What do you have for us this week?

14
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:01,120
Well, for episode 28, I have for us a cold case.

15
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,800
Alright, let's get to it.

16
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:04,800
Let's do it.

17
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:10,400
So today we are covering the cold case of Keisha Murray, and this takes place in Jacksonville,

18
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,880
Florida in July of 2013.

19
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,240
But first a little bit about Keisha.

20
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,160
Keisha is 34 years old in July of 2013.

21
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:26,440
She was born August 16, 1978, and she would have been 44 years old today.

22
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:31,000
She's a mother of five, who family described as the life of the party and an excellent

23
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,000
cook.

24
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,380
Keisha was always smiling.

25
00:01:33,380 --> 00:01:40,000
Her sister Erica says, quote, She had a great sense of humor, always said the goofiest things.

26
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,760
You could always get a smile on your face thanks to her, end quote.

27
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:49,040
Keisha had been living with a schizophrenic diagnosis for 15 years.

28
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,160
In the beginning, she had struggled to accept her diagnosis, and this led into some minor

29
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,640
run ins with police.

30
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:59,560
But according to her family, she had gotten her life back on track and her life was headed

31
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,900
in a positive direction.

32
00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:05,200
Her family did say Keisha was too trusting.

33
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:10,200
She had fallen into the wrong crowd, which also contributed to her run ins with police.

34
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,160
Her sister Erica said, quote, She was always too trusting.

35
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:19,120
She always thought that anybody who smiled at her meant they wanted to be friends, end

36
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,120
quote.

37
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,720
So now we are going to get into the timeline.

38
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:29,280
And unfortunately, at this time, we don't know anything about the events that led up

39
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,120
to Keisha's body being discovered.

40
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,920
I will say that in all of the interviews that the family has given over the years, they

41
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:44,920
have never mentioned her missing that day or in the days leading up to July 7th, 2013.

42
00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:50,320
So it doesn't mean that Keisha wasn't missing, but no one has mentioned it at this time.

43
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:55,680
So here's what we do know about July 7th, 2013.

44
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:01,320
At around four in the afternoon, Keisha's body is found propped up against a tree in

45
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,580
the Restlawn Memorial Cemetery in Jacksonville.

46
00:03:05,580 --> 00:03:11,520
Her body was in plain sight, and according to reports, she was just inside the entrance

47
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:16,520
sitting propped up against the tree in a yellow floral dress.

48
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:22,800
Police are called and it's unclear by whom and police quickly rule the case as a homicide.

49
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,960
Now there hasn't been a lot of media coverage on this, as I previously mentioned, and police

50
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,680
have released very few details.

51
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:36,680
I actually reached out to the Jacksonville Sheriff Police Department asking for a statement

52
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,680
and as of recording this episode, they have not gotten back to me.

53
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,880
But if they do get back to me, I will record an update on that.

54
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,980
Police do reveal some of the following pieces of information though.

55
00:03:49,980 --> 00:03:55,280
Investigators believe that she was murdered elsewhere before being placed in the cemetery.

56
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,480
Investigators believe the body was placed not long before she was found.

57
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,840
But police say they have no idea how she ended up at the cemetery.

58
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:09,580
They also conclude that after her murder, she was likely bathed and then put in the

59
00:04:09,580 --> 00:04:11,640
yellow dress.

60
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:17,280
Police never reveal her cause of death or autopsy results, but based on how quickly

61
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:23,520
they report her body as being bathed after her murder, that leads me to believe that

62
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,120
there was an absence of blood that should have been there.

63
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,920
I don't want to speculate too much on the cause of death because again, we don't know

64
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,320
for sure.

65
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:38,120
But because it was so quickly reported that she was bathed after her death, that just

66
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,720
leads me to believe that there wouldn't have been time at that point to like do DNA, you

67
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,360
know, testing on her body and realize that there's no trace of anything.

68
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:51,780
So I think that would lead me to believe that the quickest way they could realize that was

69
00:04:51,780 --> 00:04:55,640
just an absence of blood that should have been there.

70
00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:01,800
Her family does view the bath as a last act of compassion by the killer, but the family

71
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,420
is devastated by the loss of Keisha.

72
00:05:04,420 --> 00:05:07,200
Her mother says, quote, unbearable.

73
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,400
I'm heartbroken.

74
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:09,540
She was my baby.

75
00:05:09,540 --> 00:05:11,360
She meant the world to me.

76
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,360
It's not going to be the same without her, end quote.

77
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,040
And I don't know Keisha's mother's name.

78
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,020
She was so frightened after her daughter's murder that somebody was going to be coming

79
00:05:21,020 --> 00:05:26,200
after her or her daughters and other family members that she asked to remain anonymous

80
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,280
in all of the interviews she gave.

81
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:34,960
Keisha's mother will really be swallowed by her grief, according to the family.

82
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:41,040
On Saturday, July 20th, 2013, Keisha's funeral is held at the New Bethel Missionary Baptist

83
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,680
Church.

84
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,400
And then the case really goes cold.

85
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:51,480
We don't hear about Keisha's death again until January of 2015.

86
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,400
So that's one and a half years later.

87
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:59,960
An organization called Mad Dads organizes a walk in Jacksonville.

88
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:07,020
Mad Dads stands for Men Against Destruction, Defending Against Drugs and Social Disorder.

89
00:06:07,020 --> 00:06:12,800
This walk in January of 2015 was wanting to bring awareness to unsolved murders and hoping

90
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,320
to end the code of silence that can dominate a neighborhood.

91
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,480
Keisha's murder is one of the cases that the group highlights with the hope of generating

92
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:21,480
tips.

93
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:28,160
In March of 2018, so this is almost five years since Keisha's murder, Keisha's daughter,

94
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:33,360
Rakeisha Murray, sits down with a local news outlet to talk about the struggle she faced

95
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:34,920
after her mother's death.

96
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:40,320
Rakeisha was 15 years old when her mother was murdered, and by 16, she was on her own and

97
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:41,320
homeless.

98
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:46,160
Rakeisha was able to get help from an organization called Daniels Kids, which helped her get

99
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,540
back into school.

100
00:06:47,540 --> 00:06:51,900
And in 2018, Rakeisha was studying to become a social worker.

101
00:06:51,900 --> 00:06:56,640
When talking about her mother, she says, quote, she was one of the most loving people in my

102
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,600
life and I lost that.

103
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,400
My little sisters, they don't really remember her much.

104
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,640
So it doesn't really affect them at all.

105
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,200
My brother, he took it really hard.

106
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,240
My older sister, she has her own method of coping with it.

107
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,640
She's not a very emotional person, end quote.

108
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:21,280
In February of 2019, so this is about five and a half years, Keisha's sister, Julia,

109
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,080
is interviewed.

110
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,880
And there have been no updates and no movement on the case.

111
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:32,680
And at this time, Julia is actually pursuing a career in law enforcement with the hope

112
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,980
that she can get some answers in her sister's murder.

113
00:07:35,980 --> 00:07:44,560
The family does reveal that two friends from Keisha's circle of friends were also murdered

114
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,680
in the months after Keisha's death.

115
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:54,360
I tried to look into this, but without knowing more information about where it was or what

116
00:07:54,360 --> 00:08:00,000
their names were, I couldn't find anything that verified this and police have never confirmed

117
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,060
it and media have never been able to confirm it.

118
00:08:03,060 --> 00:08:09,040
So I don't know, but the family says this did happen and I tend to believe family in

119
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,040
this.

120
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:16,120
So it does seem like there is a link with other murders in the Jacksonville area.

121
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,960
Julia says, quote, I've exhausted all avenues, but I'm still hoping for the day my family

122
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,220
can finally face the murderer in court.

123
00:08:24,220 --> 00:08:29,280
We may not ever find closure, but we could at least find justice, end quote.

124
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:35,920
So if you know anything about the murder of Keisha Murray, you are encouraged to call

125
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:43,720
the Jacksonville Sheriff at 904-630-0500.

126
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:52,300
Or you can call the First Coast Crime Stoppers at 866-845-8477.

127
00:08:52,300 --> 00:09:00,880
And the sources for today's podcast come from Uncovered.com, WJXT, The Times Union, Action

128
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,280
News Jax, First Coast News, and Project Cold Case.

129
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:11,560
Okay, so that's the story of Keisha Murray, the cold case of Keisha Murray.

130
00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:12,560
Wow.

131
00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:22,960
My first reaction was that it sounds almost fictional, particularly surrounding the description

132
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:33,080
of how the body was, I guess, cared for, or how it was handled postmortem.

133
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,160
Or maybe, I don't know, that's my assumption, that it's postmortem.

134
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:43,280
Yeah, that does seem to be what was reported, is that the bathing and then dressing of the

135
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,720
body all happened after her death.

136
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:55,280
I was very, upon hearing that, I was frightened.

137
00:09:55,280 --> 00:10:04,240
And later hearing that the mother remained anonymous, I thought that makes sense to me,

138
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:12,120
because that would terrify me, that detail more than the murder itself.

139
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:20,520
Yeah, when I found this case and was reading about it, I like audibly like, was like, oh

140
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:21,520
my god out loud.

141
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:26,400
I actually think I heard you the other day when I was in another room in the house.

142
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:33,400
I heard you, but I assumed it was about this, so I didn't come ask if you were okay.

143
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:41,880
Yeah, I just, yeah, that detail is, to me, really scary.

144
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,800
And it does seem like fictional, like something out of a horror movie.

145
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:54,440
And even the brazenness of dropping the body in the middle of the day, on a Saturday, broad

146
00:10:54,440 --> 00:11:02,840
daylight, in a yellow dress, you took the time to like, prop her body up against a tree.

147
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:07,400
And from all reports, you could see her as you were driving by, there's only one entrance

148
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:13,640
to this cemetery that I was able to like, you know, look at maps and things.

149
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,880
And you know, there are trees just right inside the entrance.

150
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:23,200
And I couldn't believe the brazenness of this.

151
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:29,560
And it seems like the work of a serial killer almost, you know, like somebody who's like,

152
00:11:29,560 --> 00:11:31,280
this is my signature.

153
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:36,960
Like the Baby Doll murders or something, you know, that's what it, and granted you and

154
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:43,440
I have consumed a lot of both like, fictional crime, thriller mystery, and true crime.

155
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:50,560
So I think we are more likely to fill in the details with this kind of stuff.

156
00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:57,040
Whereas, you know, the family said that, or they were maybe holding on to, perhaps it

157
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,360
was an act of care, you know.

158
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:00,360
Yeah.

159
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:07,920
And I see how a family would maybe hold on to that thought for hope, or whatever you

160
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:13,240
need to survive through such a traumatic thing happening to you.

161
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:14,240
Yeah.

162
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,680
And you know, at the same time, it's like, yeah, I can see that.

163
00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:22,880
Like maybe this person immediately had remorse and was trying to, you know, make it look

164
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,000
like she was knocked out.

165
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,000
Yeah.

166
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,800
You know, like my reaction, though, was like, this is the act of a deranged person.

167
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,200
Yes, that was my first knee-jerk reaction too.

168
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,800
But perhaps deranged isn't the greatest word to use here.

169
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,120
I just mean someone who's not okay.

170
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:42,120
Yeah.

171
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,120
Yeah.

172
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:52,280
But yeah, and I was shocked at the lack of media coverage on this.

173
00:12:52,280 --> 00:13:02,840
Yes, with the specificity of that detail that we didn't know about this, and it's in Jacksonville.

174
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:09,000
Like I know you don't watch the show and I do, but Dexter takes place in Florida.

175
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:14,120
And this is like, it's the show I immediately thought of.

176
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,120
Oh, interesting.

177
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,520
Because there are details like that on the show.

178
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:26,040
And you know, Florida, the best way I can say it is a wild state.

179
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,040
So wild things happen there.

180
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:34,920
And like, you know, this is, and I'm not talking about her death lightly at all, but it is

181
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,700
wild.

182
00:13:36,700 --> 00:13:38,400
Like it's a wild thing.

183
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:39,400
Yeah.

184
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:47,320
And it's wild that it didn't receive national attention for this bizarre act.

185
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,800
It's like bizarre post-mortem act.

186
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:54,520
Of course, we don't know, you know, we can theorize here all day about the motivation

187
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:55,520
behind that.

188
00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:00,540
But we won't know until people are brought to justice and can kind of provide those answers

189
00:14:00,540 --> 00:14:01,540
to the family.

190
00:14:01,540 --> 00:14:07,720
I'm glad you brought attention to it because I think, you know, our listeners and the people

191
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:12,560
who engage with our Instagram are pretty good about sharing the name again.

192
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:18,720
So even if there's just a blip of her name back out there again, because I'm going to

193
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,680
start looking like, what happened?

194
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:23,680
Yeah.

195
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,400
And I mean, truly, there's not a lot out there.

196
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:28,600
There's not.

197
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,000
I think we might be one of the first podcasts covering it.

198
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,300
I couldn't find any podcast episodes about it.

199
00:14:33,300 --> 00:14:40,200
There's a couple short YouTube videos that like kind of cover the case.

200
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,200
Maybe one of the listeners out there will, you know, know someone or know someone who

201
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:51,080
knows someone and we can get some more talk or conversation going around about it.

202
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,080
Yeah.

203
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:57,120
And again, if you know anything about Keisha Murray's death in Jacksonville, Florida, you

204
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:03,960
are encouraged to call the Jacksonville Sheriff at 904-630-0500.

205
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:11,440
Or you can call the First Coast Crime Stoppers at 866-845-8477.

206
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:18,520
I wanted to take another moment to highlight what you spoke about earlier.

207
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,920
Her daughter using the resource Daniels Kids.

208
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:29,440
That is really cool that that resource exists.

209
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:30,560
Yeah.

210
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:31,960
And I looked them up.

211
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,800
They're still an active organization.

212
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:38,240
They've actually been around since like 1860 something or 1880 something.

213
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:39,720
A very long time.

214
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:46,200
I'll expand in the graphics on our Instagram with like more information about that place

215
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,200
and also Mad Dads.

216
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,040
Mad Dads.

217
00:15:51,040 --> 00:16:00,680
I think both of those things that you talked about deserve more information like about

218
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:01,680
them on the Instagram.

219
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:02,680
Yeah, of course.

220
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,960
And we'll include information about Mad Dads and about Daniels Kids.

221
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,240
So if you're interested in learning more about them or donating to their causes, they're

222
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:15,680
both active organizations operating in Jacksonville.

223
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,520
And I believe Mad Dads is all over the United States as well.

224
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:20,520
Cool.

225
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:21,520
Like organizations.

226
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,680
But yeah, that'll be on our Instagram.

227
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,680
If you're not following us there, we really encourage you to follow us.

228
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:27,680
We post a lot of pictures.

229
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,600
We'll be posting pictures of Keisha here.

230
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,360
Yeah.

231
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:39,080
While you're in your podcast app, another way if you are enjoying these stories and

232
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,080
you want more people to hear about them is to leave a review if you're an Apple podcast

233
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,480
or a rate of five stars.

234
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,640
If you're somewhere else, that's really helpful.

235
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:47,960
Or just telling your friends.

236
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:52,680
We've had a lot of just by word of mouth.

237
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,200
Our listeners telling other people and them finding us.

238
00:16:55,200 --> 00:17:02,000
So thank you so much for telling your friends, family, loved ones, coworkers about our podcast.

239
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,840
And we encourage you to keep sharing it because the more people that hear it, eventually someone's

240
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,660
going to hear it that knows somebody that knows something.

241
00:17:09,660 --> 00:17:16,840
And that's always the goal here at Cold and Missing is to get these names back out there.

242
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:21,200
Get these names out here and get answers for family, whatever that looks like for them.

243
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,960
Justice, we want for our missing people, we want them to come home.

244
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:25,960
Yeah.

245
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:26,960
Yeah.

246
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:27,960
We want our missing to come home.

247
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,240
We want our cold cases solved.

248
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:36,080
And I think this quote by the sister of saying like, we might never have closure, but we

249
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,400
can find justice.

250
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:45,040
And I'm paraphrasing here, but I think that's that's really summarizes this podcast as well.

251
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:49,120
Like closure is indescribable in grief.

252
00:17:49,120 --> 00:17:50,120
Yes.

253
00:17:50,120 --> 00:17:55,760
And justice is something concrete and tangible that can be given to these families.

254
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,880
And that's something we want to do.

255
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,600
So just by being here and listening, you're a part of it.

256
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:01,720
Thank you so much for being here.

257
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,720
We appreciate it.

258
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,720
And that's all I have for you.

259
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,720
So have a good week and stay safe, y'all.

260
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:23,720
Stay safe, y'all.
