On February 15, 2008, 27-year-old Jarib Bennett, his friend Sasha Davis, and her four-month-old daughter, Selah Davis, departed from the Bronx, New York, for a planned trip to visit friends in Rochester, New York. The group was expected to return on February 19, but they never arrived at their destination and all communication with them ceased. Concern grew as days turned into weeks with no word.
Bennett was married with two daughters, and Sasha had an older daughter, making their sudden and unexplained disappearance highly uncharacteristic.
The initial break in the case came on February 27, 2008, when the Hyundai they had rented for the trip was discovered abandoned on Genesee Street in southwest Rochester. Inside the vehicle, investigators found a stroller and other baby items, but there was no sign of Bennett, Sasha, or Selah. Police reported that there were no fingerprints or blood evidence in the car, offering a glimmer of hope to the families that they might still be alive. Despite this discovery, the investigation yielded few leads, and the case grew cold for over a decade, leaving their families in a painful state of uncertainty.
A significant and unexpected development emerged years later, complicating the narrative of who exactly went missing. Investigators discovered that the man known as Jarib "Griff" Bennett, who disappeared with Sasha and Selah, was not the real Jarib Bennett. He was, in fact, an undocumented immigrant from Jamaica who had assumed the identity of the real Jarib Bennett. The actual Jarib Bennett passed away in 2017. This revelation redirected the focus of the investigation, which was officially reopened in 2022. It was also reported that some of the missing trio's belongings were later found at a local pawn shop. Despite these developments, the whereabouts of Sasha and Selah Davis, and the man who called himself Jarib Bennett, remain unknown, and their disappearances continue to be an unsolved mystery.Last Seen: Feb 15, 2008
