On New Year's Day in 2013, 23-year-old Dynasty Myles, a young mother from Detroit, vanished without a trace, leaving her family gripped with a gnawing uncertainty that would last for weeks. She had last been seen in the vicinity of the Fairlane Town Center in Dearborn. Her car was later discovered abandoned in the parking lot of a Benihana restaurant, an unsettling clue in a rapidly unfolding mystery.
The search for Dynasty came to a heartbreaking end on February 5, 2013.
Her body was discovered in a desolate, vacant house on Detroit's west side. The grim circumstances of her death pointed to a violent end, and an autopsy would later confirm the family's worst fears: Dynasty Myles had been the victim of a homicide, having suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head. Evidence at the scene suggested she had been forcibly taken to the abandoned dwelling.
Investigators worked to piece together the final moments of the young woman's life. Surveillance footage from the night she disappeared showed her getting into a silver or grey Dodge Durango. While a person of interest, Theodore Chandler, was questioned in connection with her death, he was ultimately not charged with her murder, and the case officially remains unsolved. The investigation into who was responsible for the death of Dynasty Myles has left a lingering void for her loved ones, a story without a final chapter and a quest for justice that continues.
