunch, and she was so upset about that. The date on those flyers and so I just realized nobody's listening to this mom, and so I just said, why don't you just sit down one day and just tell me the story. You know, I'll
listen to you tell me the story. And so she told me the story, and I email the prior captain at the time that was on the case and he said, Liquita is correct. You know October thirty first is the right day. And I sent an email of where I'm like, Okay, well can you change it then? And that he says he can't change it because something about he can't make changes to our report once they're made.
So I want to make sure that Ayusha's family, her mother and her brother are heard and that we have the correct information about this timeline. So what happened between October thirty first, twenty twenty and November fourth, we have to go back to how will weeen?
Night?
On October thirty first, twenty twenty, between one and two pm, Liquita went over to her brother's house where Ayisha had been staying. She was there to drop off some stuff for Aisha.
Again.
Ayisha was staying with William and Shequila at their home. My source tells me that there were some other family members there at the time. It was Halloween and Aisha was heading out with some girlfriends. Her aunt, Shaquila and William were also going with them. Ayisha's mother was babysitting William and Shaquilla's two young sons, who were elementary school age, so Liaquita and William and Shaquilla's kids went back to Liquita's.
Aisha got ready and got into her costume, the Purge costume that she and her girlfriend Shenis and Serenity had kind of di wide. They had the slashed white T shirts and they'd kind of splashed them with either red paint or fake blood.
A couple of them had hockey masks on.
So I have a lot of questions about exactly what happen that night, but we can fill in some of the gaps. We know that at some point the women Aisha, Shenie, Serenity, and Shaquila, Aisha's aunt, stopped by the Go Rainbow Food Mark, a convenience store located on Junction City Road in Elddo we know this because someone took a picture of them there. People have told me this could have been taken by William, Ayisha's uncle, but we don't know for sure.
That's not confirmed.
Either way, though these women looked like they were having a good time and ready for a fun night out. The photo, by the way, was later posted on Ayisha's aunt Shaquila's Facebook page. At around ten pm that night, Ayisha's brother Jaiques facetimed her.
Now.
According to Rena, Aisha told Jaques during that phone conversation that she was on her way to a Halloween party at a bar called The Wheel in Camden, but that again has not been confirmed. The bar has apparently claimed they were on Halloween night. I have some questions about this. Remember this is during COVID and a lot of unofficial parties were taking place around town. One of Ayisha's friends said that they did go there that night and that
they were dancing. Ayisha apparently wasn't really dancing with anyone specific. They had a good time and the night wound down. After going separate ways from her girlfriends, Ayisha headed back to the five hundred block of Stuart Avenue, where William and Shaquilla lived and where Ayisha had been staying. They got there at around two to three am.
Now.
One of Ayisha's girlfriends said that William and Shaquilla were talking about a trip to Houston they were going to take. Apparently they were going to Houston the next day, and they asked this friend of Ayisha's to go with them. She claims she said she didn't want to go, but apparently Aisha may have wanted to go with them. Aisha had previously asked her mom about going to Houston with William and Shaquilla. Laqueta told Aisha she didn't need to
do that, that would basically be too much for her. Now, supposedly they were taking this trip to move furniture. Apparently, William and Shaquilla were moving out of an apartment in Houston. They needed to get the furniture that was in the apartment out of there and into a nearby storage unit. This story in itself is a little strange to me because a why would they go to move furniture in the middle of the night, and b why would they
take a tiny girl to help them do it. So now it's the next morning, November first, between six and seven am, Liqueta calls Ayisha. Ayisha doesn't answer her cell phone, so Liquita calls her brother, William. She asks William where Aisha is. William tells Liquita that Ayisha is asleep. Laquita tries to call Ayisha several more times throughout that day.
Ayisha never picked up.
This was highly unusual because Ayisha always picked up call from her mom. At some point, Shaquilla came to pick up her two sons, the ones who Liquita was babysitting at that time. Liquita said she asked Shaquilla when she last saw Ayisha. Shaquilla told her that she had dropped her off at home the day before and had not seen or heard from her since. Now this was a red flag because, she says, when she talked to William,
he told her he dropped Ayisha off at home. Now she seemed to understand Shaquilla was saying she had dropped Ayisha off. That day, Laqueta kept calling her daughter's phone. She was blowing up Ayisha's phone, but the phone just kept ringing out, and each time she called her brother William, he tells Liquita, Ayisha's sleeping, or she's in the bathroom, or her phone is dead. Liquita was never able to
connect with Ayisha that day. Finally, at around nine pm, William answers the phone again, this time Hell's Aquita that they have been back from Houston, Texas for a while, and that he had dropped Ayisha off at home. He meant the one she had recently rented on Roselin Avenue.
So I have questions about that again. First of all, is it reasonable to believe that between three am and nine pm the next night that William and Shaquilla and Aisha had driven to Houston, which is about a five to six hour drive and back and had time to move furniture. I mean, I guess theoretically it's possible, but even with no sleep, that is a stretch.
Also, again, why would they.
Be taking a five foot two young woman to help move this furniture in the first place.
So to the public, everybody thought that she had done to help her uncle moved furniture. A ninety pound twenty two year old female went to go help move furniture.
Later on, it seems like William and shaquilleb said that they had both dropped Ayisha off together. And I guess it's possible that Liquita mis heard, but as a mother, she had instinct with these things, and these discrepancies in the beginning can be extremely crucial.
They need to be clarified now.
The police have stated publicly that Ayisha did go with her family to Texas and that they have confirmed that. Captain prim said quote started doing some background, found out that she had gone to Texas, supposed to have been with a family member. We confirmed she did go to Texas end quote. But some of Ayisha's family members wonder if that's true. They wonder if Ayisha ever made it to Houston at all. Liquita has said that Captain Harwell told her that he could not verify that Ayosha went
to Texas. Rina had a conversation with him in November of twenty twenty two. He told her the same thing, that police could not confirm that Ayisha had been to Texas. I'm going to reach out to the police to see if they have any comment on this timeline, and we're going to go a lot more into.
Depth on this next week. Bottom line.
Many of Ayisha's family members wonder if she ever left Arkansas. Ayisha's brother, Jacques has spoken out very publicly on his sister's behalf. He has brought up a lot of things he says he just does not understand about this investigation. He has openly voiced his suspicion of Ayisha's aunt, Shaquilla and her uncle William. Jacques said alarm bells started going off for him the moment he pulled into his sister's
driveway on November two. Shaquilla was right behind them with her stepdaughter in the car, and Jacques wondered, how did she get there so fast? Did she already know that something was wrong. Jacques later said that he believed that his aunt had been very dramatic, maybe almost overly emotional, and after the family went to the police and the searches started, Jacques said he started to get more and
more suspicious, especially after Somaji was arrested and released. Eventually, the relationship between Jacques, Shaquilla, and William got more and more strained. So your suspicions about Shaquila and her husband happened, was that because because the way they were acting, they just weren't acting, you know.
In the middle.
You know, Chak the rockers time to contribute it. I think that his job moved.
In the middle of an investigation, right, So why I mean, why do I mean, why do that?
Why move? So they moved in the middle of it literally, they was in Houston.
They moved to Houston, and they was up there in Houston, and that's to verify and death factual. From what I know is from when they was going up there to view furniture. On the way up there, they already had knew that no furniture was in that apartment. The furniture was already stolen, so there was no furniture.
In that apartment.
So the trip to Houston was to go up there to get the furniture out of the apartment and take it to a storage unit. Okay, they never had took note, they never got your no furniture up there because there was no furniture in the apartment and when the police asked, they gave a fast location.
So for where they were supposedly living.
Great.
What Jacques was saying there was that his uncle and Shaquilla allegedly gave police a fake address in Houston. If that's true, how could that not raise red flags? Now, again, this is something that Jacques claims. I don't know if it's true. The police have never mentioned Shaquilla or William as people of interest out all in this investigation. They completely deny they had anything to do with Ayesha's disappearance. Just want to make that clear. But again, I just
want to go back to the timeline. Did Ayisha actually leave Arkansas and go to Houston? This is a crucial point, something we need to figure out. So let's go back for a minute and talk about Ayisha's phone. As we said before, the phone was left at Ayisha's apartment, but shockingly, the police did not immediately take it.
I really don't get this.
I mean, Ayisha had called the police multiple times to report break ins. She had been put on the patrol list, so I really don't get why there was not immediate alarm when her apartment.
Was found like that.
In the end, Jacques said, Shaquila took Ayisha's phone. Now, according to Jaques, this was because Shaquilla apparently thought that her son he might be able to figure out the password. But Laquita said in the end her family members told her they could not get into the phone, they couldn't guess the password. Eventually the phone was given to police,
but that was several days after Ayisha went missing. I have also heard rumors that Aisha sent text messages on November tewod I wanted to get to the bottom of this. Rena said that she had discussed this with Captain Harwell, and apparently he told her that this came from one of Ayisha's relatives supposedly receiving a text from Ayisha after November second, and her grandmother potentially getting a FaceTime call, and there were supposedly posts on Facebook related to this.
I'm trying to track down those Facebook posts because figuring out when those calls took place and if anyone actually saw or heard Aisha would seem to be a crucial piece of data we need to figure out.
Captain Harwell.
The Elderrated Police Department released a statement asking the public to come forward with information. He said, quote, what we need at this time is for people to come forward and tell us what they know. People don't want to get involved, people are scared of retaliation.
End quote.
I can understand part of this because, as we'll go into in more detail next week, a lot of people who are potentially connected to this case do.
Have criminal backgrounds.
But I just want everyone out there to think about this mother, this brother, this family. Imagine if it were your daughter who had vanished without a trace, and you had no idea what happened. I know that you would want someone to come forward. We need for someone to come forward with information. Anyone with any information can call the Elderrated Police Department at eight seven oh eight eight one four eight one to oh. We are going to
keep going on this case next week. First of all, I want to find out if Ayisha ever actually left Arkansas and made it to Houston, and if she did, where's the proof of that. We also want to track down and try our best to answer the question of whether there were texts and or calls from Ayisha's phone made after October thirty. First, this could give us more information about where Ayisha was headed. Or if the conclusion leads us to believe Ayisha might have met with foul play,
then we need to be asking a different question. If Aisha was not alive after October thirty, first, who sent those text messages from her phone?
