SECOND SESSION
LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION 336
Introduced by Spivey, 13.
WHEREAS, there is an epidemic of missing Black women and children in the
United States, and Nebraska is not immune to this epidemic; and
WHEREAS, over seven hundred Black women and children go missing every year
in Nebraska, and the majority of reported missing are Black children with more
than four hundred children going missing in 2025; and
WHEREAS, missing Black children are often labeled as runaways, causing
delays in time and resources devoted to searching for them; and
WHEREAS, Camisha Hollis, a mother of three, was reported missing in April
2018 and declared legally dead in 2025 without her body being recovered; and
WHEREAS, Tyler Thomas, a nineteen-year-old college freshman, was reported
missing in December 2010, was declared legally dead in 2013, and her body has
not been recovered; and
WHEREAS, Amber Harris was only twelve years old when she went missing on
November 29, 2005, after getting off her school bus, and her body was found in
Hummel Park in May 2006; and
WHEREAS, Camisha, Tyler, and Amber are missed every day by their friends,
families, and communities, and their stories are just a few out of hundreds
more that must be uplifted; and
WHEREAS, the State of Nebraska has made a commitment to protecting women
and children and by identifying barriers and creating partnerships to increase
reporting and investigation, there can be an increase in found Black women and
children on their way home to their families.
