The podcast introduces the case of Rilya Wilson, a four-year-old who disappeared while in foster care in Miami, Florida, leading to significant changes in the Florida foster care system.

Shownotes Transcript

In 2000, 4-year-old Rilya Wilson was living with her sister and foster parents, Pamela Graham and Geralyn Graham, in the Miami, Florida area. During this time, Rilya was still under the care of The Florida Department of Children and Families.

In April 2002, a new caseworker was assigned to oversee her care, but when they visited the home, her foster parents claimed that DCF had removed Rilya from their custody nearly two years prior. Unable to locate any record of this, Rilya was reported missing.

However, it wasn’t long before the truth about the Grahams and DCF came to light, exposing the many failures in Rilya’s case.

If you have any information about Rilya Wilson, contact the Florida Department of Law Enforcement at (850) 410-8161.
