Speaker 1: Hunting for Answers is a production of the Black Effect
Speaker 1: Podcast Network and iHeartRadio. Welcome to Hunting for Answers, a
Speaker 1: true crime podcast. I'm your host Hunter and today's case
Speaker 1: takes us to Atlanta, Georgia, where a story of heartbreak, resilience,
Speaker 1: and devastating loss unfolded. This case surrounds a mother, an activist,
Speaker 1: and a voice for justice. What began as a missing
Speaker 1: this person's report would soon unravel into something far more chilling.
Speaker 2: This is the story of Chanel Crosby.
Speaker 1: July fourteenth, twenty twenty four, thirty five year old Chanel
Speaker 1: was reported missing by her family. They hadn't heard from
Speaker 1: her since she loved for a trip to make in
Speaker 1: Georgia with her boyfriend. Five days later, on July nineteenth,
Speaker 1: police respec to a disturbing call an unresponsive person found
Speaker 1: in a parked vehicle near the West End Morti station. Inside,
Speaker 1: they discovered Chanelle's body. She was no longer alert, no
Speaker 1: longer breathing, and according to a Fulton County Medical Examiners report,
Speaker 1: her body showed signs of decomposition. She had been dead
Speaker 1: for days, and the cause of death a single gunshot
Speaker 1: wound to the head. Her death was ruled a homicide.
Speaker 1: For many, this news was shocking. For those who knew Chanel,
Speaker 1: it was devastating. For many, this news was shocking. For
Speaker 1: those who knew Chanel, it was devastating. But for those
Speaker 1: who really knew her story, it was painfully familiar because
Speaker 1: Chanel had lived through the unimagina. In September twenty twenty two,
Speaker 1: her thirteen year old son, Jamieron Cosby, was shot and
Speaker 1: killed just minutes away from their home in Lifetonia, Georgia.
Speaker 1: Jamieran was a straight A student, a rising football star,
Speaker 1: and his death shattered her world. Earlier that same year,
Speaker 1: in April, Janelle's brother, Harrio Polo Giosh was also found
Speaker 1: fatally shot inside an apartment building on Martin Luther King
Speaker 1: Drive in Atlanta, just after winning four thousand dollars at
Speaker 1: a slot machine. Noah rests were made in either case,
Speaker 1: and now Janelle was gone too.
Speaker 2: But Chanelle didn't just grieve. She fought.
Speaker 1: In the months after her son's seth she started a
Speaker 1: family foundation focused on gun violence, police brutality, and munity service.
Speaker 1: She marched, organized, and spoke out relentlessly demanding justice for
Speaker 1: her son.
Speaker 2: There are people out there who know.
Speaker 1: What happened, she said, refusing to let her son's memory
Speaker 1: fade away. Was this a targeted act of violence against
Speaker 1: her or something darker? Her boyfriend was the last known
Speaker 1: person to see her alive. Authorities have not named any suspects,
Speaker 1: and no arrests have been made, and so far there
Speaker 1: are no updates from the inn A Police department on
Speaker 1: the progress of the investigation. Her death, like her sons
Speaker 1: and her brothers, remains frouded in mystery. Three lives, three shootings,
Speaker 1: no justice.
Speaker 2: The pain felt by Chanelle's family is a measureable.
Speaker 1: I can imagine her community still really and the silence
Speaker 1: from investigators.
Speaker 2: Only deepens the woman who killed Chanelle Crosby? Why? And
Speaker 2: will anyone ever be held accountable?
Speaker 1: As of now, Chanelle's case remains unsolved. My thoughts and
Speaker 1: prayers go out to Chanelle's Stanley and friends. I hope
Speaker 1: one day they're able to receive the closure that they deserve.
Speaker 1: Janelle's story isn't just a heartbreaking tragedy, but it's a
Speaker 1: glaring reminder of the devastating impacts of gun.
Speaker 2: Violence in our communities.
