True Crime Black
Hosted by True Crime Black · EN
The True Crime genre doesn’t always include equity in its storytelling. Every day, there are black victims of heinous murders, stalking, assault, robberies, and many more. Those cases are not presented with the same context and background that the cases of others have the benefit of receiving. True Crime Black is seeking to change that one case at a time. New episodes every Monday (Patreon subscribers get Ad-free episodes).

She left her home at around 11:00 pm that Monday night. Her mother, Toni Jacobs, had given her instructions to send her a text when she arrived at her friend's house so that she knew Keeshae had made it safely. Keesahe did just that, at 11:41 pm. She concluded her text by telling her mother that she loved her and would see her the following morning. Toni proceeded with the rest of the night having no idea the importance of that text message. It would be the last time that she ever heard from her daughter. Tragically, Keeshae never returned home the next day, and she hasn’t been seen since.

He would find himself traveling to Montana and Idaho to work on a show called Gold Rush. It was during this time that Terrence began acting out of character. Just a few days after arriving on set, Terrence went to his supervisor and asked for some time off. He told his supervisor that his mother was sick and having surgery and he needed to go home and be with her. This would end up being a lie.

Whoever committed this murder is someone that we believe she knew," said Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood. Markia Benson’s body was naked in her bathtub. She had several burns throughout her body due to the scalding hot water that was running onto her skin. As the police made their way through her apartment, they found that her home was in a state of disarray. The furniture in her apartment had been knocked over and there were papers thrown all over the floor. There was also a hateful message — directed at women — written on the wall in red lipstick. The exact message has never been revealed by the investigators. They believe that Markia knew her killer and that it was personal. They explain that the lack of forced entry, or signs that point to it, shows that Markia had to willingly allow that person into her apartment. Markia had been killed by being struck with a blunt object to her head and neck. She was murdered at around 9:30 am.-----During the week, Amaru would stay with his father.

They thought that, after nearly 30 years, they’d finally found their missing loved one. The woman was the same age as their missing loved one would be. The woman had the same name as their loved one, though she spelled it slightly differently. She even looked like a spitting image of some of the members of the family. It had to be her, right? Sadly, it wasn’t. The woman’s birth certificate would prove that she wasn’t the adult version of the missing child they’d been looking for. So what is the family to do now? How are they supposed to find their missing child? It would seem that their last hope is for someone to hear the story and remember something that could bring some answers. This is the case of Daffany Tullos.

In May of 2016, a 19-year-old from Tumwater Washington disappeared. Drivers spotted his car abandoned on I-5 with his wallet, cash, food, and his cell phone. The Investigators in this case don’t have any evidence of foul play, but consider the missing person’s case suspicious nonetheless. “This case bothers me, big time,” said Thurston County Detective Frank Frawley. He expressed that he can’t say one way or another if the young man is alive or dead. That is the most frustrating part for all of those involved. This young man just vanished into thin air and left little to no evidence behind that could help us figure out what happened to him. The hope is that the attention on this case will help spark someone’s memory. This is the case of Logan Schiendelman.

When it comes to the unsolved cases of black victims, one of the harsh realities we need to acknowledge is that Black victims are disproportionately affected by gun violence more than any other race. For that reason, a lot of the unsolved cases we cover involve the shooting deaths of black men, women, and children. Sadly, a lot of those cases provide little information to work with. That has led to True Crime Black covering the cases in what will be called “Senseless Shootings”. Here is volume 1.
