You have to be a special individual like Betty to touch so many people and face multiple disabilities I only seen two news pieces on Betty and it was related to another young transgender female who was also murdered in the same year (Brittany Stergis) I was reading some of the comments left on her obituary because I didn't ask permission I will not include their names.


- Betty was very faithful to her church. She always brought a smile to many faces. She was very gifted in PowerPoint presentations. She will be missed by many

- I went to high school with B Skinner. I always had fond memories of those times. She was a testament to the fact that you didn't need the perfect body, nor the eloquent speech to be a beautiful human being. She was the ray of sunshine that gave life to the world and all she touched.

- Betty was a brilliant, outspoken, wonderful woman. It was a pleasure to know her and a shock to learn of this terrible tragedy.

- I am very sad to hear of the loss of Betty. She was always very sweet and funny and it was a pleasure to work with her.

Today is Lakeisha Streety's birthday she would be have been 41 as of 6/14 today, over 12 years ago she was murdered in her home multiple news sources reported different ways that contributed to her death, I've read strangulation, stabbing, and being shot so there is no official report via the web of how she met this cruel, unfortunate demise.

I have looked for news reports to obtain more information on recent updates but as of right now I haven't seen any recent or thorough reports on this matter. It was very much a sentence or two not even a full paragraph which is a injustice in itself, that I cannot seem to wrap my mind around. She left behind two children and a whole bunch of friends and family who you can tell loved her dearly. Hopefully with this post something can jog the memory of someone decides to come forward and provide this family with answers. Visit her memory page below to see comments left by family and loved ones. #JusticeforLakeishaStreety

White shirt w/ black leggings and black flip flops & pink and grey Northface Jacket other reports have her wearing a pink and gray shirt and black sweatpants.

I have added pictures of the style of Northface jackets that women in the area typically wear because the weather is really just its own person in Ohio.


Please note this may or may not be the style of jacket she is wearing just giving an idea of the Northface jackets women typically tend to wear in this area it was mentioned that she was last seen around 1:00AM which it would have been chilly (Yes, even in June) depending on the weather.


Details

Shaniece was last seen on 6/19/2013 during the weekend she attended a birthday cookout for her mother which her mother returned to work on 6/18/2013 and was contacted by the boyfriend of Shaniece indicating that she was missing some sites are indicating 2 days later which if the case is extremely alarming because it seems like her and family were very close from the news broadcast linked below also the following from Channel 10:

"It was two days later when Williams said she got the call that Shaniece was gone. "Her boyfriend called and asked 'is Shaniece over there?'" Williams recalled. Williams said Shaniece's boyfriend said her purse was on the kitchen table and her kids were there sleeping."

That conversation led to a search for Briggs, but she has not been found. - Channel 10

She walked out the back door at 1:00 a.m., taking her wallet and cellular phone. She didn't take her keys or purse and she left the door unlocked. She also left her four young children behind at the apartment. Ms. Briggs is a mother of four children ages 6, 5, 2, and 1 (ages reported at time of report)

A neighbor reported seeing Briggs being pushed into a black car parked in front of the apartment complex. She has never been heard from again and since her disappearance there hasn't been any activity on her financial accounts.

Afterthoughts.


This is the front of where Shaniece was currently living at the time, it is not typical to use this during the night from my experience. Her place was between 17th and 18th St and a lot these side streets in the area are one way. Both streets allows cars to come down both sides accept for 18th when approaching the same side where Shaniece's home is located it becomes a alley/one way. 18th st is actually the most irritating streets I have ever went down because of this, using GPS it is a nightmare down that street because of the long stretch it takes and this one way split to Mt. Vernon.
