The Disappearance of Heaven McGee

Heaven Desiree McGee has been missing since January 2025. The 20-year-old woman was living in Oakland, California at the time of her disappearance, however; she was last seen in Stockton on January 20th. Heaven never returned home and her loved ones have never seen or heard from her again.

The FBI is working with the Oakland Police on their investigation into Heaven’s disappearance. A report on Heaven’s case from June 2025 quotes an FBI investigator who stated, “Based on the evidence gathered in this case, we believe Heaven was being trafficked and [that] is [the] reason why she was in the Stockton area.” Authorities have not disclosed what evidence they have found that leads them to believe Heaven was trafficked, likely due to the ongoing nature of the investigation.

Additional details about the circumstances surrounding Heaven’s disappearance are unknown as well. What is known is that Heaven’s mother last saw her in Oakland on January 17th, 2025. The final confirmed sighting of Heaven occurred three days later in Stockton. Various online sources state that she was last seen at a truck stop in Stockton - a location that locals have called a “bad area.” 

Since that final sighting, Heaven’s location has been unknown. Her loved ones are still desperately seeking answers. The FBI has placed a monetary reward available in exchange for information that could lead to Heaven’s whereabouts. If you have any information that could help the investigation, please contact authorities at 1-800-225-5324 or submit a tip online.

The Murder of Meagan 'Summer' Renee Turner

 

Meagan Renee Turner was only 28 years-old when her life was tragically taken on October 18th, 2023. The young woman, who went by the name Summer, was killed while at a Bubble Zone Carwash in San Antonio, Texas. Summer’s assailants have still not been brought to justice.

According to reports, Summer was vacuuming the backseat of her car when she was approached by three men who fired several rounds into her vehicle. Witnesses saw the men exit a vehicle that had parked near the carwash property before they ran towards Summer’s car and began shooting. Immediately after, the men ran back to their vehicle, which was being driven by another man. The car then fled before police arrived on the scene. 

First responders found Summer lying in the backseat of her car with multiple gunshot wounds on her body. She was pronounced dead shortly thereafter. It was clear that Summer had been murdered, and police soon learned from witnesses about the men who had shot her to death.  However, those men have never been identified or arrested. To this day, Summer’s killer(s) still walk free.

No information about a motive for Summer’s murder has ever been publicly revealed. It’s unknown if she was targeted or if her death was completely random. Investigators have made a public appeal for anyone with information about the three men or the driver of their getaway vehicle to come forward. A monetary reward is available in exchange for information that could lead to the arrest/conviction of Summer’s killers.

If you have any information that could help solve the murder of Meagan ‘Summer’ Renee Turner, please contact San Antonio Crime Stoppers at Crime Stoppers at (210) 224-STOP (7837) or submit a tip online.

The Disappearance of Kayla Miller

 

Kayla Miller has been missing since April 13th, 2015. The young teen was last seen in Marietta, Georgia. She was only 13 years-old at the time of her disappearance.

According to Missing Persons in America, Kayla and her family members were staying in a hotel at the time of her disappearance. She reportedly left that morning from said hotel to walk to school but never arrived at any of her classes. Kayla also never returned to the hotel, and her family members have never seen or heard from her again. 

Various sources state that authorities believe Kayla left on her own accord. It’s unknown what evidence, if any, investigators have to support the theory that she ran away. Some sources state that authorities believe Kayla might have stayed in the local area - but it’s unclear where, exactly, she could have gone or how she could have stayed hidden. 

Over a decade has passed since Kayla’s disappearance, and she still remains classified as a runaway. There has been minimal news reporting on her disappearance, and details about her case are very scarce. Many questions remain - such as, why do police believe Kayla ran away? Why has the media seemingly ignored the case of a missing child? And is anyone still looking for her?

As of today, all of those questions remain unanswered, as Kayla remains missing. At the time of her disappearance, Kayla was 5’11” and approximately 150 lbs. If you have any information that could lead to Kayla’s whereabouts, please contact the Marietta Police Department at 770-794-5300.

The Murder of Dominique Carter-Bryant

 

Dominique Carter Bryant was murdered outside of her Louisville, Kentucky apartment on February 9th, 2013. It’s believed the 30-year-old woman was about to enter the building at 6:15 AM that morning when she was ambushed with gunfire. Dominique was shot multiple times and died on the scene. Her assailant(s) fled the area before first responders arrived. 

According to reports, Dominique went out with friends the night before her murder. It appears that she was arriving back home at the Salisbury Apartments on 22nd and Magazine Streets when she encountered the shooter(s). Dominique’s husband, niece, and daughter, who was just 11 years old at the time, were all inside the residence when the shooting took place. 

Early into the investigation, Dominique’s mother Belinda Carter shared that she did not believe her daughter’s death was random. Carter told reporters, “They waited for [Dominique]. Whoever it was waited for her. Six o'clock in the morning....they didn't rob her, so this was done intentionally.” At that time, investigators declined to say whether or not they shared the same theory with Dominique’s mother. They have continued to remain tight-lipped over the years about the status of the investigation.

In fact, there has been very little media reporting about Dominique’s case over the past decade. Her murder still remains unsolved and is considered a cold case. The Louisville Police Department has agency over the murder investigation. If you have any information that could help solve the murder of Dominique Carter Bryant, please contact authorities at 502-574-7111 or submit a tip online.

The Disappearance of Qiana Allen

 

Qiana Allen has been missing since June 23rd, 2023. The then-39-year-old woman lived in Pontiac, Michigan at the time of her disappearance. Qiana was last known to be at her home on Firelite Lane. She had a scheduled shift at a McDonald’s in Auburn Hills that day, but she never showed up. Qiana has never been seen or heard from again. 

Before vanishing, Qiana spoke on the phone with her mother, who lives in California. Her mother said that Qiana mentioned she was going to her shift at McDonald’s, and that her job was going to send her an Uber or Lyft to take to work because the buses were not running that day. Other than that, nothing seemed unusual about their conversation. 

It’s unknown if Qiana’s job did, in fact, intend to send her a rideshare service. There does not appear to be any witnesses who might have seen Qiana get into a vehicle on the day of her disappearance. It is known that Qiana never arrived at her shift that day, but further circumstances surrounding her disappearance are unclear. 

Qiana remains missing today. The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office has investigative agency over her case. If you have any information that could help solve the disappearance of Qiana Allen, please contact authorities at 248-858-4951.

The Murder of Marvayah Darby

 

Marvayah Darby was only 12 years-old when her life was tragically taken during the early-morning hours of June 13th, 2025. The young girl lived with her family in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She was shot to death at her residence on 5000 block of N. 73rd Street.

The shooting occurred at approximately 1:20 AM. At that time, according to reports, a vehicle pulled up in front of the Darby’s home.Then, a person or persons inside the vehicle fired several rounds at the residence. Some of the bullets traveled into the home and struck Marvayah as she slept in her bedroom. She did not survive and was pronounced deceased by first responders.

The Milwaukee Police Department and the FBI have been searching for Marvayah’s killer(s) since the onset of the investigation. Unfortunately, the case has quickly grown cold; as detectives have been unable to identify any suspects. Investigators have shared that they believe “a silver or gray SUV may have been involved” in the shooting. Other than that, there is no further information about a potential suspect or suspects.

Reports state that the Darby family had moved into the home just a few weeks prior to the shooting. One particular report on the case states that “detectives believe the house itself may have been the target, not Marvayah.” Relatives of the family have stated that they do not know why anyone would want to harm Marvayah or anyone in her family.

Investigators have reportedly interviewed neighbors of the Darby family, classmates of Marvayah, and “anyone listed in gang databases.” Unfortunately, nothing has led detectives to any substantial leads. The FBI has offered a $10,000 reward in exchange for information that leads to the arrest/conviction of Marvayah’s killer(s).

If you have any information that could help solve the murder of Marvayah Darby, please contact the Milwaukee Police Department at (414) 935-7360 or submit a tip online.
