A Black teenage girl who went missing four years ago while in Chicago has finally been found.
NBC News reports that Joniah Walker was kidnapped outside a Chicago movie theater on June 23, 2022. Walker, who’s originally from Milwaukee, took an Uber to Chicago that was arranged by a man she had been speaking to online for multiple years. Walker was only 15-years-old at the time of her abduction. Police have identified the man who allegedly abducted her as 37-year-old Owen Anderson. Anderson was allegedly holding Walker captive in a small home in Blacksburg, Virginia.
Authorities have alleged that Anderson turned off her cellphone and threw it away with a burner phone he used to contact her shortly after meeting her. Her parents immediately knew something was wrong when her phone kept going to voicemail. Walker’s disappearance was well publicized throughout Milwaukee, and her parents were continually critical of Milwaukee law enforcement for the lack of efficiency in their investigation.
