Still No Sign Of Anisha, Family Fears Worst
posted (December 11, 2018)
The search continues tonight for 23 year old Anisha Young. The family says at this point it seems there is no hope in finding her alive. As we told you, she went missing early Sunday morning. She went to her staff Christmas party on Saturday night and then went to Sit and Sip with her boyfriend and three friends. They all left Sit and Sip in a taxi. The taxi dropped her friends off first and then took Young and her boyfriend home. No one has seen or heard from Young since then. This morning we caught up with her family and friends who were getting ready to search for Young. Here is more from Young's cousin.

"According to her friends, three of her girlfriends were with her, they were dropped off first and then Anisha and her boyfriend, the taxi claims he dropped them home, yes they were the last to go home."

"All eyebrows start to raise was when her uncle got a call about 9:00 the Sunday night from a private number, some unknown person called saying to go and look for her we do not know who the person was and we don't know what he or she was talking about to go look for her where."

"This is a group of family and friends, we are not waiting on the police department to do anything. We came together, we are canvassing her area that she was living to see if we can find anything. We are about to hit the road. We don't know, we are praying that God will lead us to somewhere or probably somebody on the road saw something."

"And you said you are going by the 8 miles cemetery?"

Sheree Salgado, Cousin
"Yes we are getting some leads, nothing much is coming out of this investigation but what we are hearing we are working on that."

When we called this afternoon, Salgado told us they have not located Young as yet. She said they plan to meet at tonight at the Constitution Park to figure out what they will do next. According to the family, the boyfriend is saying that they both went to bed and when he got up she was gone. We will keep following this case.
