In July 2015, 18 year old Alesha Bell disappeared from Warren, OH. Almost a month after Alesha went missing her body was found in a fire pit at the home of a man named James Brooks. A month and half before Alesha was reported missing, 22 year old Jasmaine Smith also disappeared after spending time with family in Pennsylvania. Both Alesha and Jasmaine knew James Brooks, and Jasmaine's family believes he is involved in her disappearance. SUPPORT OUR SHOW!
