    Barnwell, South Carolina—When Maylashia Hogg disappeared in February 2024, she was only 17 years old and just days away from meeting her baby girl. Her family desperately searched for answers. Instead of preparing for the birth of her daughter, Londyn Charity, they were forced to face an unimaginable tragedy. Maylashia and her unborn child were found murdered, leaving a family and community devastated.

More than anything, it is the story of a young mother whose future—and her baby's future—was stolen before either had the chance to begin.
