On this date, 17 years ago, a young woman, who had just recently had her birthday in February, was to appear in court because she was a witness to something that was no where near her or where she was found 1 month later.
The night before all this happened, she was out with her so-called friends! She came home, got ready for bed, said goodnight to her Mom and that's all I know.
The next day, she was no where to be found!!!!
The PPD (Philadelphia Police Department) said she ran away, her Mom, knew better!
Had they actually considered something happened to her, she might have been alive today, and enjoying life! But, we will never know, will we?!
Flyers were put up everywhere, looking for Ericka. Her "actual" friends went searching for her. Still nothing.
I got involved when I saw a Missing Person's flyer on a store door. I learned how to set up a MySpace account (which has been long gone) and got in touch with a friend from Missing Persons. They were the ones that told me, when they found Ericka's body in April 2007. I was told from them, that her friends on MySpace were posting RIP Ericka. But this was on April 19, 2007.
On the actual date, April 16, 2007, I was picking up something for my Mom and overheard a Police scanner on a Police Officer, saying they had found a body. My heart sank but I didn't give up Hope.
The day I find out, I had just taken my child to the dentist. I saw I had a message on MySpace so, I went outside for a smoke to read it.
When I read it, it shook me to the core. I started shaking and I knew I needed some answers. So, I did what others don't do, I called the Northeast Detectives. I asked the normal questions, Is it True Ericka Brair's body was found? I was told Yes! Then I asked if the media was there? I was told No because they were handling the V-Tech Massacre. I thanked her but had to give her my name and number too. She said that I will be contacted by those involved (PPD). I said fine.
Got home and had to get ready for a Parent's Teacher meet and greet at a new school my child was attending. I was late but was able to meet those teachers on my own. And what was my excuse? I was on the phone being interrogated by 1 police officer and it didn't stop there. The Next Day, roughly 5 or 6 officers talked to me on my phone, which at the time I had the minutes on it, they stopped calling me. They kept asking the same questions over and over again and I kept giving them the same answers.
They really had no idea who they were taking to on the phone. But I remembered their names and 1 name in particular kept coming up, almost everywhere I went. Once I had Jury Duty, the Judge asked all of us, if we know these Officer's names. I had to be honest once and I really didn't want to but I had to. You see, he didn't know me or who I was even by name but I knew him. Too bad because that trial was declared a deadlock for the penalty phase and the idiot should be dead or waiting death by now instead of being alive!!!
Yes, been for the Death Penalty for a long time too.
It's interesting, as I'm writing this post, I see a Police van drive by, I remember and Officer killed in the line of duty's trial and remembering a lot more than I've had in years.
To the people that know what happened to Ericka, I hope you turn yourselves in or die in pain knowing others lost someone they truly loved!
To the person who made this happen, Karma is coming for you and your kids! It's Karma, you never know when or where it will happen but it happens!
To my readers, if I offended you in anyway, voice your opinions in a Private message.
If I hit a nerve, Good!
I combined both March and April in this post about Ericka for a reason and that reason will be posted in April.
The Hotline Number is currently not available at this time. No one was really calling it. Yes, I got a few phone calls and even some other stuff but nothing solid and nothing that was able to be used against the person or people involved.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend! Spell check was NOT used, but words will be fixed when I read this over tomorrow.
