In honor of Black History Month I’m profiling one African-American MP every day on this blog for the month of February. Today’s case is Olynthia Ann Harper, a 25-year-old woman who disappeared from Syracuse, New York on September 20, 1985.
That evening, she left her two kids with a babysitter. I’m assuming the kids were supposed to spend the night there, since it was eleven p.m. when she dropped them off. She never returned for them and there’s been no indication of her whereabouts since.
I haven’t been able to find any articles on the case and don’t know much about it, alas.

I came across her case. I found that her son Morrice Harper was raised by his grandmothers. He was shot several times and time for drugs. He was 18 months old, when his mother disappeared. He supposedly is living in North Csrolina, with his sister.
