214: Alonzo Brooks

On April 3rd, 2004, 23-year-old Alonzo Brooks left his home in Gardner, Kansas, and told his mother, Maria, he was headed to a party with friends. That was the last time she'd see her son alive. Less than 24 hours later, Maria tried to file a missing persons report on her son in La Cygne, Kansas, about an hour away from their home. Alonzo's friends who'd given him a ride to the party somehow left without him, at a party in a small town, where he was one of only three people of color in attendance. 27 days after Alonzo went missing, his family found his body on a creekbed, not far from the farmhouse where the party had been. Strangely enough, his body wasn't hidden, and the area had been searched multiple times before, with no signs of Alonzo. His manner of death was initially ruled as "undetermined" and closed by the KBI, stating there was no evidence of a homicide. Alonzo's family has continued to fight to prove that he was the victim of a hate crime and that his murderers are still walking free.
