Thanks for the update. The possibility of an accomplice is interesting.Next month marks five years since Najah Ferrell's disappearance. Five Years.
I just finished watching the episode of this case on Discovery+, entitled "Somebody Knows Something" (Still A Mystery, S3 E10). Here are some key takeaways from the episode that I haven't seen discussed here and a quick summary of events :
- Najah canceled her engagement with her fiance (boyfriend of 10 years.) late in 2018.
- Najah and her ex-fiance agree to continue living together until Najah can secure alternative housing.
- Najah was excited about her new job at Panera due to having a preferable work schedule.
- Najah's mother, Paula Gholson, confirmed that she had spoken to Najah over the phone late the night before Najah went missing (March 14th)
- Camera footage shows Najah's vehicle exiting her apartment complex at 3:15 am the day went missing. (March 15th) We cannot confirm who was in the vehicle.
- At 5:05 am, surveillance video of the parking lot where Najah's vehicle was ultimately located shows that 'an adult male' parked Najah's vehicle, then entered another vehicle that was following behind.
- This part is important because it lends credibility to an accomplice.
- No evidence whatsoever was found in Najah's vehicle.
- (not super important to the details of the case, but something I found interesting) Paula identified the foot of her daughter through a photograph that the detective showed her. I get the impression that she has not seen the foot in person imo.
- As per the episode, Paula Gholson (Najah's Mother) is raising Najah's two biological children, and the three foster children were returned to the foster system.
Interestingly, I don't believe that I have seen/heard any mention of the personal belongings strewn across the side of I65 in the episode.
Further, while many people close to Najah were interviewed for this episode, the ex-fiance was not. I'm not sure if that was his choice, or on Discovery's part, but I can hardly imagine a scenario in which Discovery would not want to interview someone so pertinent to the investigation.
