    Tamika Huston | Family Matters

    Tamika Huston | Family Matters

    In 2004, the true crime community was captivated by two high-profile missing persons cases - one that became an international sensation, and another that flew largely under the radar.
    Meanwhile, in South Carolina, another young woman named Tamika Huston, age 24, went missing that same year. Despite pleas from her family and friends, Tamika's case received far less national attention than Natalee's.It would be over a year before her former boyfriend confessed to killing her and led authorities to her remains
    The stark contrast in how these two cases were covered highlights the systemic biases that can exist in how the media and public perceive and respond to missing persons cases. Tamika's story, though equally tragic, was largely overshadowed by the Natalee Holloway saga. Join us as we delve deeper into what happened to Tamika Huston - a case you should have known about in 2004.
    That year, the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, an 18-year-old American high school student who vanished during a graduation trip to Aruba, made headlines worldwide.1016 Her case sparked intense media scrutiny and sparked discussions around "missing white woman syndrome" - the tendency for missing persons cases involving white women to receive disproportionate attention compared to cases involving women of color.
