Unsolved: Relisha Rudd — Crime House 24/7

An eight-year-old girl stops going to school.

No one reports her missing for nearly three weeks.

Not the shelter.
Not the school.
Not even her own family.

In 2014, Relisha Rudd vanished from a Washington, D.C. family shelter. The only adult who claimed to know where she was turned out not to be a doctor, but a shelter janitor.

Days later, his wife was found murdered. Weeks later, he was found dead in a park. Relisha has never been found.

In today's first Unsolved Tuesday episode, Kaelyn Moore and Morgan Absher examine the surveillance footage, the hotel sightings, the trash bag purchase, and the systemic failures that may have cost a little girl her life.
