Mom’s Instincts Kick In After Meeting A Stranger, And Then She Follows Her Gut And Stops A Crime
Never underestimate a mother with a hunch! At least, not this one. Shyann Delmar — or “Shy” — from Indianapolis figured something was wrong when she recognized an individual she’d given a ride to just a day earlier. Turned out she was right to be suspicious. She’d clocked the identity of Nalah Jackson, a person of interest wanted by authorities regarding a high profile crime.
A compelling case
In December 2022 a compelling true crime story of two missing babies, two determined cousins, and two different police forces unfolded. Nalah Jackson had managed to avoid detection for a little while, but it was only a matter of time before she drew attention to herself. But it wasn’t a clear cut situation. When the cops came, they were allegedly not on the ball.
Cousins turned detectives
In fact, it fell to Shy and her cousin Mecka Curry to do the legwork of tracking down Nalah Jackson in the first place. These detectives may have been amateurs, yet the effort they put in has been commended. Commentators wonder why they needed to step up in the first place. Couldn’t the police have handled this stuff? We’ll go into all that shortly.
A social media storm
The narrative of how Nalah Jackson was arrested is interesting enough in itself, but there’s more to the set-up than that. You see, once Shy and Mecka got their woman, they faced a backlash online. Accusations flew that they were in on the deal. Luckily, in this age of social media, the cousins had the option of telling their side of the story.
Setting the record straight
How did they do that? On TikTok! In an extraordinary series of posts, the headline-grabbing crime hunters set the record straight in their own way. It’s a wild ride, as the pair excitedly describe the exact sequence of events. Because the videos are made in a busy family home, there are also interruptions, many of which come from their own children!
