Have you forgotten about Aliayah Lunsford? Her great-aunt and other family members feel like her case has been forgotten, and with her parents not showing any care for the missing girl's case, it's understandable that this case has gone cold. Vickie Bowen, her great aunt, had some words to say to media reporters about the need for closure.
Vickie Bowen implied the belief that Aliayah Lunsford is dead, without using so many words. She expressed the need to know what happened.
"We need that closure," she said.
This case is a year old now, and there are still no answers to the question being asked; most importantly, what happened to little Aliayah? Police have made no arrests, named no suspects and have done virtually nothing in the investigation behind her disappearance in several months.
Could the slow pace of FBI agents and other investigators indicate their belief that the missing child is dead? If they believed she was alive, wouldn't there be an urgency behind the search for her?

Okay, I have to disagree & agree with Glen. Have you heard of the missing 15yr old Keiosha 'Red' Felix, missing since April 30th 2012, from LaFayette, LA?? Well, she went missing in LaFayette, she is actually from Duson, LA. Anyways, she is a little black girl, police have a 'person of interest', a picture of the POI & they have arrested several family members connected to the missing girl. However, the police hardly talk to family about updates & I understand keeping things close to vest, but come on....she hasn't garnered even 1/10th of the media coverage locally & nationally, compared to a few others down south, in LaFayette, but I won't mention names. You I'm sure are aware of the others in LaFayette recently?!?.. If I'm not mistaken, several police officers were arrested or are under suspiscion(spelling Sorry drew a blank lol) of being racist & not following up on leads etc....why???? Ill give you 1 answer, simple & sweet, because she is black. Period point blank.
They have a missing fb page set up for her called 'Find Keiosha Felix Now'. Id link it, but I am on a phone & some reason I'm having trouble. If you google her name it should pop up the fb page & the coverage of family members arrested. On the fb page is a photo of the POI too.
Anyways, I don't think ALL missing cases are like Keoisha's. It depends on the determination family members will go to, to find that loved one. However, Keiosha's family have pushed LE, pushed the media, hung fliers etc etc etc...
Money is a key player as well & I hate to say it. Well that & the help of the community. I have to ask though, why did LaFayette, Louisiana pull together so much for Mickey, but haven't for Keoisha???? How come the community came together for Mickey, but not Keiosha?!?! THAT is my numero uno question...WHERE IS THE COMMUNITY NOW???? Its not fair, just simply not fair. Poor girl.
