Missing Person Case
Renata Sharisse Myles Whitehead – The Charley Project

Renata was last seen getting into her father's vehicle in Jonesville, Louisiana on June 8, 1996. Authorities believe she left of own accord. Renata may have traveled to Natchez, Mississippi after her disappearance. Few details are available in her case.

I wonder what makes they think she left on her own accord. She was 14. Why do they think she may be in Natchez? and if she was last seen entering her fathers car is he not a suspect?

If she was last seen getting inside her father's car and yet she's reported as missing, is it because of some custody issues ?

If it was, wouldn’t that problem be resolved after turning 18?

I guess it wasn't if she's still listed as missing... Was she brainwashed by her father ? Or did he do something far more sinister to his daughter?...
I don't know that case is weird bc there's so little info..

Can LE really not locate her father? Surely someone he is related to knows where he is. Although it has been a very long time now, if the other side of her family has never seen her again, or if she was harmed, pursuit of justice is still warranted, IMO.
