"This page is dedicated to Nicole Shalonda Johnson, who vanished just after her sixteenth birthday in December 2002. Below is a detailed comparison to a Jane Doe found in Bayonne, New Jersey in 2007. Our hope is to preserve Nicole’s memory and ensure she’s not forgotten, while offering information that could help bring her home." NICOLE SHALONDA JOHNSON MISSING DATE: December 13, 2002 LAST SEEN: Illinois (Chicago) An undated photo of Nicole DETAILS OF THE CASE Nicole disappeared from the Bronzeville neighborhood in Chicago, Illinois on December 9, 2002 (2 days after her 16th birthday). She was then sighted two more times on December 13, in two different places: the 8700 block of South Cottage Grove Avenue, and the 7900 block of South King Drive, in Chatham. Authorities believe Nicole left of her own accord. Her friends even stated that she had told them that she did not plan to return home. Nicole also suffers from mild depression which was being treated with medication, but hadn’t taken it in months prior to her disappearance. She has not been seen since. It is speculated that Nicole may still be in the Chicago area.

The area where she was discovered was described as isolated despite being located in an industrial area. Route 440 carries local, inter-county, and interstate traffic and the decedent could have potentially been brought to this area, via car, from anywhere in the continental United States due to the significant amount of traffic that converges in that area.

DENTALS: Available FINGERPRINTS: Available DNA: Available THE COMPARISON NICOLE SHALONDA JOHNSON & BAYONNE JANE DOE Facial comparison of Nicole, 30 Year Age Progressed of Nicole, composited sketch of Jane Doe, and C.O.R. Image interpretation of Jane Doe ("The Doe has features resembling Nicole’s, such as the lips and eyebrows - Notice the similar lip shape (especially the upper lip); her nose also shares similarities with Nicole’s, although it appears slightly wider in the Doe’s photo, and the eyebrows have the same arch and thickness. We're not saying this is 100% her, but there are striking resemblances that are worth looking into.”) BOTH ARE BLACK BOTH ARE FEMALE NICOLE WAS LAST SEEN WEARING HAIR EXTENSIONS ALBEIT DOWN TO HER SHOULDERS WHILE JANE DOE WAS DISCOVERED WITH EXTENSIONS PAST HER SHOULDERS. ALSO, JANE DOE'S NATURAL HAIR MORE LIKELY IS BROWN LIKE NICOLE BUT MIGHT HAVE BEEN MISTAKE FOR BLACK. JANE DOE WAS STATED TO HAVE SOME GAPS BETWEEN SOME OF HER TEETH. BASED ON THE AGE PROGRESSED OF NICOLE BY NCMEC, NICOLE DENTAL STRUCTURE MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE SAME WAY - THOUGH THIS IS OUR HYPOTHESIS. NICOLE WAS 16 YEARS OLD WHEN SHE WENT MISSING. AT THE TIME OF JANE DOE'S DISCOVERY, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN 20 YEARS OLD. JANE DOE IS BETWEEN 16 AND 20 YEARS OLD. SO GIVEN THE APPROXIMATE AGE RANGE OF THE JANE DOE, IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT BOTH YOUNG WOMEN WERE AROUND THE SAME AGE IN 2007. NICOLE WAS BETWEEN 5'7 IN HEIGHT. JANE DOE IS ABOUT 5'2-5'5 IN HEIGHT. SO BOTH YOUNG WOMEN'S HEIGHT ESTIMATE WAS LIKELY CLOSER TO 5'6. NICOLE WEIGHTED 115 lbs WHILE JANE DOE WEIGHTED 118-138 lbs. BOTH YOUNG WOMEN WEIGHED ABOUT THE SAME. OUR THOUGHTS ABOUT WHAT "POSSIBLY" HAPPENED [This is one possible explanation, not a definitive answer—Nicole’s life deserves every chance at being reunited with her family] We believe Nicole left on her own accord and has been staying with various people and places during the 5 year timeframe of her disappearance and the discovery of Jane Doe. In that time frame, her appearance would've changed due to aging and style choice. Ultimately, it's possible she was met with foul play by an assailant(s) who she either knew or not, and was possibly killed elsewhere and disposed of in Bayonne, New Jersey. Facial comparison of C.O.R. Image interpretation and composite sketch of Jane Doe as well as a photo of young Nicole PLUS, NICOLE AND THE JANE DOE LOOK CANDIDLY ALIKE WITH BOTH YOUNG WOMEN "LITERALLY" HAVING THE SAME FEATURES WITHOUT GOING INTO SPECIFICS.

In the September 4th episode, Perry talked about her upcoming album, "143", and her controversial decision to work again with producer Dr. Luke. Dr. Luke, known for producing many of Perry’s biggest hits, has faced allegations of drugging and sexually assaulting singer Kesha, which he denies. xDespite the backlash, Perry defended her choice, stating, "He was one of many collaborators… but the reality is, it comes from me. I wrote these songs from my experience." Perry's decision has reignited debate, similar to the criticism faced by artists like Doja Cat and Kim Petras, who also worked with Dr. Luke on their recent albums. Perry’s new singles, "Woman's World" and "Lifetimes," both co-produced by Dr. Luke, have sparked controversy online. Perry explained that "Woman's World"x is a song about empowerment, reflecting her life as a mother and a woman. Although she did not directly address the allegations against Dr. Luke on the podcast, Perry acknowledged the conversations around her decision and emphasized that her creative choices stem from her own experiences and growth.
