A Georgia woman reportedly stormed out of her house four years ago following an argument with her boyfriend, and no one has seen her since.
According to WXIA, on Friday, May 27, 2011, she had an argument with her boyfriend after discovering texts from another woman on his phone. She stormed out to prove her point and then disappeared.
Athena Joy Curry had a young son with her on-again off-again boyfriend, Yusef Mujahid, named King Kare. Family members say that she adored her son and would have taken him with her if she meant to leave permanently.
Watch a full report on the missing woman below:
“She would never leave her son. This is her pride and joy. She has never left him, ever,” her sister, Aisha Magee told WXIA.
Magee said that she was concerned about Curry’s relationship with Mujahid, especially after Mujahid was arrested in 2010 for hitting Curry.
Magee said that her last phone conversation with her sister was about Mujahid.
“She just said ‘hey’ and I said ‘how are you doing?’ My words to her: ‘I am calling to make sure Yusef didn’t put you in a grave somewhere,'” she said. “Those are my words — they’ll haunt me. It’s been four years.”
Mujahid said that “anything could’ve happened” after that night, noting that Curry did not have a car and stormed out of the house at 3 a.m. on foot.
“This is abnormal, you know,” he said. “From day one, I knew something was up, you know, and I still feel that way.”
Still, he did not tell anyone she was gone until five days later, and that has Curry’s family suspicious.
“If she was gonna storm out because she had a point to prove or she was angry, she was gonna take her son. That was gonna be her point to prove,” Magee said. “And so when he said that and it had been five days, I was like, dude, no way in the world. And that’s when I really was like, something was wrong.”
As for King, he is now 5 years old and has spent yet another Mother’s Day without his mother. For King’s sake, Magee has one plea:
If anybody knows anything, anything, even if you think it’s insignificant, please give the detectives a call just to have peace. Nobody wants to hold bitterness in their heart. And for your sense of peace, as well as my family’s, please come forward and let us know what happened.
