welcome to it's a crime i'm linda and today we're going to be talking about a 19 year old woman from
sacramento california who's been missing since october 17th and hasn't been seen or heard from
since but before i get into it if you'd like to be part of the it's a crime community please click
that subscribe button below hit that notification bell to all also give it a like and it only takes
two seconds to share this video please share it out where you can now let's get into it
this is veda or veda belford she is 19 years old 5'4 and weighs approximately 215 pounds
she has black hair and brown eyes when she was last seen she was wearing a brownish-orange
striped flannel shirt denim pants and a small crossbody bag she was also wearing a rainbow ring
she lives at home with her mom and her dad and two of her sisters let's get into the timeline
on saturday october 17th vader's dad drove her to home depot where she works and dropped her off her
shift started at 2 pm that day on saturday night veda's mom drove to the home depot to pick her up
her shift ended at around 11 30 pm only veda didn't come out now veda's sister easter
told dateline my mother had texted and said she was waiting in the car outside she waited for a
little bit but when my sister still hadn't come out for a few minutes before midnight
she went to find out so her mom found out that earlier in the day vera was actually
laid off from her job at home depot and she had not been seen since mid afternoon veda's
sister says what we don't understand is why she didn't call someone for a ride she just walked
out of the parking lot and that was it we don't know where she would go or who she would meet
it doesn't make sense and there is surveillance camera footage that shows veda walking through
the home depot parking lot at around 3 45 pm almost two hours after her shift began now it's
not clear what time veda was actually laid off it would be interesting to know if she was laid
off as soon as she got into work or if it was right before she was walking in the parking lot
she was reportedly heading in the direction of applebee's and the att store going east
and when i look at that area it's quite a big commercial area and likely with a lot of cameras
now veda's mother filed a missing person's report to the sacramento police department just after
midnight on october 18th while family members and friends drove around the area looking for
her fetta's sister easter said that her sister had a cell phone with her along with the phone charger
but when family members attempted to call her that night and the days after her phone was turned off
and her sister says she always has her charger with her in case she needs to charge her phone
for her phone to be off it's just strange and easter talked to dateline and said they are
tight-knit family who spend most of their time together whether they are at home or at church
and she also said that her home is a loving environment and she doesn't see any reason why her
sister would leave on her own and as i mentioned earlier veda lives at home with her parents and
two of her sisters she is a full-time student at sacramento state where she's majoring in business
management she spends a lot of time at her church as a youth leader and her sister again says she's
very involved in church and loves her role with the youth we don't believe she would just leave
we're just very worried about her her family said it was unusual for her to go off the radar for so
long without contacting them and again easter says hopefully someone has seen her and contacts us
any information would help we just need to know that our sister is okay and her sisters also have
posted a montage of vedas photos and her info on various social media accounts including tick
tock and online missing person groups specific to their samoan polynesian heritage and anyone who
might have information about veda's whereabouts is asked to call the sacramento police department at
five four seven 916-808-5471 and i will have that also in the description below so all around
this is really strange veda goes into work she gets laid off she's seen almost two hours later
walking in the parking lot of the home depot walking east so i'm curious did she get laid
off right when she walks in typically when people do they don't really work for very long
if at all when they come in and then they usually offer the news so i am curious and if she did get
laid off right when she walked in what did she do in that two hour time span i know it's upsetting
to be laid off i've experienced that before and so maybe she just went for a walk to cool off or just
you know to digest the information and then she was gonna call home but she didn't make it home so
i'm very curious what happened now she is a youth leader at her church so she knows a lot of people
i'm wondering if anybody has heard from her in that regard or if there's something maybe
she talked to one of her friends about or what happened because this is according to the family
very very much not like veda and obviously they want her to come home so if you can please share
this out let's get the word out maybe someone saw something on that saturday saturday's
typically a busy day and this was in sacramento so perhaps maybe somebody saw something even if
it's teeny tiny like she was crossing the street i encourage you if you did see something like that
or anything just no matter how small to please call the number it could mean the difference
between veda coming home and not being found please subscribe if you haven't done so already
please like and please please share thank you so much for watching see you soon
