The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)
Sharmeen Smalls went missing from New York, NY on September 8, 1991.
Are all of these connected? I wish I knew where in NYC each Jed went missing from . It’s odd there are 8.. I wonder if they are connected?
NY - NY - Ebony Turer, 12, New York, Feb 24, 1991
How can I find family of any of these girls or any newspaper articles? This is so so heartbreaking to a me as a black woman. You mean if I had a 13 year old daughter, and 7 kids of other black women went missing there would be no investigation? Up until a few months ago, there wasn't even a mention that they even went missing.
If we don't speak up for them, they can be erased. I have seen it happen before. What can someone do about this?
I saw that. Surely she wouldn’t have been added to NamUs if she was known to be alive after 1991 though.Ancestry has a Sharmeen L Smalls born 29 July 1977 married to a Thomas Jones in 1997, living in PA and New York. Birthdate fits in with being 14 in 1991.
I know, just frustrating that more details aren’t given to be sure!I saw that. Surely she wouldn’t have been added to NamUs if she was known to be alive after 1991 though.
Very frustrating! I spent some time looking for information on these young girls and I had no luck. I’m hoping to do a more in-depth search when I have time.I know, just frustrating that more details aren’t given to be sure!
I hope this was just a hoax, but the graffiti could definitely fit Sharmeen's case.I was searching for something else and saw this article which led me to this thread. The messages were probably someone’s idea of a sick, sick joke. Her age is off but the date is pretty close.
The graffiti in a Harlem subway read: “On 9/14/91 I raped and killed a 9-year-old girl in Fort Tryon Park (Washeights).”

Things like that can be overlooked though. I've seen several UIDs that were identified fairly soon after they were found and missing people who are very obviously still active on social media etc. It could be they just uploaded all their old files without checking if they were accounted for in another state.I saw that.
