Rappers who disappeared on the East Side turn up dead in Highland Park. Free Press reporter Andrea Sahouri tells Shawn and ML how it went down, while Marc is missing and Joe puts out a BOLO.

STRAIGHT DOPE

Marley Whoop, B12 and Juggs disappeared on Jan. 21, shortly after their gig at a social club near Gratiot and Seven Mile got cancelled. They turned up dead two weeks later in the basement of an abandoned building in Highland Park. Free Press reporter Andrea Sahouri details the search for the three men, one of whom recently got out of prison and hoped to launch a career as a rapper. https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/wayne/2023/02/02/bodies-found-in-highland-park-missing-rapper/69868389007/

There was no sign of the rappers after their gig fizzled, but their car kept popping up all over Warren. Andrea tells ML and Shawn how police tracked it.

Officially, police aren’t saying who killed the men. But Andrea thinks they know more than they’re saying. Listen to hear her explanation.

Andrea was one of many Free Pres reporters who helped cover the aftermath of the shootings at MSU. She shares what it was like to speak to the family of one of the victims. It is a very moving and insightful experience you won’t want to miss.
