In New York 2008, a 30-year-old woman, her baby, and her friend disappeared while on a trip.
The streets of New York City, always bustling with life, were struck by a baffling mystery in 2008. Sasha Davis, her infant daughter Selah, and friend Jarib “Griff” Bennett vanished during a road trip to New York, leaving behind more questions than answers.
Thirty-year-old Sasha, her three-month-old daughter Selah, and 27-year-old Jarib planned a short trip from New York City to Rochester, New York, on February 15, 2008. The plan was to return after four days. Sasha, a mother of another daughter who stayed back in NYC, embarked on this journey with Jarib, a New Jersey resident with a wife and two daughters. The purpose of their trip has remained a topic of speculation and mystery.
The rental car used for the journey was later found abandoned on Genessee Street near Genesee Valley Park in southwest Rochester. This discovery, made on February 27, provided no significant clues about the whereabouts of Sasha, Selah, and Jarib. The trio seemed to have vanished without a trace, leaving behind an eerie silence and a myriad of unanswered questions.
Adding to the perplexity, in March 2009, the New York State Missing and Exploited Children Clearinghouse’s annual report suggested that Sasha and Jarib might have been traveling to collect a large sum of money. This information only deepened the intrigue surrounding their disappearance. Later, in 2017, internet sleuths found an obituary for a “Jarib Bennett” with matching details, but the connection to this case remained unconfirmed.
Over the years, the case has become a focal point for true crime enthusiasts and internet detectives, leading to various theories and speculations. The nature of Sasha and Jarib’s relationship, their intentions, and the circumstances surrounding their disappearance continue to be subjects of discussion and conjecture.
Sasha, at the time of her disappearance, was between 5 feet 5 inches and 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing around 120 pounds. Known for her black or dark brown hair, brown eyes, a mole near her right eye, and tattoos on her left breast and right calf, Sasha’s disappearance remains a profound mystery. She would be 40 years old as of this publication, and her daughter Selah would be approximately 15.
