GUILTY MI - Detroit, Male UP12576, 20-40, dismembered, May'14 - Sheldon Prawl

  • #21
I found the Instagram acct for a guy (not our UID) who claims to be one of Raisha's best friends. He posts her pic every year on April 7. Seems like he would know of another guy that would have a memorial tattoo for her. Not sure of protocol here in terms of contacting friends, though.

The photo of her in the red blouse in front of a mirror looks like the woman in the murder report, but the other photos don't. They don't all look like the same woman.

The comments on that Instagram post are...interesting. There seems to be a "he" that they all know who is.

yes and they all seem to blame "him" for her being shot. I am speculating that the young lady whose death matches the date on the Unidentified Male's tattoo may have been involved with a male who was the actual target of the people who shot her. That is the sense I am getting. Her relatives seem angry at him for her being in that position to get shot.

I wonder what that male's name is and if he is missing?

I noted on the instagram conversation about her unsolved shooting one person made a comment something like "it's already been taken care of" or handled or some such <paraphrased> which made me think it? Or He?

Just a thought.

no clue if any of this relates to this unidentified male but it feels like it does. Has anyone had any luck chasing down Raisha's birthdate? Does it match with the one listed on male's tattoo?

No luck here on her DOB. On a friend's Instagram post (see my last post here), he says it's her bday weekend, but it's dated October. So not sure she is connected to the tattoo. Still can't find anything on a "Deisha" though. I did submit the info to Detective Krebs.

I found her DOB: October 30, 1984. Back to the drawing board...

According to this link, Deisha is a diminutive form of Quadeisha. Not that my (admittedly basic) searches have brought anything of interest up for the longer version of the name.

I wonder if the name from the tattoo is transcribed correctly. I couldn't find a Deisha but I did find something on Raisha Cole, who was murdered in Detroit on that date (murder still unsolved):

From the other post

Tattoos
Left Forarm- "R.I.P. Deisha" with the dates 8-23/81 - 4-7-2009
This is the only person coming up for the name/DOB. I do not see an obituary
DEISHA; D.O.B.: 08 / 23 / 1981; All States

I think that's the wrong dates (the Desha as opposed to Deisha).

No obituary, but I'm 95% sure that this Deisha Dodd is the granddaughter of well known reggae producer/etc Coxsone Dodd (he died in 2004). Here is her Photobucket: http://s159.photobucket.com/user/prettyd4life/library/?sort=3&page=1

And here is her in 2001, with her mother: http://reggaephotos.com/images/CoxsoneDodd/CoxsoneDodds_06_16_01_4.jpg

Unfortunately, this doesn't get us MUCH closer to the UID, unless LE get in touch with Deisha's mother Carol in Brooklyn and ask if she perhaps had a white boyfriend or close male friend around the time of her death...

so Deisha was 25-26 when she died (assuming that is the meaning behind the tat on the unidentified male)

What other post?

Tip; if you click the arrow in my quote it opens in the original post.

The DOB & DOD match the Deisha I linked to. Whether he knew her; I have no clue.

She would have been 27.

DOD? I thought that Deisha was still alive.

I can't figure out either way, but I don't see anything that shows she's not alive.

I just spent two hours on Ancestry and can't find anyone with either that DOB or DOD and any variation on the name "Deisha". I also flipped the dates (i.e. 7/4/09) with no luck.

I have no clue if she's alive or deceased; she's the only one with that DOB & name spelling that's on record

There was a Deisha in Rochester NH who died in 1983. I found a reference to her in the index for a defunct Rochester newspaper (http://www.rpl.lib.nh.us/Data/COUR80UPPe.htm):

Bisson, Deisha T., died 2/13/83: 2/22/83p9

Some of the Bissons are related to a family named De Sha or Desha, and are from Cape Breton. When I went looking for Cape Breton relatives, I found a Deisha Devison whose sister died in November 2009. DD appears to have been alive at that time so I doubt if she's the right one, either. And I couldn't tell whether any of them are related to the others.

we have no clue what the Tat means on our vic. But the most common and logical assumption is that the first date is a DOB and the second listed with the name is the DOD.

So: We are off and on the trail on the tat, Deisha the dates, what about what white men that age range are missing and unresolved in that area during the time period? 2014 - this man has not been dead long. He is 20 to 40 white male. What can we find?

ETA OK that is friggin weird. I swear I read on the NamUs page that I saw the TOD was guestimated at 2014. Now I can find no mention of an estimated TOD.

Like I was SURE I read it there.

shudder. Steppin out.

ETAA Whew. I Literally had a moment. Found where I read it.

SO WHERE IS THAT INFO ON THE NAMUS PAGE? Can anyone find it? Because it does narrow things quite a bit and that is helpful, but only if accurate.
