Lead #3Godbolt-Molder is known to gamble—could surveillance of gambling establishments in her known locations help locate her?
On August 22, 1989, 5-year-old Rayshon Omar Alexxander died at an army medical center in Fort Bliss, Texas, from injuries consistent with severe child abuse, including a fractured skull and extensive bruising. His stepmother, Rosemary Lorraine Godbolt-Molder, was arrested and indicted for homicide on a government reservation but fled after violating bond conditions in 1993. She remains a federal fugitive with known ties to Texas and New Jersey, and locating her could finally bring justice for the young victim and closure to his family.
