BERKELEY, Mo. — A family is searching for a 25-year-old woman and her 3-year-old child who went missing from their home in Berkeley.

Berkeley police are looking into what happened.

The family says Makayla Wickerson and her daughter Malayiah were last seen at their home in Berkeley off Graham Lane just under three weeks ago.

“It's not like her. She's a goofy and smart individual. Like, this is not like Makayla at all,” Makayla’s cousin Jamieca Gandy said.

The family last saw them on July 28 and say they are scared, shocked and searching for them both.

“We've been going through social media. We've done a missing person report, but she's cut off all communication with us. So I don't know her whereabouts. I only know her last known address. And she's not there anymore. And it's not like her to leave everything behind,” Makayla’s mom Cartisha Morgan said.

***********
“I have been concerned about who she been hanging out with because there's people that I never seen her with before. I pretty much know the friends that she actually was best friends and always communicate with them as well,” Gandy said.

************
If you have any information or have seen Makayla or her daughter Malayiah, call police right away.

I was coming here to post this. I read it on LSA. Does she work? Does she drive? Where's the baby's father? What are her friends saying?

A self-proclaimed prophet built a ‘cult’ online. Six followers are now missing

Six people, including two young children, vanished in Missouri last August. Police say they were all followers of self-proclaimed prophet Rashad Jamal. Andrea Cavallier reports

“These people are gone, and it blows my mind,” Major Steve Runge told The Independent.

They were last seen on 13 August 2023 at a Quality Inn Hotel at 55 Dunn Road in Florissant, Missouri.

When police searched the house, they found it left as if the individuals had just “gone to the store” and were expecting to return.

Food was still in the microwave, laundry was still in the washing machine, and left behind were several valuables including a closet full of shoes worth thousands of dollars.

Police also discovered an altar, items wrapped in copper, and other odd findings that led them to believe the adults were fully “living this cult,” Major Runge said.

A group of six people, including two young children, have been missing since August – and police say the adults all have one thing in common – they all openly follow a self-proclaimed “prophet” and rapper with a massive social media following.

After they seemingly vanished without a trace from a rental home in St. Louis, an investigation by the Berkeley Police Department in Missouri was launched, but months later, there are still no answers about their whereabouts

It’s been months since Naaman Williams, Gerielle German, her 3-year-old son Ashton Mitchell, Mikayla Thompson, Ma’Kayla Wickerson and her 3-year daughter Malaiyah were last seen.

Hope the little kids, Ashton and Malaiyah, are ok ?
I'm all for consenting adults to make their own decisions (if that is what's happening here !); but involving small children is a big 'no no' for me.
Omo.

 

[gitana1]

Is there a central location for this cult? Where did they go? I mean the leader is now in prison.

'I just wish I knew where they were': How an online cult is tied to 6 disappearances

Four adults, who with 2 kids have been missing since August, are suspected followers of Jamal Rashad, who leads The University of Cosmic Intelligence.

When Cartisha Morgan’s daughter said she was going on a “spiritual journey,” she was initially supportive.

But troubling signs soon appeared, namely when Ma'Kayla Wickerson, 25, distanced herself and her 3-year-old daughter Malaiyah from the rest of her family – a decision that Morgan said was unlike anything her daughter had ever done before. “She was so different,” Morgan told USA TODAY. “I didn’t understand.”

While she grew increasingly concerned, Morgan could never have known what they were caught up in.
Authorities are investigating the disappearances, the alleged cult and possible ties to murders in other states, Missouri police say.
Red emphasis mine.
Hmmm.
The photo (from post # 9 and also the Yahoo link) troubles me due to the unkempt yard.... as if they're neglecting everything except their meditation ??
So sorry for their worried relatives.

The leader has a troubling past !
And don't get me started about the fact he was able to contact people with his cell phone and influence followers online, whilst still incarcerated ??
I mean, what the heck ?
Omo.

 

[borndem]

Ooh, that beautiful Malaiyah! And her pretty Mom...
Are they truly dead or just missing? I just cannot bear this.
My heart aches for them and the people who love them.
