The family of a 26-year-old Black, pregnant mother of four found dead near a Kansas City, Missouri, park wants to know why the police investigation into her mysterious death has stalled. Elaysha Gilliam was found in a field near Dunbar Park shortly before midnight on Feb. 19, according to the Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department. Details regarding her homicide are murky, and so far no arrests have been made.
He, too, questions what caused his sister’s death. “We’re still at a loss for words. We don’t know what to think,” Brandon said. “Death happens, but the wrong person was taken from us.” Life hadn’t been easy for Elaysha, a pregnant mother of four whose children range in age from 2 to 9. One of her children has sickle cell anemia and another eats through a feeding tube, family said. “She had a lot of stress trying to take care of a lot of people,” Clydetta said.
