🎙️ Episode Description
A Child Having a Child: Where Is Celina Mays?
In December 1996, twelve-year-old Celina Mays went to bed in her Willingboro, New Jersey home and by morning, she was gone. Nearly thirty years later, the silence around her disappearance still echoes. This episode unpacks the timeline, the secrets, and the power that kept an entire community quiet.
You’ll hear from former members, family, and the detective now leading the case —revealing what really happened inside the Gospel of Christ Ministries, and what still hasn’t been done for Celina.
If Celina is alive today, she would be 41 years old.
The baby she was carrying would be 29 this December.
