Latasha Norman's Stepdad

She was thriving like a peacock.

She wanted us to meet Marquis. And so he brought her home to watch her baby brother play in the ball game the 10th of November. We seemed to be all right. But they went back that night, and that was the last time we saw her alive.

Every night, my wife would talk Latasha back to her dorm. This particular night, she couldn't get Latasha. When we woke up November 14, 2007, the phone rang. It was her new boyfriend on the phone. Because my wife had called him, asked him had he seen Tasha. And he said he hadn't seen her since the night before. And she handed me the phone and I talked to him.

By the time we got to Yazoo, Mississippi, I get another call from Marquis. And he says that he's with the campus police and he's filed a missing person report. They did search the school at that time. The dorms and stuff. When we got there, nobody knew. Nobody seen anything. She just disappeared.

I told her to go to the campus police and report to have it documented.

When I first appealed for help on the Jackson State campus, they set up where I could speak. The sheriff there did. And it was media there from everywhere. If you can hear us, we want to let you know that we love you. And that we're not going to stop until we know something. Because it happened on a black college campus. So it draw even more attention. But I'm not shy to mic.

Even before that happened, I had took a media class. It was almost like God had prepared me for this. I went on every talk show, radio show, TV show, news show, anybody that would listen to me.

Tasha had a class at one o'clock and she got out of class at 2.20 and she just disappeared in thin air. She never made it back to her dorm, she never made it to her car.

I was willing to be a man and stand up and fight for them, protect them. It's my job.
