Unforgotten Rewind: S1 E2 Rickem Samuel & Interview w/Ericka Davis

20-year-old Rickem Samuel was last seen on April 2, 2016, getting into a black 4-door Nissan Versa at the Eastern Boulevard Walmart with two of his coworkers from Hyundai Glovis. On June 30, 2016, Rickem's body was located in the 300 block of South Hopper Street. His mother Ericka Davis sat in with us for a discussion about his case, so you’ll hear from Ericka as well as hear the replay of season 1 episode 2’s feature of Rickem.
