Hunting for Answers is a production of the Black Effect
Podcast Network and iHeartRadio. Welcome to Hunting for Answers, a
true crime podcast. I'm your host Hunter, and Today's episode
marks the beginning of our three part series about a
Tennessee woman's life that was tragically cut short in the
(00:23):
fall of twenty fourteen. It's a case with extremely haunting
circumstances that remains unsolved till this day and left a
family desperately searching for answers a decade later. In this series,
I spoke to some of those who knew her best,
(00:43):
her three siblings. Their memories paint a picture of a
vibrant life even as they continue searching for the truth
behind its sudden end. This is the story of Nina Cook.
In October twenty fourteen, a woman's remains were discovered in
(01:04):
an abandoned church building in Whitehaven, a town nestled in Memphis, Tennessee.
Through dental records and a recognizable surgical rod in her leg,
the remains were identified as twenty eight year old Nina Cook,
a vibrant young woman with budding dreams and ambitions. She
(01:28):
did pageants, obtained her real estate license, even began her
own trucking company. A dedicated, loving sister, the type to
never miss sending a birthday card, and a second mother
to her younger siblings, was suddenly gone, her whereabouts unknown
(01:51):
for months. But before we dive into the timeline and
circumstances surrounding nine as untimely death, must first understand who
she was and the profound impact she had on those
around her. Nina grew up in Memphis with her siblings.
While each had different relationships with her, they all shared
(02:14):
one common thread, Nina's deep love for her family. Her
older sister, Lydia, remembers her childhood made so much brighter
because of Nina.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
So I would say that my relationship with my sister
growing up, my childhood was so much better because she
was in it. We spent a lot of time together
in Memphis, but I think my dad. The most memorable
times were when my dad would come and get both
of us and we would travel together, so riding in
(02:50):
the backseat of the car, getting in trouble for giggling
too much the whole way, the road trips that we
would take, whether it was to Florida or Kentucky, putting
on our makeup together in the bathroom, taking too long
when my dad wanted us to get ready really fast,
(03:11):
making fun of the fact that he kept making us
eat wheat bread. We had tons of inside jokes and
we were always getting in trouble together because we could
not stop laughing.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
The bond between these sisters was evident to anyone who
saw them together. Nina was a very affectionate person and
never shy about showing love to those who meant a
lot to her.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I loved how affectionate she was. She was always holding
my hand, always calling me boo, rubbing my face, wanting
to do my hair. So we have tons of pictures
and memories together where we're walking through the mall, we're
at the park. No matter where we were, we were
captured holding hands from the back, so we were just
(03:57):
like two peas in a pod.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
One memory Lydia shared with Nina took place at a
Kentucky park.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
One of the funniest moments we had was we were
trying to get away from Dad at this park. It's
a huge park in Kentucky that he would always take
us to, and so we convinced him to pay for
us to get on the paddle boats. So we're on
the paddle boats, right, and we were young, we were teenagers.
(04:26):
We get on the paddle boat and Dad's like, you know,
you have X amount of time to be on these
paddle boats to make sure you're back over here. We
were like, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. So we get on
the paddle boats and we were We went with the
intention of taking a long time to just really, you know,
share with one another and kind of make Dad a
little mad. But we got stuck. We were tired, and
(04:49):
we got stuck in the middle of the lake. So
we took much much longer than we originally expected. But
we were laughing so hard we could not up enough
strength to move the paddle boat to the other side,
and we thought we were gonna have to call for help.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Those seemingly small moments like running off in a paddle
boat with your sister have become some of the most
treasured memories that Lydia has helped close. While Lydia experienced
Nina as a sister and best friend, Nina's younger siblings,
Kenya and Chris knew a different side of her after
(05:31):
their mother passed away. Nina seven two more of a
parental role.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Kenya says having her is an older sister was great.
She did a lot for me, I think for me,
and I can't speak for Chris, but like I'm hearing
Amanda talk about all the handholding and the love w stuff,
(05:57):
and I think for us, we had her more as
a parental figure, So it was like she was kind
of more a mom.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Figure to us.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
So we didn't really get a whole lot of the
hand hold and all that because my mom passed away. Yeah,
I was seventeen, but even before then she was not
as far as present in our household. She was not
there due to her own struggles. So she definitely took
(06:28):
on that role of making sure we had what we
needed clothes, and making sure we had what we needed
for school, and just trying to support us in any
way she could, showing up for stuff for school, helping
us by clothes, supporting us through for me through college,
helping with prom things like that, just being there, you know,
(06:48):
to talk to, fussing at me, like Amanda said.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
For Chris, who was much younger, Nina was everything. Christmas
was particularly special with her around. He remembers how she
always embodied the spirit of the season woo.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
So what was my relationship like with my big sister.
In a word, I can just describe her as Santa Claus.
That was my Santa Claus. Pretty much anything that I
needed or wanted or didn't even know that I need, uh,
she was there, you know, very involved with my school.
(07:29):
I mean just one of the earliest memories I can remember,
from like second third grade, fourth grade, just randomly just
pop in. I went to Ottawad Elementary and just randomly
she would pop in, you know, just on the last period,
you know, just to let people know. That was around
the time, you know, dealing with the loss of a
(07:51):
mother in like six You know, she took a really
really involved hand, especially in my upbringing, letting people know,
you know, he does have family, he does have support,
We do show up for him.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Nina didn't just provide material things. She was invested in
Chris's education and future. She pushed him to excel. Even
during summer break.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I remember in her apartments she kept a room specifically
for me, so you know, I had real prench treatment
going over there. You know, games, I have my Spider
Man whole set up everything that I needed over there.
So in the event that I was with her, I
could study. She was really on me about my academia,
(08:36):
even in summertime, where I think I'm supposed to be chilling,
She's like, uh, no, you need to know about the
great Black inventors. I'm like, it's great black inventors. I'm
I'm eight of nine. I want to play video games.
I want to go out with my friends. Like She's like, no,
you need to know who invented this, that and that,
and I need a research paper from you. At the
end of.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
July, Nina understood and explained some of the realities her
younger brother might face, and made it her mission to
help prepare him as much as possible.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
One of the things that she would always preach to
me is that as a black man, you oftentimes would
have to work twice as hard and really to just
continue to push my good grades. My sister was an inspiration,
much like Kenya in the sense that a lot of
people don't know. I looked at her old report cards.
(09:29):
She didn't make nothing lower than a three point eight GPA.
I spent a lot of time with her. There wasn't
a weekend that I can remember from about eight to
right up in the time of you know, her passing
and different things, and she was just you know, city
to city, state to state. You know, she would travel
a lot that I wasn't with her on a weekend.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
The consistent theme in her loved one's memories is Nina's
unwavering presence, love and dedication, and despite having her own
life and ambitions, she always made sure her family never
felt alone. But beyond her role as a daughter, sister,
(10:12):
and caregiver to her younger siblings, Nina Cook was a
young woman with big dreams and passions. Panya describes her
as a driven and charismatic person who knew exactly who
she was.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Very confident, I would say, very much knew who she was.
Very much a hustler in a good way, very much driven,
go oriented. Just she just was very very charismatic. She
(10:51):
made friends easily, very supportive. A girl's girl for sure. Yeah.
I mean, I think anyone who knows her or even
just meeting her, she could make you feel comfortable and
just confident. She was just a good person overall, good personality.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Not not had a big personality and always kept it
real to those around her. But one quality miss.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
I would say probably her sense of humor at times,
looking back, some of the stuff I didn't think it
was funny in the moment. She was very very loving
and balsy though, but in a good way. But she's
definitely very opinionated and would give you her opinion unsolicited,
(11:46):
no matter what. She didn't care if you liked.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
It or not.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
I miss just her sastiness, how outspoken she was. Just
he knew it was coming from a good place, even
if the delivery wasn't the sweetest, softest. She was very,
very outspoken in a blunt person. So you definitely have
to have tough skin, but she's gonna tell you the truth.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Lydia recalls Nina's creativity and how she always made room
to forgive.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I admired her generosity, her capacity to love and forgive.
She was very forgiving. She had a really big heart,
but also her her tenacity and her drive. She was
super driven, very creative. It was really important to her
(12:39):
to take care of everyone around her, especially her siblings,
like she loved us. Sometimes she would try to act
like the big sister to me. She's a big sister
to Chris and Kenya. Sometimes she would try to tell me,
you know what, I needed to do and how I
needed to live my life, and how you're gonna raise
these kids and make sure you love on them enough.
(13:01):
And uh, she was. You know, she's very fierce for
her capacity to forgive and love and her generosity. It's
probably what sticks out the most.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Something Tanya believes many people might have overlooked about Nina.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Just her good intentions. She wanted to do a lot now.
She had a lot of goals and ideas and dreams.
Wanted to own her own trucking company. I don't think
many people know that she had started to develop a
trucking company called Stratosphere Carriers, and she wanted to be
(13:41):
a freight broker. I think a lot of people probably
don't know how smart and intelligent she was because she's
very beautiful, and so people will probably look at her
and automatically assume, you know, superficial things. They didn't know
that she's very intelligent and very smart and very business
(14:03):
a lot of business savvy and just very much about
you know, development and growth. So I think that gets overlooked.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Nina's interests weren't only limited to business, however. Chris reveals
a side of his sister that few might have known about.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
The love of basketball. I don't think many people realize
that she was an avid basketball fan. Even if she
couldn't play, she loved the game. One of the first
stories that she told me about was about a little
known guy named Michael Jordan. Uh So, he played for
(14:45):
the Chicago Bulls, and she would tell me he was like.
She was like, man, Chris, like you know bedtime stories.
Jordan used to fly through the air and I'm talking
about what you mean says fly? It's like, no, he
would float so high, and I'm thinking, like, literally, this
guy's flying through the air. The infamous free throw line dunk.
I don't know, y'all can look it up on YouTube,
(15:06):
where the Jordan logo was formed. She loved that memory
of Michael Jordan. So I don't think many people realize
how much of a sports fan she was.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
This picture painted by Nina's siblings reveals a multifaceted woman,
nurturing yet ambitious, beautiful yet intelligent, strict yet loving, and
direct yet forgiving. With all of these recollections, it's almost
(15:35):
impossible not to imagine Nina's future. She had ambition, drive,
and her desire to build something substantial. Like most, she
had a vision for her future, but what happened to
derail that future, and most importantly, who is responsible for
(15:58):
her death and why?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
For her capacity to forgive and love and her generosity's
probably what sticks out the most.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
The qualities that made Nina special, her generosity, her forgiveness,
her trust may have also made her vulnerable. But we're
getting ahead of ourselves.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
For now.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
We need to understand that Nina Cook wasn't just another statistic.
She was a woman who left an impact on everyone
around her.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
You know, she would give you the shirt off her back.
You know, she was such a giving and caring person.
You know there would be times randomly where she would
just come check in on me, can you my grandmother?
You know, just dropping money off, dropping so much money
off in fact, you know that. You know she would
(16:57):
just give it all out her family. Just such a
thank giving, caring person about her family. Her family was
really her world.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
In Part two of this series, we'll dive into the
circumstances surrounding Nina's initial disappearance, those last conversations with loved ones,
and a horrifying discovery that led to a year's long
investigation anyone with information regarding Nina Cook's case to contact

(09:29):
She didn't make nothing lower than a three point eight GPA.
I spent a lot of time with her. There wasn't
a weekend that I can remember from about eight to
right up in the time of you know, her passing

Speaker 1 (14:14):
Nina's interests weren't only limited to business, however. Chris reveals
a side of his sister that few might have known about.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
The love of basketball. I don't think many people realize

stories that she told me about was about a little
known guy named Michael Jordan. Uh So, he played for

She was like, man, Chris, like you know bedtime stories.
Jordan used to fly through the air and I'm talking
about what you mean says fly? It's like, no, he
would float so high, and I'm thinking, like, literally, this
guy's flying through the air. The infamous free throw line dunk.
I don't know, y'all can look it up on YouTube,
(15:06):
where the Jordan logo was formed. She loved that memory
of Michael Jordan. So I don't think many people realize

This picture painted by Nina's siblings reveals a multifaceted woman,
nurturing yet ambitious, beautiful yet intelligent, strict yet loving, and
direct yet forgiving. With all of these recollections, it's almost
(15:35):
impossible not to imagine Nina's future. She had ambition, drive,
and her desire to build something substantial. Like most, she
had a vision for her future, but what happened to
derail that future, and most importantly, who is responsible for
(15:58):

Speaker 1 (16:11):
The qualities that made Nina special, her generosity, her forgiveness,
her trust may have also made her vulnerable. But we're
getting ahead of ourselves.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
We need to understand that Nina Cook wasn't just another statistic.
She was a woman who left an impact on everyone
around her.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
You know, she would give you the shirt off her back.
You know, she was such a giving and caring person.
You know there would be times randomly where she would
just come check in on me, can you my grandmother?
You know, just dropping money off, dropping so much money
off in fact, you know that. You know she would
(16:57):
just give it all out her family. Just such a
thank giving, caring person about her family. Her family was
really her world.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
In Part two of this series, we'll dive into the
circumstances surrounding Nina's initial disappearance, those last conversations with loved ones,
and a horrifying discovery that led to a year's long
investigation anyone with information regarding Nina Cook's case to contact
