Summary

Relisha Rudd was just eight years old when she went missing in 2014. Kahlil Tatum, the man suspected of grooming and kidnapping her, deceived Relisha’s family – and the police – in the weeks leading up to her disappearance. After nine years of searching, authorities are still looking for Relisha and pleading for the help of the public to find her.


If you have any information about Relisha’s disappearance, contact the Metropolitan Police Department at 202-727-9099 or text the tipline at 50411.
