The Disappearance of Unique Harris
Episode 030
CASE UPDATE - ARREST MADE - ISAAC MOYE
Unique RaQuel-Leona Harris
In October of 2010, twenty-four year old, single mother of two, Unique Harris was having a movie marathon sleepover with her sons and young cousin. After putting the children to bed, sometime between 10pm and 9am, Unique vanished from her apartment. When the children awoke the next morning they were scared because Unique was gone. Her family wasn't overly concerned until they discovered her glasses had been left behind, glasses which Unique couldn't go anywhere without.
Days after her disappearance, Unique's mother Valencia told a reporter that in the weeks leading up to her vanishing, Unique witnessed a murder in the parking lot across from her apartment complex. This statement has fueled rampant rumors that Unique was murdered by the same person, though this has never been proven and even the murder is debated. In a case full of contradictory evidence and strange details, the mystery has only deepened over the years. Her family remains devastated by her loss and hopes one day to answer the question of where she is.
So what happened to Unique Harris? Did she simply choose to run off and leave her life behind? Did she see something she shouldn’t have and ultimately became a target for a killer? Was she victimized in a random act of violence? Or, did someone Unique knew and trusted use her kind hearted nature against her and abduct and murder this beautiful young mother?

UPDATE
DC Metropolitan Police officially arrested and charged 43 year old Isaac Moye with second degree murder while armed in the case of Unique Harris. According to the arrest warrant, as obtained by people magazine, an anonymous informant who had served time in prison with Moye told authorities that the forty-three year old had explained his connection to a missing persons case and bragged that he wouldn’t be caught because “he did it the right way so they’ll never figure it out.”
Reportedly, Police found DNA evidence on Unique’s couch which matched Moye. Furthermore, Moye was wearing a GPS tracker at the time of Unique’s disappearance and the data for the evening of October 9th shows that Moye was present, in Unique’s apartment complex that night.
According to police, Moye has faced previous arrests for assault with a dangerous weapon, simple assault and distribution of narcotics. On Monday morning, Moye entered a plea of not guilty in DC Superior Court.
Unique’s mother, Valencia, upon release of the news issued a short statement on Facebook, saying in part “I hope and pray every parent out here can rest a little bit easier. My child’s life and passing will not be in vain.”
Moye is set to return to court on Monday, January 11th. Obviously this is a very new development and not all information has been disclosed, but this is certainly something I will be keeping an eye on and when it’s all said and done I will issue a full update episode.
In the meantime, should anyone have any information about the disappearance of Unique Harris, her connection to Isaac Moye or his alleged involvement in her case, please contact the DC police at 202-727-9099 or text an anonymous tip to 50411.
