The family of Elaysha Gilliam, a 26-year-old pregnant woman found dead at a park in Kansas City, seeks answers from police. Gilliam was expecting her fifth child.
The Kansas City Police confirmed that the discovery of Gilliam occurred on Feb. 19, located in a field near Dunbar Park. Pronounced dead by emergency personnel on the scene, Gilliam had multiple gunshot wounds present on her body, per NBC News. However, since finding her remains, the investigation into her death lagged.
Gilliam’s family told news outlets that police have provided little information into what happened thus far. Clydetta Gilliam shared that the police are “dragging their feet” in uncovering who may have killed her step-daughter.
“I want closure, we need answers,” expressed the stepmother. “The police are dragging their feet, but I need to go out here and solve the case myself. They aren’t giving us anything.”
