Relisha Rudd was 8 when she was last seen on March 1, 2014, in Washington, D.C. Surveillance footage from a Holiday Inn Express in Northeast D.C. shows her walking down a motel hallway with 51-year-old Kahlil Tatum, a janitor at the D.C. General Family Shelter who had befriended Relisha’s family while they were staying there. Relisha had stopped attending school, prompting intervention; investigators determined she had been missing for weeks before the motel sighting.

Authorities launched an extensive search and received thousands of tips over the years. Before investigators could question Tatum, he died by suicide. The Metropolitan Police Department says the case remains open and continues to solicit information. Community groups mark a Relisha Rudd Remembrance Day and hold annual events to distribute posters and keep attention on the case.

If anyone has information about Relisha or her movements in late February or early March 2014, please contact the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children or the Washington Metropolitan Police Department.
