Ebonee Spears was a 30-year-old mother living in Wilmington, North Carolina. On the night of January 15th, 2016, she walked into the police station during a mental health crisis—looking for help. She left the station a short time later, and was reportedly seen again near her home. But after that, she was never heard from again.
Nearly a decade later, her daughter is still without answers, and her family is still fighting for the truth. How does someone vanish after taking clear steps to get help?
In this podcast, I walk through the full timeline of Ebonee’s disappearance, including the confirmed sightings, the missteps, the police response, and the heartbreaking questions that remain.
