Nailah Franklin, 28 was last seen Sunday evening and last heard from Tuesday night. She's 5'2" and weighs 110 pounds. She filed a police report last week stating that she was receiving threatening phone calls from an acquaintance. Her company car, a 2005 Chevy Impala with Illinois license plate 1957855, is also missing, as is computer equipment from Franklin's home. It would be a fool's folly to hope that this story would garner the media attention afforded missing white women.
UPDATE: Nailah's body was found in a wooded area of Calumet City on Sept. 27. Reginald Potts Jr., a 30-year-old Chicago resident with quite the questionable history has been questioned and investigated by police. He's admitted to dating Ms. Franklin since March of 2006 but claims their relationship was casual. He also admits to having a falling out with Ms. Franklin in August of 2007 but insists he wouldn't have laid a hand on her. This story is still developing with Potts being very vocal about his innocence and claiming to have received threats against his life. No charges have been filed against him regarding this case but he was arrested on October 31st, for violating an order of protection another woman had against him.
