Relisha Tenau Rudd, 8, was living with her family at the D.C. General family shelter in Southeast Washington, D.C. She was last seen on March 1, 2014, in the 1900 block of Massachusetts Avenue, Southeast, and was reported missing on March 19, 2014. She was 4 feet tall and weighed 70 to 80 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
The FBI released hotel surveillance footage showing Relisha with Kahlil Malik Tatum, 51, a janitor at the shelter, at a Holiday Inn Express in Northeast Washington on February 26, 2014, and authorities believe she was with Tatum. An AMBER Alert was issued on March 20, 2014. That day, Tatum's wife, Andrea Denise Tatum, was found dead in a motel room in Oxon Hill, Maryland, and a warrant was issued for Tatum in her murder. On April 1, 2014, the Metropolitan Police Department confirmed that Tatum had been found dead in the area of Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens in Northeast Washington.
Relisha has never been found. The Metropolitan Police Department says her case remains open, and the FBI offers a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to her location and return. Relisha would be 21 years old today.
