Help Find Keeshae And Bring Her Home!

💙Keeshae Eunique Jacobs💙

💙She was shy, but fiercely loyal, sometimes to a fault.

Though small, she had a penchant for standing up for friends, a protective streak that endeared her to those around her and would occasionally get her in trouble at school.

💙Keeshae was born on August 6th, 1995 to Toni Jacobs in Richmond, Virginia. 

She lived with her mother and her older brother, Deavon. Even though Deavon was older, Keeshae acted like she was his older sister and deeply adored him. Keeshae would often confide in her mother about boys and other things that were happening in her life, and the pair would often spend their time going to the mall, watching horror movies and communicating via cellphone throughout the day.  Growing up, the family of three was extremely close. To make ends meet, Toni worked a variety of customer service jobs. In elementary and middle school Keeshae was a cheerleader and her mother the coached. Through cheerleading and school, she gained a group of friends whom she was incredibly loyal to. While tough, she had a sensitive side and always ensured her friends had smiles on their faces.

💙Upon graduating high school, Keeshae remained at her mother’s house while she figured out what she wanted to do with her life. She filled her time working various jobs. Her current job was as a clerk at a thrift store, but was considering joining the military. Keeshae took pride in the money she earned, as she didn’t like asking others for money.

💙It was September 26th, 2016 and Toni and 21 year old Keeshae both had just got home. Keeshae had gotten into an argument with a boy she had been dating and was talking to Deavon about it. Then Keeshae told her mother she was going to a a girlfriend's house. About 11 p.m., Keeshae's friend arrived and she walked out the door of the family's apartment building in the Midlothian area of Richmond, Virginia, off Erich Road.  This was the last time Keeshae's family would see her.  

💙Before going to bed that night, Toni text Keeshae and told her she was going to bed and make sure she kept her phone charged. Keesha replied that she was going to spend the night at the girlfriend’s house and that she'd be home the next day. They told each other i love you and Toni told Keeshae safe. She replied "Yes Ma'm" and that was the last time Toni heard Keeshae's voice.

💙The next day, Toni was at her job as a dispatcher awaiting a phone call from her daughter, letting her know she’d gotten home safely. Normally, Keeshae would call during Toni’s 11 a.m. lunch break, however, no call came. Worried, she called Keeshae’s cellphone, but it went straight to voicemail. She then call Deavon, who told her the last time he’d spoken to his sister was the previous night.

💙When Toni returned home that evening, she noticed Keeshae still wasn’t there. Worried, she called her daughter’s friends and visited their houses, but there was no sign of her.

💙Around 2:00 a.m. on September 28th, Toni contacted the Richmond Police Department to report Keeshae as missing, citing it was uncharacteristic for her daughter to go so long without contacting her.

💙The brother and the police talked to the man Keeshae was dating, the man she had fought with the day of her disappearance. He told the brother that he and Keeshae broke up and he didn't have anything to do with her disappearance. He also cooperated with police and said that someone had picked Keeshae up and he wasn't the last to see her that night.

💙Two days after Keeshae went missing, a friend came forward and said that he had dropped Keeshae off in Church Hill to meet someone, about 10 minutes from her house. However, he did not know who the person was. Toni drove to the man’s house where Keeshae was dropped off. The man offered up numerous accounts about the night of September 26th. While he admitted to knowing Keeshae and seeing her that night, he claimed she had called for a ride not long after arriving and left. Toni then called the police. At first, the guy wouldn't cooperate with police, but then he eventually let them in. They walked through the house, but there was no Keeshae.

💙If the man had anything to do with Keeshae's disappearance, he had 2 whole days to cover his tracks. It's too bad that Keeshae's friends didn't tell the truth from the start.

💙The Sunday after Keeshae went missing, Toni still hadn't heard from the detective assigned to the case. Toni received a call from the owners of the house the man was staying in. They had seen Keeshae's story on Facebook and gave Toni that she could search the house. Toni went over and searched the house where she found a hidden deep basement that had to be access from the back of the house on the outside. It was a place the police hadn't checked that day they had came and looked for Keeshae. Toni also noticed bloody tissues in the garbage can.

💙So not only did the friends possibly give the man a head start, but with the police not searching well enough they might have given the man even more time.

💙Toni decided to contact the detective and inform him that he doesn't need a search warrant and that there is a hidden basement. When the police arrive, they brought dogs and searched the house twice. Supposedly, they found Keeshae's DNA, but wouldn't say what and if they found anything else. Also they discovered that the man was a convicted felon on parole and that after talking to police the first time, he fled. Officers also took the dogs to Chimborazo Park, that was two blocks away from the house they were searching, but came up with nothing.

💙There’s been no activity on Keeshae’s debit cards, cell phone or social media accounts.

💙Deavon, was killed on Jan. 8, 2017 at a Richmond hotel. 

James D. Henshaw went to trial for Deavon's murder and was originally sentenced to 15 years, but after the discovery of new evidence he was granted a new trial. The retrial was sent for June of this year, but before it could take place, plead no contest. Hensaw was sentenced to only 5 years in prison.  Police do not believe the two cases are connected.

💙Keeshae was last Seen Wearing black basketball shorts, pink and black Nike basketball shoes and a pink scarf. She has tattoos of a 🌹rose on her shoulder, 🐾paw prints on her right thigh, a 💮flower on her right wrist, “Toni” beneath a 💙 heart on her left shoulder and a 🍃leaf on her right foot. Her ears are pierced and her fingernails were painted blue. At the time of her disappearance Keeshae was 5'3" tall, 100 lbs with brown hair and brown eyes. Authorities believe foul play is involved in her disappearance.

💙 Allegedly, convicted felon Randy Leonard Watkins is serving close to a decade for violent crimes involving another woman and burning a baby. He allegedly has knowledge of Keeshae's whereabouts. He was on suicide watch and would not talk with police.

Toni believes that Keeshae is still alive and she continues to hold out hope that she’ll one day return home. Toni is currently working toward her Associate’s Degree in Human Services at J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College in Richmond. She recently accepted her certificate in Substance Abuse Counselling, a program both her children had pushed her to sign up for back in 2015.

Toni credits the Richmond Police Department and the Richmond community for helping her make it through both Keeshae’s disappearance and Deavon’s murder. She regularly visits Maury Street Cemetery, where her son is buried.

Through her daughter’s disappearance, Toni has become an advocate for families who have lost loved ones. She partnered with the Richmond Police Department and the city’s mayor, Levar Stoney, to mark Missing Persons Day each April.

Please, let's help bring Keeshae home. Any tip, no matter how small could make all the difference. 

Today is Keeshae's birthday and she would be 24 years old.

WE WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU KEESHAE! IF YOU SEE THIS DON'T GIVE UP ON US EITHER. IF YOU CAN LET US KNOW WHERE YOU ARE.
