She was eight months pregnant when she got out of her family’s car while they were ordering food at a drive-through and disappeared last year

As a child, Cajairah Fraise grew up in Southern California and had a close relationship with her two siblings.

“She and her brother and sister are like three peas in a pod. They have been best friends all their lives,” said Cajairah’s mother, Karah.

As a teenager, Cajairah attended Beaumont High School and was a member of her school’s track and field team.

Then, at the age of 22, in 2023, Cajairah was living with her parents in Moreno Valley, California. In February of that year, she was also eight months pregnant and excitedly expecting her son to be delivered on March 29, 2023.

“She was just completely excited and shocked. She couldn’t believe it, just the thought of having a baby growing inside you,” Karah recalled of her daughter’s pregnancy.

But just a month before her due date, Cajairah disappeared after what started as a normal day with her mother.

It all started on February 23, 2023, when Cajairah and Karah spent the day together. First they went to the gym for a spa day before going grocery shopping.

“We went to two or three appointments or things she needed for the baby, so we were just running errands,” Karah explained.

Afterwards, Cajairah wanted to visit her maternal grandmother’s house. So Karah called her husband – Cajairah’s father – Jamel and asked if he wanted to travel with them. Apparently Karah wasn’t feeling well and wanted Jamel to drive them.
