**I'm writing about this case, that as far as I know, haven't been to trial yet because I am so baffled by it and if anyone know anything and would like to share. I remember when it happened and looks like from my google searches that there hasn't been a lot of updates about it, and 7 years later, no trial. I feel so bad for her, he was her friend.**

**May 15, 2019.** Kameela Russel, a mother of two is reported missing after failing to pick up her daughter from relatives.

Her body was found on May 25, floating in a canal near the home of her best friend, Miami Norland Senior High School Assistant Principal Ernest Joseph Roberts. Russel was a teacher at the same school. Roberts was also the godfather of her children.

She was last seen May 15, in her black Audi A6, in the driveway of her aunt's house.

Later, surveillance vídeo showed she entering the home of her accused killer. She is never shown leaving.

On May 20, 5 days after Kameela went missing, and before her body was found, Roberts went to the school, prior to leaving on a school trip to Washington, D.C., and then called an employee who was in that day.

Police said Roberts told the employee to open a specific cabinet in a classroom, where he would find a handwritten note and a set of keys for an Audi.

The note read: "Do you know anyone that can chop up a car? If so or make it 'disappear' take these keys. It's behind the Speedway Racetrack on 441 by County Line. Friends are gone and need it to disappear. If not leave it and I'll work it out later. Throw this note away!"

The arrest warrant stated that the employee notified police and Russell's car was found parked behind the gas station.

Police said the employee told detectives Roberts had also called him the night Russell disappeared and told him, "I did something crazy."

According to the employee, Roberts claimed he had confronted an intruder inside his mother's home and hit the person with a baseball bat, killing that person.
