Who did this?
HER FOOT WAS FOUND IN A RETENTION POND — WHERE IS NAJAH FERRELL?
THE DISAPPEARANCE & DEATH OF NAJAH FERRELL
Avon, Indiana — March 15, 2019
Najah Ferrell was 30 years old, a mother, a daughter, and a woman excited for a fresh start. She had just landed a new job at Panera Bread and was supposed to start orientation that morning. But she never arrived.
She was last seen at her home near County Road 100 South and Dan Jones Road in Avon in the early morning hours of March 15, 2019. Later that day, when she didn’t pick her sons up from school, her family knew something was wrong.
Her 2018 Nissan Altima was discovered abandoned at a shopping center near Panera Bread. Personal items belonging to Najah were later found scattered along I-465 and Lafayette Road in Indianapolis.
Then came the grim discovery.
In April 2019, a fisherman found Najah’s foot in a retention pond in Crown Point, Indiana — more than 150 miles from her home. No other remains have ever been recovered. No suspects have ever been identified. The case remains open, cold, and painfully silent.
Najah didn’t disappear on her own. Someone knows what happened. Her children deserved their mother. Her family deserved answers. Najah deserved to make it home.
What happened to Najah after she left her home that morning?
Who abandoned her car and scattered her belongings across the interstate?
And how did part of her body end up two hours away from Avon?
