  • February 11, 2013

Tameka Anderson/Larry Stackhouse Jr. is the sixth episode of season 2 of the show Find Our Missing. The episode puts the spotlight on two separate cases that deal with young African American adults who have gone missing under mysterious circumstances.

The first case deals with Tameka Anderson, a 25-year-old young woman who goes missing in January 2010. Tameka had just moved to Atlanta, Georgia to attend school and was excited about her new life ahead. Her mother, Angela takes us on a journey to illustrate Tameka's character and her positive outlook on life. Tameka was always goal-oriented, and her mother knew that if Tameka had planned something, she would have always followed through. But when Tameka stopped responding to phone calls and messages, Angela knew something was off. Tameka was last seen leaving a club in downtown Atlanta in the early hours of January 2, 2010. Her family had no reason to think that Tameka would have run off on her own or committed suicide. The police begin to investigate her case, and the family bounces between hope and despair as each lead brings up more questions than answers.

The second case deals with Larry Stackhouse Jr., a 19-year-old who vanished in September 2010. Larry was a popular basketball player and promising college student, but he also had a secret life that his mother, LaChelle, was not aware of. Larry had been addicted to heroin and had gotten into some trouble with the law in the past. On the day of his disappearance, LaChelle saw Larry for the last time when she dropped him off at a friend's house. After that, Larry was never seen again. LaChelle begins to investigate Larry's case on her own, talking to his friends and acquaintances, many of whom had seen or heard about the dangerous situations Larry had gotten himself into.

The families of Tameka and Larry both express frustration with the lack of attention that their cases have received from law enforcement. They both feel that the police did not take their cases seriously enough and that more could have been done to find their loved ones. The episode takes us on a journey as the family members search for answers on their own and try to piece together what could have happened. We see the difficulties that the families face being both black and having a loved one go missing. The families encounter a lack of resources, bias from law enforcement, and the struggle to keep hope alive.

We see the efforts of the private investigators and volunteers who have dedicated themselves to finding missing people of color. They use social media and other online platforms to spread the word about missing persons and create a community of support. They also offer their services to family members who cannot afford the exorbitant fees of private detectives.

Tameka Anderson/Larry Stackhouse Jr is an emotional episode that explores the anguish and pain that families of missing persons face. We see the resilience of the families as they continue to search for answers. The episode also sheds light on the need for better resources dedicated to searching for missing people of color and the necessity of taking these cases seriously.

Overall, Tameka Anderson/Larry Stackhouse Jr is a heart-wrenching episode that emphasizes the importance of spreading awareness about missing people of color and the need to provide better resources to families searching for their loved ones.
