In our latest episode, we spotlight three Las Vegas teenagers who vanished between 2022 and 2023. Their cases share a heartbreaking thread—they’re short on details, light on updates, and each represents a family still waiting for answers.
Fajar Chaudhry was 15 years old when she was last seen on March 31, 2023, in Las Vegas. She’s listed as Native American/Alaska Native, with black hair and brown eyes, and was described as 5’2” and 130 lbs at the time. Today, she would be 17. Reports indicate she may have run away from home, but that doesn’t make her disappearance any less urgent. More at sinspod.co/fajar.
Joshua Tolbert disappeared on February 9, 2023, from his home near Bonanza and Bruce in North Las Vegas. He was 13 when he went missing and would now be 15 years old. He’s described as African American, 5’7”, and 171 lbs, with brown hair and brown eyes. Like many others in his age group, his case is listed as a runaway, but there’s been no public update or confirmation of his whereabouts since that night. More at sinspod.co/joshua.
Goldie Williams was 15 when he went missing on October 12, 2022, in Las Vegas. He would now be 18 years old. He’s described as African American, 6’3”, and 160 lbs, with brown hair. There is no publicly available photo on either the LVMPD missing person site or NamUs, which makes sharing his story all the more important. More at sinspod.co/goldie.
