I'm not sure who she is but.. I wonder if these 2 are related to each other? like cousins because wasn't this child missing from a family member? who was the person who took her? Why hasn't anyone know or not saying who.

Bumping for Sherise as we approach the 45th anniversary of her disappearance.

This is such a hearrbreaking case. What happened to this poor little girl. Why isn't the family speaking up? There's a lot of black children missing that you would think given the circumstances of age and vulnerability and sounds like also was taken by a family member (possibly...) that there would have been noise about this. Hard to believe citizens wouldn't care...

So who was the family member and are they missing too?

I read that it was her father.

I'm wondering if @Caring1 could find any news articles at the time and maybe it states what Family member they was?

I am not coming up with anything on Sherise or the Magee family no matter how I dice it. You would think a familial abduction of an infant or toddler would hit the media. Possible back story here. Was not able to locate birth announcement either. She was born 12/30/73.

Could you link the source that said it was Sherises Father?
