Almost four years after 8-year-old Relisha Rudd went missing from the family homeless shelter at the former D.C. General Hospital, D.C. police received a tip that prompted them to search for evidence in and around the Anacostia River north of Pennsylvania Avenue on Friday afternoon. Unfortunately, the search came up empty. Finding out what happened to Rudd has been a priority for police and politicians; her disappearance shed light on the horrible conditions at the shelter and prompted Mayor Muriel Bowser to create a plan to close it for good.
