Episode 279: Shemika Cosey

Shemika Cosey, a 16-year-old girl, vanished from Berkeley, Missouri on December 28, 2008, between 1:30 and 8:30 a.m. It was at her aunt's residence, where she had spent the night with her cousin, that she was last sighted. Despite the absence of evident foul play, Shemika’s family is convinced that someone is responsible for her disappearance. They firmly believe that something must have happened to her, as she would not have stayed missing for such an extended period without some kind of issue arising. The family is haunted by questions: Did she leave with an alleged older guy? Was she trafficked? Did she suffer harm due to information she had confided in an alleged boyfriend? Anyone in possession of information about Shemika’s disappearance is urged to reach out to the Berkeley Police Department at (314)-524-3311, or alternatively, contact NCMEC at 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678).
