Still Missing MD - Akia Eggleston, 22, 8 months pregnant, Baltimore, 3 May 2017 *Guilty*

[Henry2326]

I was hoping when I returned that Akia would be found. It appears this case has gone cold. I'm very sad for her family but hope leads come to light in the future.

I just learned about Akia. Still catching up, but glad to see her story in the media yesterday. Sad that it’s already been two years though.

Akia Eggleston went missing in Baltimore, Maryland in May of 2017. Akia’s family became alarmed when the 21-year-old failed to show up to her own baby shower on May 3. Calls to Akia went unanswered. Family members visited her apartment to find only a couple of dressers and her bed. They said it looked as if she had moved out. Akia then missed her next prenatal appointment. Akia was eight months into a high-risk pregnancy at the time. Her son would now be two and a half years old.

Authorities originally said they did not suspect foul play in connection with her disappearance, but in 2018, told Dateline they believe foul play is involved. Authorities said they are investigating about a dozen people, but have not named a suspect. On November 7, 2017, the FBI announced a reward of up to $25,000 for information regarding Akia’s whereabouts.

I hate it when police say ”no indication of foul play”. An eight month pregnant woman who missed her baby shower and hasn’t communicated with anyone and who isn’t at home, work, a medical office or the hospital is a big flashing red sign screamiing FOUL PLAY.
Isn’t the leading cause of death for pregnant women foul play? I don’t have a link to that stat so MOO!!

Bumping. Thinking that it would not be hard to push a heavily pregnant woman into water, imo.

My first guess would be that someone didn't want to pay child support ?

 

[TGIRecovered]

I agree, it’s most likely that someone didn’t want to have to pay child support. Another less likely scenario would be that someone wanted a baby and killed her to get it.
MOO
