I don't. What are you talking about? I never said that. For the record, he just likes to say things to get my goat on the air. Yeah, he likes to say ridiculous, embarrassing things, but continue. So my sources for this one were KCBD, Fox 8, and WTRF. This is a really horrible case, and it's just happened recently. It's a developing situation. So as of recording March 5th. Fifth, when we're recording this episode, there are things that have not been necessarily, like, confirmed directly by police. So I'm going to be very cautious about what I say because God forbid I go on the Internet, see something on a Facebook page reported to you as news, and it's wrong. So there might be information you see out there that's swirling. I'm aware of that, but I just am trying to be cautious about how we do this, because even though it's a cheat sheet, I don't want to be, you know, we're a little bit more silly and casual and laid back on here. But I'm not looking to be giving you wrong information. That's my nightmare. So, anyways, so March 2nd, which was Monday, 2026, a dog walker is going along with his dog. His name is Philip Donaldson. And they're just hanging out. They're going on a walk like you and I and Nick do. And this is in Cleveland. They're near the. The Gin Academy or Ginn Academy. I'm sorry if I'm saying that wrong. Either way. And it's near the. The dog at some point runs over to the fence line of the saranac playground. And Mr. Donaldson immediately notices that the dog is paying attention to partly buried suitcases along the fence line. And this is off of East 162nd Street. It's a field. And Mr. Donaldson probably does what I think you and I would have probably done, because I think you and I are curious. He'd be like, oh, what's going on here? He unzips one of the suitcases. I can't really tell from the news coverage if it was two suitcases or one. But he unzips one and finds the worst thing you can find when you. In this scenario, which is he finds the body of a child, specifically a little girl. Her head kind of comes out of the suitcase. And he calls 91 1. I mean, he's said to the news that he hasn't slept since this happened. I don't blame him. What a horrible, horrible thing to discover when you're just going around. And so what police found there was doubly horrifying because it was not just one body of a child. It was two. Two little girls. And they were zipped up in these suitcases. And now they're trying to figure out what the heck happened. So they've been able to determine some information about the girls. They're. They're black, they're African American, and they're half sisters. So they. They're, you know, they share one parent, and they're believed to be between eight and a half and 13 years old. And then the other one is 10 and a half and 14 years old. And they appear to have been there for some time. So you might be wondering, like, how on earth is there a situation where we don't know who these girls are officially yet. Well, I First of all, I will say I think at this point police may know who they are. We'll get more to that later. But there has been an arrest seemingly in connection with this case. So that's one thing. The other thing is that though, you know, when these initial reports were coming out, police said pretty clearly, hey, we don't, we don't know who they are. And there's no missing persons cases that match up with these circumstances. So two missing girls who are half sisters. I even went on NAMUS at one point. I was trying to look and I didn't see anything that, I mean there were a couple of things where it was like sisters who were African American going missing. But the dates didn't really make sense and it just, it didn't really work. So you know, they started asking, hey residents, check your security cameras. Let's figure out who they are. And since then a one, a 28 year old woman named Aliyah Henderson has been arrested and booked into the Cuyahoga County Jail Wednesday evening. She was arrested for murder and child endangerment. So while I don't think it is officially confirmed that she is the person of interest who's been detained in connection with this case, looking at the charges fits. And police have confirmed that there was a search warrant at an address near East 162nd and Midland Avenue and a person of interest was, was taken into custody as, as well as a third child from that household. So that person, that kid is now safe. So yeah, there are some reports out there about the girls names. I'm not going to say them just in case they're wrong. Again, I would prefer to wait for like official channels or at least some reputable local news sources before sharing what I saw. But either way, what a horrible, horrible case. Now we don't know all of the details, you know, in terms of murder. Right. You have to prove, you know, more than just like some kind of homicide and then neglecting or abusing a corpse or whatever. But you know, that's, that's what she's been charged with at this point. And hopefully there can be justice for these two little girls. I mean to, to not to have their lives be snuffed out, but then also for them to be discarded in this fashion. It really is just kind of horrible to think about, but certainly a case that will be, I'm sure developing and things will be happening in Cleveland around this and the numbers that are relevant just in case you happen to be in Cleveland and have any information, meaning like direct information about the case like, you don't. As a reminder, we don't need to send police, like, recommendations on, like, DNA. They know. They know about that. But we can. We can. Like, if you are a neighbor and heard something, then that's what they want to hear about. So the Cleveland Police Department's Homicide unit is at 216-623-5464. And the Cuyahoga County Crime Stoppers is at 216-252-7463. And yeah, that is the story there. Very troubling, very disturbing.
