I said maybe she had forgot her charger and her phone is dead. So when I started calling her on Thursday it was going to voicemail. I just didn’t feel right. I went over to her house to call the police for them to do a well-being check because I had seen her car. So I said, okay she’s probably just in there, maybe she’s asleep or – I don’t know, I just didn’t feel right.” Phillips did say the Chicago police department has been conducting an investigation, along with the postal inspector, she explained, “The postal inspector, he has been calling and checking in saying, ‘We are doing all we can. There’s things that we can’t tell you right now, but we’re doing all we can.’ I’m just guessing they just want to have facts together, they don’t want to give me bits and pieces.” Karen also addressed the rumor that her boyfriend killed Kierra, she said, “I don’t think he was involved.” Her sister, Keshia Phillips, who was also in the studio said, “We’re not singling anybody out. We know he is going to be a suspect, but as far as people putting his mother, his kids — all that stuff up there — that’s just not right. We’re not asking nobody to do that, that’s not the type of help that we’re looking for.” Watch the interview below. The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is offering $28,000 for information about Coles’ disappearance, the Chicago Tribune reports. “At this point, anything is possible,” said the postal inspection services’ spokesperson Julie Kenney . “We’re just looking for information.” It’s Been 4 Days My Heart Is Aching!!!

A white woman dubbed “golfcart Gail” on social media confronted Jones at a youth soccer match in Ponte Vedra, Florida after the dad yelled instructions to his 13-year-old son who was playing. Jones explained to her that he wasn’t screaming at the referee. But she felt intimidated and called the cops. A witness, Ginger Williams , who is white, recorded the police encounter and posted it to Facebook under the headline, “Soccer while black.” She didn’t know the father before the incident but felt that she couldn’t remain silent given the wave of similar incidents. A racist woman dubbed “golf cart Gail” called the police on a black man because he was being a father to his son and cheering him on at a soccer game. pic.twitter.com/gCQMnHNh7r — Ricky Davila (@TheRickyDavila) October 18, 2018 Jones believes he was a victim of racial profiling because the field official had previously thrown out a white soccer dad who questioned a referee, but she declined to call the cops on him. Tears rolled down Jones’ face as he recalled having a conversation with his son about the incident. “I’m working hard every day. Do everything right. Love everybody. And my son, he’s like, ‘Hey, I just don’t understand it.’ I don’t understand it. Something has to be done. What can be done? I don’t know, but it’s just too much,” Jones said. Jones believes golfcart Gail owes him an apology. However, Gail’s boss defended her actions, adding that the incident was “sensationalized.” SEE ALSO: Kierra Coles’ Mother Addresses Rumors That Boyfriend Is Involved In Her Disappearance Real Life Uncle Ruckus!
