Randa Jawhari
The Crime
On February 11, 2009, Randa Jawhari was reported missing from her apartment on Shiawassee Ave. in Fenton, MI. She had called her sister at 11:30pm the night before, but no one had heard from her since. Sometime between 11:30pm on the 10th and 7:30am on the 11th, Randa disappeared. She was thought to be wearing only a blue bathrobe that was missing the tie.
The Victim
Randa Jawhari was born in Lebanon, moving to Holly, MI as a child. She later spent time in Florida, Hawaii, and Nevada, then moved back to Michigan to be by her family in Fenton. She was a talented actress, artist, and writer. Randa enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her daughter. Despite health conditions, she was described as peaceful. Siblings remember her free spirited personality and kindness, claiming that she would give her last dollar to anyone without hesitation.
The Cold Case
For the past 15 years, detectives have been working continuously to find Randa, but a lack of evidence has resulted in many dead ends. There were no signs of foul play and no clues as to where she could have gone. She did not have a driver鈥檚 license, car, or credit card. Her apartment complex had only one security camera, but the quality of the surveillance footage is poor and does not show a clear view of her apartment door. The Fenton Police Department is working with the FBI in trying to improve the visuals from this footage to identify vehicles passing through the parking lot. Forensic analysis and K9 searches have also not been able to provide any information on what happened that night.

Through their work, these students were able to meet and speak with members of Randa鈥檚 family, furthering their dedication to solving this case and providing closure.
