Family Seeks Answers After Maryland Woman Found Deceased in Abandoned Cleveland Home
The family of Reyna Dunlap is seeking answers after she was found deceased in an abandoned home in Cleveland, Ohio. Her mother, Karen Lesley Walker, is pleading for information, stating that her daughter did not have a known history of drug use and was originally from Maryland.
According to Walker, she has no information on where her daughter was staying in the months of November and December, nor any understanding of why she was in Cleveland at the time of her death.
Dunlap’s personal belongings, including her phone, wallet, and identification, were missing from the scene, leaving her family desperate for answers.
In an emotional appeal, Walker expressed her heartbreak and urged the public for assistance. “My daughter was found alone with no phone or personal items. I have no idea why she was in Cleveland or where she had been staying. Please, if anyone has any information, I need your help,” she stated.
Carmen L. Golden-Walker, a family member, also called for support, requesting prayers and assistance in sharing Dunlap’s story. “My heart is broken. I’m asking all my prayer warriors to uplift our family with hope, peace, and strength as my sister-in-love searches for answers about the unexpected loss of her daughter, my niece, Reyna Dunlap,” Golden-Walker wrote. “She was full of life and had so much ahead of her. We are seeking any information that could help us understand what happened.”
Dunlap, a native of the Washington, D.C./Maryland area, was found without identification or any means of communication, further deepening the mystery surrounding her death.
Her family is asking anyone with information or connections in the Cleveland area to come forward and help shed light on the circumstances that led to this tragic discovery.
“We are grateful for any assistance during this devastating time,” the family stated.
Anyone with information related to Reyna Dunlap’s whereabouts prior to her passing, or any details regarding the discovery of her body, is urged to contact local authorities or reach out to the family directly.

Two Children, Ages 9 and 10, Charged in Brutal Assault and Attempted Murder of 5-Year-Old A’Marie Jones in Cleveland
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Two children, ages 9 and 10, have been formally charged in connection with the brutal assault and attempted murder of a 5-year-old girl A’marie Jones in Cleveland last month, according to the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office.
Prosecutors confirmed that the 9-year-old boy and 10-year-old girl are facing serious felony charges, including attempted murder, rape, felonious assault, kidnapping, and strangulation.
Because of their ages, both suspects are being charged as juveniles.
The alleged attack occurred on September 13 in a field near East 148th Street and St. Clair Avenue, where investigators say the young victim was discovered severely injured.
The child’s mother, Antavia Kennibrew, previously told that her daughter suffered catastrophic injuries, describing the scene as “unbelievable.” Kennibrew said she had dropped her daughter off at a relative’s home near East 145th Street and St. Clair Avenue that day.
At some point, the 5-year-old reportedly wandered out of the house alone before being attacked.
“When I saw her, she was unrecognizable,” Kennibrew said. “Her hair was scalped from her head. She had bruises and blood all over her body. Her eyes were filled with blood, her lips and mouth were swollen and bleeding, and her nails were filled with dirt and debris.”
First responders rushed the child to the hospital for emergency treatment. Officials say she continues to recover but has suffered severe physical, emotional, and psychological trauma. She is now undergoing ongoing therapy and counseling.
Due to the extreme sensitivity of the case and the involvement of minors, the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office has declined to release further details, citing the ongoing investigation and the need to protect the victim’s privacy.
“The investigation remains active,” prosecutors said, noting that authorities are still reviewing evidence and gathering additional information.
Kennibrew says her focus now is on helping her daughter heal:
“I just want her to be able to live like a normal 5-year-old again.”
Cleveland police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the assault.
