Leah Hickman Sep 20, 2024

Show notes

When 21-year-old Leah Hickman went missing from Huntington, West Virginia, in December 2007, the entire community rallied together to find her. Within days, her family spoke to national news outlets, digital billboards displayed Leah’s picture and information, and her employer offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to her whereabouts.

But just a week after Leah was reported missing, the hope of finding Leah alive turned to absolute horror when she was found, and despite statements from authorities stating they knew who did this, almost 20 years later, Leah’s loved ones are still waiting for justice.

Leah Hickman was killed in Huntington, West Virginia, on December 14, 2007. She was white with brown hair and blue eyes, was 5’2”, and weighed 125lbs. Anyone with information is asked to call the Huntington Police Department at 304-696-4420; you can also submit tips anonymously through their tip line at 304-696-4444.

Rilya Wilson Jul 11, 2024

Show notes

However, it wasn’t long before the truth about the Grahams and DCF came to light, exposing the many failures in Rilya’s case.
