What is going on True Crime fans? I'm your host Tee. And I'm your host Daphne. And you're listening to Going West.

Hello everybody. Thank you so much to Annelies for recommending today's case. I mean get ready to be pissed because this story is so, so,

weird. Like you guys are gonna get the chills. You're gonna be frustrated. It's just an absolutely disturbing mess. And our hearts really go out to her mother,

Jalanda, for the fight that she's had with just getting justice for her daughter. Yes, absolutely. So please make sure that you share this story and keep Zakira in mind.

Oh, and thank you to everybody who wished he a happy birthday yesterday. We went to Universal Studios for like the billionth time this year. We're always there.

And then we celebrated with friends for dinner and it was so awesome, right? Yeah, no, it was amazing. I turned 35 and thank you guys so much for all the birthday wishes.

That really made my day made me feel so happy. I actually did a little bit of a live while we were at Universal Studios. But I kind of just didn't really know what to say.

On Instagram, yeah. So I ended it pretty abruptly. But I love you guys and thank you so much. All right guys, this is episode 317 of Going West. So let's get into it.

In July of 2022, a 20 year old woman was killed in a car crash in Maryland during a road trip with her friends.

After receiving a disturbing phone call from one of the friends she was traveling with,

getting inconsistent accounts from police and those at the scene, and seeing a mismatched autopsy report,

her mother is desperately pushing for the truth about what really happened to her daughter.

This is the story of Zikira Camp.

Zikira Camp was born on November 18, 2001 in Starkville, Mississippi to Jelanda Camp.

And at the time, she joined her older brother named Tyler, who Jelanda remembers, was incredibly protective of her off the bat.

With Jelanda being a single mother, the three of them were very close. And when the kids were still young, the family left Mississippi and relocated to the Austin, Texas area,

where Zikira really seemed to thrive. And we were fortunate enough to speak with Jelanda and be able to ask her some questions.

And she spoke glowingly about her daughter, saying, quote, when she came into this world, she was lovable.

Jelanda remembers that she knew that she was pregnant before it was even showing up on tests, and she had to convince her doctor to give her an ultrasound.

Jelanda said that that was typical for her daughter, who always made her presence known.

Saying, quote, that's just the kind of person Zikira was.

Her effervescent personality and kind soul carried with her through childhood and into young adulthood.
