Through The Cracks
WAMUWhen 8-year-old Relisha Rudd disappeared from a homeless shelter in Washington, D.C. in 2014, nobody noticed. By the time authorities formally declared Relisha “missing,” 18 days had passed since she’d been spotted at school or the shelter where her family lived.

- Thank you
I just recently saw this series mentioned on socials. Decided to check it out. Thank you for such a thoughtful and thorough telling of this story. It is as much about Relisha as it is about her family and the city. You tackled it from all angles. Relisha Rudd will never be forgotten.

All this podcast did was reinforce why society doesn’t pay attention when they go missing. They are so messed up from being brought here in chains & everything else that has happened to them since then that they just don’t act like us, for lack of a better description. The Steve Wilkos show demonstrated this perfectly.
