After Visiting A Cleveland Gas Station In 2021, She Disappeared, And Her Car Was Later Caught On Camera Being Driven By A Male With Bullet Holes In The Passenger Door And Roof
Born on March 21, 1994, Rajah Adriana McQueen is a mother of two who attended Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland, Ohio, with a major in psychology.
Then, in 2021, she started attending Rosedale Bible College in Rosedale, Ohio, and studying both music and theology.
In the summer of that year, the 27-year-old had also recently returned home for her break from school and was living in Cleveland. Yet, on June 26, 2021, she mysteriously disappeared.
Early in the morning that day, Rajah visited a gas station located near East 131 Street and Harvard Avenue in Cleveland. She was last seen at 7:30 a.m. getting into her car – a silver 2018 Nissan Sentra with the license plate number JGH3953.
Just about four hours later, at approximately 11:15 a.m., Rajah’s car was again spotted on surveillance cameras heading west on Harvard Avenue towards Broadway. However, she wasn’t driving the vehicle.
Rather, a male individual was behind the wheel. Additionally, her car had bullet holes in both the passenger door and roof.
“Now the car has some defects on it, such as all hubcaps had been removed. There is a bullet hole on the rear passenger door as well as the roof of the car,” said Detective Kevin Callahan with Cleveland Police’s Missing unit, who is leading the investigation.
Following this surveillance camera sighting, Rajah never returned home and was never seen or heard from again.
The male driving Rajah’s car was reportedly interviewed by police. However, his identity has not been released to the public, and authorities haven’t shared any other information regarding him or Rajah’s car location.

“We’ve issued probably at least, maybe 15 search warrants and interviewed a ton of people,” Callahan explained.
Despite dedicating countless hours to investigating her disappearance, though, Rajah’s case remains unsolved.
She vanished along with her cell phone, which was reportedly turned off manually. Since she went missing, her social media and phone records have also shown no activity.
So, Callahan emphasized how investigators need community members’ help to push the investigation forward and locate both Rajah and her vehicle.
“We need help from the community. We firmly believe that somebody out there in either one of those areas, in particular, knows something; maybe they’ve seen Rajah’s car parked on the street at that time back in June,” he stated.
“We’re looking for that one tip to give us that information as to where one of those two items is at.”
Rajah’s loved ones have refused to give up the search for answers, too. They’ve created a Facebook group entitled Finding Rajah McQueen to spread awareness about her case, share memories of her life, and pray for Rajah’s two children.
Her cousin, Alicia Kirkland, has also handed out flyers in the Cleveland area – finding a sense of purpose despite the grief.
“I could be having a bad day or a bad week, but the minute that we say we are going to do something for Rajah, I immediately get very excited, and I’m very happy,” she said.
Investigators suspect foul play was involved in Rajah’s disappearance, and the FBI is currently offering a reward of $25,000 for information that leads to her discovery.
However, Alicia says that they need help from the community and issued a plea to anyone with information.
“With no malice in my heart, if you know something, you need to say something. If you have fear inside of you because you’re afraid of the consequences, if it comes out on the other side, what consequences do you think that you’ll face?” she asked.
Rajah is five foot six, weighs 133 pounds, and has black hair and brown eyes. She also has various tattoos, including “Tavarus” in red ink on the inside of her wrist and a rose above her knee.
If you have any information regarding her disappearance, you are urged to contact the Cleveland Police Department at (216) 623-5418 or the FBI Tipline at (216) 583-5383.
