Episode 470: Danika Troy

Jan 5

Danika Troy disappeared after sneaking out of her home on November 30, 2025, following an online dispute involving two boys she knew from school. She was found the next morning in a wooded area, where investigators determined she had been shot and her body set on fire. Two teens, Gabriel Williams and Kimahri Blevins, were arrested and later indicted for first‑degree premeditated murder, while a third individual, Mitchell Eddins, was charged for failing to report the body after discovering it. With the suspects awaiting trial and no sentences issued, the case remains active as the community continues to seek justice for Danika.
