Nadia Kersh, a 23-year-old mother, was last seen on November 3, 2008, in Homewood, Alabama. She left work as a cashier at Tria Market around 1:00 p.m. intending to pick up her one-year-old son from daycare but never arrived. The next day her red Chrysler Sebring convertible was found abandoned in an alley in west Birmingham. Three days later her purse was recovered under an overpass on some railroad tracks about 100 yards from where the car had been located.

Investigators treated the case as suspicious from the start because Nadia would not have willingly left her child; they focused on her personal relationships. In May 2010 Joacquas Megauil Haywood, a former boyfriend, was arrested and charged with capital murder after being a person of interest. A witness said a man in a black SUV like the one Haywood drove was seen entering Nadia’s apartment shortly before she arrived home, followed by a cry and a crash.

Nadia, born in Russia and raised for some years in an orphanage, was described as trusting and devoted to her son. Her disappearance remains active and unresolved and Nadia has never been found. Does anyone have information about Nadia’s movements on November 3, 2008, or about the red Chrysler Sebring after that day?
