Police in 2008 revisited the then-5-year-old missing person’s case of Wanda Dawson Rogers-Campbell and came up with few leads and a complainant they could not reach. “It’s our duty to follow up,” said Detective Kevin Brown of the Baltimore Police department. “But after that, the case became stagnant.”

Though it has now been eight years since Rogers-Campbell’s disappearance, Brown said Tuesday that “the [FBI] investigation continues.”

Rogers-Campbell — also known by the alias “Diamond Raheem” — was reported missing on April 19, 2003, the last day she was seen by the family member or friend, police said.

Driving a green Pontiac Grand Prix with a temporary Ohio tag D224055, police said Rogers-Campbell left to meet an unknown acquaintance in Baltimore. Police later found her abandoned car.

Rogers-Campbell would now be 40. When she disappeared a week shy of turning 32, police said, she was 5-foot-5 inches tall and weighed 105 pounds.

Police said the complainant last saw Rogers-Campbell wearing black jeans, black-and-red Nike tennis shoes and a black and red windbreaker. She has a tattoo of a unicorn on the left side of her chest, as well as the letters “TT” tattooed on the inside of her left forearm and a heart on the back of one of her hands.
