Relisha Rudd


Relisha Rudd is an eight year old girl who was last seen by those who know her in March 1 of this year. So far, no witness has been able to provide reliable details on her whereabouts, and at least one suspect has been found deceased. While the poster above describes an event that has already taken place, this was the best picture I could find that was also combined with contact information. 

The reading starts with the ace of pentacles crossed by the seven of swords. This ace tells of prosperity in it's early stages, and the seven of swords crossing it suggests that counsel and premeditation of some kind are, or were, required due to lack of ownership or lack of skill. This is an unusual way for a reading about a missing child to begin, and it already looks as if Relisha was taken by someone who did not have custodial rights to do so, and it looks like money may have been a motive. The Hierophant appears below this, telling us that someone felt a need to "conform". While this may have been Relisha's mother, trying to create a more stable lifestyle, there is also a possibility that this is how the perpetrator was able to take Relisha.....by blending in and pretending to be legitimate. 

The nine of pentacles appears in the recent past, and this is a card of stability; somehow, this plays a role in motive and location here. This is a situation in which Relisha blended in while she disappeared, and still somehow blends in. The card telling us of that possible outcome, and possibly the best outcome, is the Lovers. This card not only represents romance, but the element of choice. This is for the future, and something that has not come to pass, so I will say more about this later on. The next card is the Knight of Pentacles, who is a middle aged man connected to this. His position has to do with the very near future, so I do not believe he is the suspect who was found deceased. As he is upside right, I will assume, for now, that he is kindly disposed toward Relisha. Perhaps he is the person who will find her. 

In the place of fears, we find Judgment. This points to someone being afraid of the truth getting discovered. It bothers me a bit, because it is a fear I would connect with the perpetrator, rather than with Relisha, herself. I would feel more comfortable about Relisha's welfare if the card described something a victim might feel in this situation. The next card, in the place of environment, is the five of wands, telling us of deception and games being played with investigators and authorities. Following this, we find the four of cups, which is the card of re-evaluation and discontent. Someone connected to Relisha's disappearance is less than happy with the status quo of the situation, and thinking about finding a way to come clean. And the reading ends with the seven of cups, reversed, which is determination and will; also of cutting dreams down to size. This is the card I find myself inclined to connect with choice described by the Lovers, which came up earlier in the reading. Despite the death of the last known person to see Relisha, there is someone else with information, and that person is trying to find a way to communicate with authorities. 

Nothing in this reading clearly points to this little girl being deceased, but I am always unnerved when cards representing perspectives and feelings of involved parties focus on the perpetrator instead of the victim. That is really the only thing about thing about this reading that truly scares me for Relisha. The other worry has to do with possible locations: three cards in this reading that involve water: the seven of cups, the four of cups, and Judgment. The suggestion in Judgment is that Relisha might be found in or near water, tagged along with a suggestion by the five of wands that a place where games and sports have been played is also linked to location. Water is also represented in the Lovers. Forensic evidence, such as IP numbers and cell phone data, will also be helpful in solving this case. I hope Relisha is found very soon. Five and a half weeks is way too long for a child to be missing.

  1. Hi Juli... Was Kahlil Tatum Relisha's Biological Father? Also Was He A Child Predator? I Ask Because He Killed His Wife For Whatever Reasons It Seems Like Out Of The Blue As Well As Himself.. Did Relisha's Mother "Sell" Her To Kahlil? Thank You

    1. He is reported to have been Relisha's biodad. I don't know if he was a child predator, but the more I read about him, the less I think of him. I don't think Relisha was sold; I think she was just taken. He may have wanted to dodge the responsibility of providing a home for Relisha......killing his wife and then himself is certainly a bizarre twist. I think they should search Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens again.

    2. Did her mother and grandmother have anyhting to do with her disappearance. Why did Khalil buy garbage bags. And will she ever be found

    3. It truly does not look like the mom and grandma had anything to do with this. The mom may have had her difficulties, but that is NOT the same thing as making a child disappear; focusing on finding Relisha is going to be more productive than bashing the mom. I think we all probably know why Khalil bought garbage bags. Yes, I think she will be found.......

  2. It have NEVER been reported that she is biological father. In fact he was incarcerated around the time she would have bern concieved.

    1. Ok, I guess "rumored" would have been a better choice of words. And I finally found the source of the rumor: Facebook! But I agree.... it never truly seemed that Khalil Tatum was her bio-father.

  3. I always did say they should search there again...why is her family lying so much if they are so innocent...

    1. I don't know why they are lying or what, specifically, they are lying about. Anything from fear concerning anyone else who knows or was involved with Tatum to fear about actually facing the fact that Relisha's life simply went way, way off course, and no one realized what was going on in time. I'm still having trouble wrapping my mind around possible motives, too. I'm glad to see Kenilworth Park searched again.

    1. Sadly, it really doesn't look that way to me. I usually get more about the feelings, thoughts, and day to day activities of the victim in a reading about a victim who is alive, but death, like time, is not always perceived the same way spiritually as it is physically. That said, I would still never write off the possibility of finding a missing person alive until the person is actually found.

  5. Do you have any reading update about Relisha??

    1. I am not sure if there is anything I can add....if there is a specific question, you are free to share it. I still think that Relisha will be found in the water, even though she has not been found yet. I also think that the man who killed himself also was responsible for Relisha's disappearance. Somehow, I think it will either be Kenilworth Park, or the Anacostia River. I also think she may have been overlooked; a few years ago, a young woman named Chandra Levy was killed in Rock Creek Park, and law enforcement actually searched a few feet away from where she actually was, and still did not find her! She was found by accident much later. This case reminds me of that.
