Original Story:
One thing that many of these missing cases reveal is that those we love don't always have our best interests in mind. Too often, women enter into relationships believing that their partners will stand by them, love them, and protect them, not knowing the person to whom they've opened their hearts is the very predator they need protection from. Such was the case with Camisha Hollis.

Omaha, Nebraska, police were alerted in April 2018 after Martha Hollis found her three grandchildren — aged 10, 8, and 6 years old — home alone. Martha was visiting her daughter, 34-year-old Camisha Hollis, and her daughter's longtime live-in boyfriend, 36-year-old Marvin Young. It was a place that Martha claimed to have avoided because of the negative energy she felt there. When Martha arrived at the residence and saw that the three young girls were without supervision, she asked them where their parents were. She wasn't prepared for the answer.
