In a gripping episode of the “Black Girl Gone” podcast, the heart-wrenching stories of two missing mothers, Calandra Stallworth and Ebony Giddens, are brought to light, igniting urgent calls for public assistance in uncovering their fates. Calandra, 28, vanished on March 27, 2017, in Crestview, Florida, after dropping her daughters off at her grandmother’s house and heading to work. Despite promising her family she was on her way home, she never arrived. A week later, her car was discovered with her boyfriend, Antoine Smith, behind the wheel, but Calandra was nowhere to be found. Six years later, her family remains haunted by unanswered questions.
Ebony, 27, disappeared from Columbus, Georgia, on March 11, 2018, after a family gathering. When her brother arrived the next morning to pick up her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren, he found her missing, with no trace of her whereabouts. Her boyfriend, Malcolm Jackson, who had a history of violence against her, was arrested shortly after her disappearance but has not been charged in connection with her case. Five years later, Ebony’s family is left in anguish, desperate for closure while raising her three sons, who were left to wake up without their mother.
Both mothers are victims of a devastating silence that shrouds their cases, raising urgent questions about their disappearances. Calandra’s case remains cold, with police citing a lack of evidence despite her boyfriend’s troubling history. Meanwhile, Ebony’s family believes her boyfriend is involved but has yet to see justice served.
The urgency for information is palpable. Both families are pleading for anyone with knowledge about the women’s fates to come forward. As time slips away, the need for public awareness intensifies. Calandra Stallworth and Ebony Giddens deserve to be found, and their 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren deserve answers.
