Monica Hesse, a young reporter, once covered the story of Unique Harris, a 24-year-old single mom who disappeared from her DC apartment in 2010. Despite the absence of a body, a recent breakthrough led to the conviction of a suspect for her murder. Hesse, in her article for the Washington Post, reflects on how the mystery of Harris’ disappearance affected her family and intrigued many, including herself. Speculations about Harris’ whereabouts ranged from her starting a new life elsewhere to tips suggesting she was living in Georgia or Michigan. Hesse’s personal theory proposed that Harris may have gone outside for a smoke and gotten abducted.
In late 2020, Isaac Moye was arrested for his involvement in Harris’ disappearance. He was linked to her through DNA evidence found on her sofa and GPS records from his ankle monitor. Hesse and others had hypothesized that Harris’ vanishing was the result of unusual circumstances. However, authorities revealed that Moye had an unrequited crush on Harris, leading Hesse to a surprising realization: “Unique was surrounded by possible dangers. Not because of weird, singular circumstances, but because of common ones.” Hesse outlines these dangers, including financial difficulties due to the lack of child support from the children’s father and Harris’ involvement with multiple abusive men. She emphasizes that while “true crime” often focuses on extraordinary cases, true crimes like Harris’ are unfortunately ordinary and common. Moye, 46, was convicted in June and could face up to 40 years in prison. You can find more details from Hesse’s article here. (Read more Longform stories.)
