In this episode of Hunting 4 Answers: In July 2025, 34-year-old Maressa Mays walked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison after missing a court date. Five days later, she was gone. Her family says they received a chilling phone call from another inmate—reporting that Maressa was in pain, begging for medical help, and being ignored. When detectives arrived at her mother’s door, they had no answers. And when Maressa’s family saw her body, they found bruising, swelling, and injuries they could not explain. Months later, her family is still asking what happened in those final hours—and why no one has answers.

This is the story of Maressa Mays.
