The Dark Diaries

28/11/2024

I am Ivy Webster and I was taken away at only 14 years old. I am sharing our story today.

I was a vibrant teen who loved to be with my friends and family. I was super close to my mom and would talk to her daily. She trusted me and saw me as a responsible teen for my age and she trusted me when it came to going out with my friends. 3 of Tiffany’s other friends and I were invited to her sleepover and to go to the mall. Two of her friends declined to come over but I really wanted to attend and my mother would agree to let me go. It would end up being Brittany Brewer (15 years) who would also attend the sleepover. There were 5 residents inside of Tiffany’s home, her mother, Holly Guess (35 years), her brother James Mayo (15 years), her sister, Rylee Allen (17 years), her stepfather, Jesse Mcfadden, and lastly, Tiffany Guess (13 years). Once the last weekend in April came I would be picked up from my home to attend Tiffany’s sleepover around noon on saturday. The plan was for us to go to the mall and to Main Event, an event center located in Tulsa, OK. I would keep my mother updated throughout the entire Saturday as I promised to do. My mother knew that I wouldn’t break our trust but it will soon be revealed that the trust of people who we think we know can be broken…

The next morning my mom and Brittany’s mom would receive a text stating that we were going to the McFadden’s family property in McAlester but we were not seen or heard from after this point. Monday would come and our parents would know that something had to be wrong. We had not returned home nor had we made it to the school bus that day. After they caught on to the suspicious activity, the HPD were alerted to the missing children. Deputies would arrive at the residence on Monday and discover that the door was left ajar…not knowing what they were about to walk into. Shortly after entering, police will begin to locate each of us one by one, a total of seven victims. We all were taken away by gunfire at the hands of Jesse McFadden before the gun was turned on himself.

Later, autopsies would reveal that Brittany and I suffered blunt force trauma to our lower extremities that were consistent with SA. Jesse’s wife and children had abrasions on their upper and lower extremities but the fatal ending for us all was a gunshot wound to the head.

Jesse started as a troubled child and also dropped out of school after 9th grade. His first run in with law enforcement was in 2002 for possessing beer as a minor. He would then be charged with felony grand larceny for stealing over $80,000 from his grandfather. Jesse would not stop at those charges, he was caught 3 times and 2003 for driving under suspension and would later receive a first degree r*p3 charge in 2003 and served 17 years in prison. He was scheduled to appear in court on the Monday that everyone was found inside of the home for soliciting a minor and possession of child po*******hy. The charges were brought upon in 2017 while Jesse was already in prison. My family and I were unaware of Jesse having such a bad history and didn’t sense danger because I had spent weekends with them previously with no issues. The true motive for Jesse Mcfadden’s horrendous crime is unknown but many speculate that it was because of his upcoming sentencing.

I am so sorry that this happened to each of the victims, may they rest peacefully 🕊️.

Hi Guys! New stories and New Series will be available starting today! Thanks for the continuous support.

We are Coty and Sully Simmons and we were taken away at 20 and 33 years old. We are sharing our story today.

Our bond was oh so unbreakable, we as siblings had ups and downs but we would never let that overshadow the love we had for each other. We were true southern girls growing up in New Orleans, Louisiana. My sister Coty was the realist person that I had encountered, as long as I had my Coty I did not need or want any friends. My sister was my teacher, my sister, and my best friend all in one, if I needed to talk about anything Coty was there. Inseparable was an understatement, my sister Coty and I had even started jobs at the same corporation. We did everything together and honestly death was the only thing that could separate us…. Death would do just that.

Life was just beginning for my sister Coty. As a recent graduate from Rabouin High School, my sister wanted to expand on her dreams to be an artist. As a sophomore she was acknowledged and accepted to attend the New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts. This was considered one of the best public schools in our area and my sister was on a great path until we were hit by hurricane Katrina in 2005. Coty temporarily relocated to Georgia and would return to New Orleans to finish out school there. My sister would become pregnant and we were so excited to welcome a new addition to the Simmons family. Coty was planning to give her and her baby the best life that she could have offered but within a blink of an eye her dreams were snatched away.

December 15th 2008, My sister Coty, Myself, and My Boyfriend would be sitting in his car packed in the 4700 block of Galahad Drive in east New Orleans. While my boyfriend and I were having a conversation in the front seat. Coty was tired as she was pregnant at the time and decided that she would lie down on the backseat for a nap. A little after midnight struck a male would emerge from the back of a house that we were parked by and began firing at the car. During the commission of the shooting, Coty would be struck in the back of the head. We transported her to University Hospital where she was placed on life support but later passed away from her injuries. My nephew whom Coty planned to name London Travell or Travell London would also pass away during this incident. She was 19 weeks pregnant at the time of the incident.

I have been continuously fighting for justice for my sister as there hasn’t been a named suspect found. Losing my sister and nephew forever changed my life but I knew that I had to keep pushing and be everything Coty would have wanted me to be. I had grown so much as the 14 years had passed after losing my best friend. I had a son who I named Cody in honor of my sister Coty. Cody and Coty were my purpose and it wasn't a day that went by where I did not think of Coty. It was year 14 and my sister’s 35th birthday. I decided that there was no better way to celebrate than to celebrate year 35 with her. I would go to my sister’s gravesite to honor her memory and birthday. After spending time with my sister, my son Cody and I would prepare to leave the gravesite. As we were leaving a gunman would appear and begin to open fire on my vehicle in the 2700 block of Orleans Avenue while my son was strapped into his car seat in the backseat.

I would unfortunately not make it through this incident but my son Cody would make it through untouched. Just hours after posting to my Facebook asking my sister to continue to watch over me, my nephew, and our family, I would join her to look after them. Although he would not reveal the nature of the incident, my father would say that there was an incident that I was accused of being involved in but the rumors of my involvement were not true. He believes that this led to my tragic demise. It was said that they had been seeking me out to end my life. I was not far from my home when this happened and it left the entire community in shock.

My sister and I were taken away in the same manner 14 years apart. Our family hearts will forever be broken. The day that we celebrated my sister is now a day for our family to celebrate the both of us.

I am so sorry that this happened to you Coty and Sully, may you both rest peacefully 🕊️.

I am Natavia Sanders and I was murdered at only 18 years old. I am sharing my story today.

My birthday was February 15th, a day after Valentine’s Day. My birthday is so close to the day we celebrate love and love…I was full of it…Pink was my favorite color. I was nothing shy of a bubbly teenager loving life and getting ready to start my new life journey as an adult. I was set to graduate high school in a few weeks and I looked forward to what life had to offer. I had the ability to change the energy in a room with my calm, easy going nature, without saying any words people would feel my aura. I was very polite to everyone and respectful, lifting others every chance I got. I attended Strong Vincent middle school where I would excel as a cheerleader and student. I would leave Erie Pennsylvania and move to Tampa Fl with my mother and siblings but just 3 months later my life would take a drastic turn.

On May 11th 2024 I would make a phone call to the police advising that I had been strangled and just waken up from being passed out. Just as I was advising them that my mother was outside my door she would enter and the call would disconnect. The dispatcher would try to get me back on the line but received no answer. They would dispatch authorities to our home. When they arrived both the front and back door were locked. They knocked on the door and my mother Rotesha Silveus would open it for them. They asked her to step outside and her response was for what? Nah but officers would stop her from closing the door and successfully detain her after a brief struggle. Once my mother was detained I was located in my bedroom unresponsive. Officers performed life saving measures until the paramedics arrived. I would live for two days after the incident in a vegetative state and I officially passed away on the 13th of May.

My mother had taken my short life away from me within the blink of an eye in front of my siblings. My future did not exist because of the person who gave me life. A worker in the area reported that my mother was showing signs of strange behavior earlier in the day. She would be standing outside screaming and stated that she was acting as if she would harm herself or someone else. Authorities were later alerted that my mother had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and was not taking her medication for months because she was unable to access it.

Rotesha has since been transferred from jail to a mental institution. It was determined that she is not competent enough to stand trial.

I am so sorry that this happened to you Natavia, may you rest peacefully 🕊️.

I am Zakirrah Anderson and I was taken away at only 23 years old. I am sharing my story today.

My name is Zakirrah but I was better known around my area, St. Paul Minnesota, as Ziggy. My life was wonderful even at times when it may not have been the best, I still smiled and carried on. I was a true kid at heart, life was fun for me and I lived that way everyday. I encouraged others with my aura, they looked up to the way that I had the ability to brighten any room I walked in. TikTok was one of my favorite things to do. I like to show my personality and vlog when I am out with my friends. My family described my heart as pure and the amount of empathy I showed led me into the perfect career. I was a certified nursing assistant, my life revolved around helping others and it came so naturally… even up until the day of my tragic ending.

I was a ride or die for those that I was closest to and on August 14th 2024 I continued to do so. Me and a group of friends would meet with another group at the intersection Larpenteur Avenue East and Dieter Street North for a fight. This followed an altercation that had occurred earlier in the day where we had been shot at. During the altercation I was standing beside a car when 34 year old Ashley Renee Couch would hit me and a friend standing by the car at high speeds throwing my friend in the air and dragging me a far distance away under the car. My injuries were described as catastrophic and autopsies revealed that I suffered severe multi system trauma. I fought to save my life but I would pass away shortly after arriving at Regions Hospital…my friend survived the incident.

It was unknown who had done this to me and my friend until September 9th 2024. Police would receive a call from a concerned citizen identified Ashley Couch as the suspect and stated that she also hid the vehicle that was used in the incident. St.Paul Minnesota Police would locate the vehicle in an alley with what is described as significant damage. The officer in the scene noted that the vehicle was intentionally hidden because the tag had been removed and trash cans were placed in front of it in an effort to conceal it from public view. Ashley initially denied any involvement but the investigators would show a video that captured the hit and run. Ashley would then explain that it was not an intentional act.

Ashley’s criminal record does not convince anyone that this was done without ill intent as she already had multiple violent crime and threat charges. She was charged with one count of 2nd degree murder and one count of second degree assault with a violent weapon. Ashley admitted to having her child with her when she committed this crime.

I am so sorry that this happened to you Zakirrah, may you rest peacefully 🕊️

I am Asia Cowell and I was taken away at only 17 years old I am sharing story today.

I grew up surrounded by a loving family being raised by my aunt and having two loving siblings. My aunt that raised me was my best friend and I was able to go to her for anything. People would describe me as a very warm and inviting person. If you were around me I would always laugh and be happy. Those close to me knew that I was a genuine person. If you were a friend to me you had a friend for life. Doing hair was my passion and I hoped to make my passion my career one day. That dream wasn’t far away as I was a senior at Granby High School in Norfolk Virginia and would be graduating in June 2021.

I started to do hair for locals in my city to build my clientele. I was super excited when I checked my instagram and had a hair inquiry from Crystal Albritton. Since I was building my portfolio I jumped on it right away. We scheduled an appointment for us to meet at Crystal’s apartment on September 7th 2020. Crystal requested a braided hairstyle for her niece. On the day of the appointment my aunt would drop me off and expected to come and get me once I completed the service but the day would go on and my aunt wouldn’t hear from me. Nightfall would come and I had still not reached out to my family. This was out of the ordinary so my family immediately reported that I was a missing person to our local authorities. On the day that I was reported missing I was supposed to celebrate Labor Day with my family but they banned together to search for me instead.

Police would start by speaking to Crystal and she would tell them that she was dissatisfied with my services but still decided to pay and I left her apartment around 2pm on foot. For two weeks my family, friends, and law enforcement would search for me. They asked for anyone who could lend a hand in helping to please do so. They knew that there was something wrong… if my aunt and I discussed me being picked up from the location why would I leave on foot? After all of my family's questions they started to receive answers that would change their life and my life forever.

On September 23rd 2020 Newport News officers will respond to a call in reference to someone being taken away along the woodline behind a strip club in the 16000 block of Warwick Blvd. They were led to the location of where I was taken and discovered. Medical examiners arrived in the scene and I was positively identified. My passing was later ruled as a homicide. My family was devastated and had hoped for a better outcome in this situation. My family and school would hold a candlelight vigil the following day at my high school. They were speaking out to the public in hopes that justice will be served.

Months would go by with no justice for me until December 2nd 2020. Crystal was arrested and charged with first degree hit, abduction by force, use of a firearm in commission of a felony, criminal solicitation, and conspiracy to commit a felony. 18 year old Dazha Feaster would also be arrested in connection with my passing. Dazha was also 17 years old when the incident occurred. She was hit with the same charges as Crystal. One day after Crystal and Dazha arrest Crystal’s husband Devin Albritton was also arrested and charged with first degree hit and conspiracy to commit a felony. This would bring a sense of relief to my family as we they were one step closer to getting me the justice that I deserved but there were still unanswered questions…who are they? And why did they do this?

(‼️ TRIGGER WARNING ‼️)
In May 2020, I would press charges against 20 year old Desean Corum for SA’ing me. I would also detail the event of Desean putting his hands around my neck, throwing me to the ground, and more horrific things. At one point Desean was my boyfriend but that did not stop me from seeking justice. The case would soon go to court and I was set to testify on my own behalf. The pre-trial hearing was set to take place on September 29th 2020. Dazha Feaster was the sister of Desean. Dazha would conspire with Crystal to set up the appointment via instagram and get rid of me to keep me from testifying. During the hair appointment Crystal, Dazha, and Devin would put their plan into play. They would tie me to a barstool, blind fold me and place me into a plastic storage bin. I would be thrown into the back of an SUV and driven 30 miles across the water to the woods in the fourth Eustace area. Devin would stay behind at the apartment. While inside Dazha held a firearm towards me threatening me to keep quiet and not try anything. Once we arrived to the wooded area to order me to walk deeper inside the woods. We would come to a stop as I begged and pleaded for them not to do this to me and promised that I wouldn’t go through with testifying. Crystal instructed Dazha to fire the weapon but she would hesitate. Dazha quickly realized that she could not complete the hit. Crystal could convince Dazha so she took the weapon, told me to turn around, and she pulled the trigger. Once Crystal fired the shot she’d go back to the car. Dazha would ask her if I passed away and Crystal’s response was don’t know, don’t care. Crystal and Dazha would leave the area and head back to Norfolk. Devin would begin to get rid of my items including my cellphone and the weapon to commit the crime. After Devin got rid of all the items he would heartlessly get dressed and attend a cookout.

During the pre-trial on September 29th the charges against Desean were dropped since I was no longer living. After an intense investigation police determined that Desean did not have any direct involvement in the hit that caused my passing. Desean would be cleared of all charges. My family awaited for justice for years but justice was finally received in March 2024. Crystal would plead guilty to all charges and will be sentenced to life in prison plus 3 years in August 2024. Devin would later plead guilty to his charges and he was sentenced to 50 years in prison with 11 years suspended. In addition to prison time Devin received 25 years of uniform good behavior and 5 years of supervised probation. Crystal and Devin apologized to my family and expressed that they were remorseful for what they had done. They would say that they wished that the incident never occurred. There apologies would not change anything for my family. Dazha is set to appear in court for a plea in October 30th 2024.

Asia was brave for standing up for herself. Situations like this is why most victims are afraid to do so. Asia will always be known for her courage to be a voice for victims.

I am so sorry that this happened to you Asia, my you rest peacefully 🕊️

I am Jamani Parker and I was murdered at only 20 years old. I am sharing my story today.

Life had really just begun for me, graduating highschool just two years prior in 2022 and going on to attend Tennessee State University, I was finding my way. I was loved by my family and met many new friends who described me as goofy and happy spirited. People would say I look just like my mother and I protected my little brother like I was his mother. Basketball was my first love and I would play through my school years when I resided in Milwaukee where I grew up. Once I made it to college in Tennessee I faced many struggles like most college students do. Times were hard and I needed a way to provide my needs even if it went against the morals of my family.

I turned to onlyfans and exotic dance… My family knows me as Jamani Parker but at work I was known as Miss Parker and I would build a fan base from Atlanta to Tennessee. This gave me a sense of self and independence that I had not been able to feel before. I had stability that most college students my age doesn’t have due to the lack of support from schools and in some cases family/friends. I was doing what felt like it was right for me to do at that time. My family and enter to protect me from what I thought was just a quick way to make money…not knowing that it would lead to my demise…

On July 13th 2024, Police responded to a call that there was a body found on the Alta Lake Greenway trailhead off Dodson Chapel Road. I was discovered by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with one gunshot wound to the head. I would be transported to the hospital where I would pass away. My passing changed the area…people would report feeling uneasy knowing that my ending had taken place at that location. This was an area where locals frequently visited. One month would go by and my family and friends are still searching for justice. They wanted people to say my name and spread the word so that I could rest peacefully. They would spread lots of positivity so that people would know the real me outside of where I chose to work. I was the one to check on everyone and try to keep them uplifted. I was called to protect and reassure those that meant something to me.

The area where I was found was typically very quiet with very little violence so this would raise questions…who would be willing to harm someone in such an open space? What led her to the area? Those are questions that have yet to be answered… until the police dug deeper and discovered that I was dating 35 year old Lavelle Winton-Jones. Lavelle would immediately become a suspect in my demise. Lavelle was 15 years older than me. I was groomed into believing that he would be different and more mature. I thought he loved me and I would talk about him often on my social media pages…the last post made to my page was a post about him.

Although I kept my relationship private, I knew that the lifestyle I was living could cause a man that’s not secure within themselves to go into a rage. It is still unclear to the public why this was done to me but that didn’t stop the police from going after my boyfriend, the prime suspect in the case. Lavelle would be arrested on unrelated charges for two months before they will officially charge him with murder. He was served with a first degree murder indictment on September 26th 2024.

I am sorry that this happened to you Jamani, May you rest peacefully 🕊️.

Hi Readers! Checking to make sure you all are safe from Hurricane Helene… my area was hit pretty bad.

Have you guys seen the update on Young Dolph’s murder trial? According to sources Cornelius Smith along with Justin Johnson knew that dolph had arrived to Memphis to do his annual turkey giveaway. After stalking down dolphs car they would follow him to Makeda’s Cookies and take his life while he was placing an order. It has been revealed that second in command of the CMG music label Big Jook had placed a 100,000 dollar hit for anyone who could take the life of Young Dolph. After the murder, Justin Johnson would FaceTime Big Jook to give a signal that the hit had been done. Big Jook is the brother of Yo Gotti who is the CEO of CMG. Yo Gotti and Young Dolph had an ongoing rivalry over who was the true king of Memphis as both of them were putting on for their city strongly during the same years. The rivalry became deadly and there were numerous attempts on Young Dolph’s life, including someone firing 100 shots at him. Dolph would then make all of his cars bullet proof and create a song aimed at the attempts on his life which caused the rivalry to continue. Dolph murder suspects were caught a short time after the murder thanks to people noticing Justin Johnson who is a local rapper that wanted to sign with CMG badly and hoped that this would prove his loyalty… only for them to be scammed by Big Jook. They were not paid 50,000 dollars each like they were told they would be. Johnson would deliver smith a letter telling him to develop a good story if they got caught up and $800 cash because Jook said it was “too hot” to give them the money right away. After Smith was in custody, $50,000 was given to a lawyer to represent Smith. There was a man by the name of Hernandez Govan who recruits for CMG and also supplied smith drugs. He would be the one who directed them to Big Jook in regard to the hit. Johnson and Smith agreed to give him $10,000 each for setting things into play. It was revealed that Johnson and Smith had both been shot by Dolph’s brother who was inside of the cookie shop with him. January 2024, Big Jook would be gunned down after leaving a funeral and will not be able to be held accountable for his involvement. Justin, Cornelius, Hernandez, and Justin’s brother (charged with accessory after the fact) are all being tried for the case. The story is on going and will be updated as new information is released.

I am Latasha Hymond and I was murdered at only 39 years old. I am sharing my story today.

In Fort Worth Texas, I had established a name for myself as a successful Makeup Artist owning my own salon named Slay by Shae. With over 1,000 clients, I catered to them each with love and shared a special bond with them. I was most known for my loving spirit and ambition, people would love to be around me because of the positive energy that I carried. My MUA skills only partially showed how creative I was as a person. I was also very creative when it came to my sense of fashion and decorating. Above all, my son was my number one priority. I devoted all my love to him. Our bond was unbreakable and I would share as many of our moments as I could. To add to the love that I had for my son was my amazing fiance. We had finally completed our family and couldn’t be more happier. My friends and family loved me, my businesses were successful, and I would soon be married….There was nothing more that I could ask for.

I was so excited to enjoy my family on the day that we celebrate our American independence, the 4th of July. As everyone knows, things are bigger in Texas and we decided to celebrate our day in that style. From fireworks to good food and laughs, we would make great memories each year. I was enjoying myself so much that I decided to share with my facebook community by making a live video. There were more than 200 people in attendance through multiple blocks of Castleman street and as we know large crowds often bring large problems. Things were going so well in the beginning but as the crowd grew trouble would brew. I would even catch some of the incidents in my live videos that I posted to facebook. One would include someone throwing a firework just feet away from a police car as they were trying to shut the event down. The streets became blocked with police cars and it forced us to stand until we were able to get into our vehicle and exit the street. The police presence would cause things to escalate as people continued to defy the orders that were given. Although there were a good number of police present, they were still outnumbered by the large crowd and could not gain control. After attempting to gain control to no avail, the police would leave the scene… This decision would lead to a fatal tragedy.

In the midst of the block party, neighbors would grow annoyed with the commotion and gun fire would ring out. I would go into my in-laws home to use the restroom and would exit in the midst of them firing off rounds. Most of us would think that it was fireworks… until people were seen falling from being struck. I would try and run back inside but I was unfortunately among those who were struck by the gunfire. After everyone realized that this was more than just fireworks people would begin to clear the streets. Police and ambulance would arrive on the scene where at least two other victims and I would be transported to the local hospital…ending in an unfortunate outcome, I would tragically pass away due to multiple gunshot wounds. A night of celebrating at my in-laws home changed our family forever. My Fiance would express his hurt as this was the second time that he had lost the love of his life. I had helped my fiance through losing his first fiancee to cancer four years ago… and now he is faced with losing me also.

A 26 year old male by the name of Marcus Martin Jr from San Diego California would also pass away due to a medical emergency.
Witnesses would say that gun fire is nothing new on castleman street but it does not typically happen at their 4th of July block parties.

A suspect has been arrested and is being charged with both of the Castleman 4th of July murders. 21 year old Toderick Rogers has been taken into custody and has been in custody since two weeks after the incident.

I am so sorry to the families of the victims, may you both rest peacefully 🕊️.
