Hi. I am new here. I have been meaning to post for a long time but I was not sure if there was a point since my info is not that juicy and I have no way to actually prove anything
But anyway, I remember Jessica from a strip club called Sweet Cherry in Sunset Park, Brooklyn (42nd st and 2nd ave) . This was maybe may 2003- July 2003 right when I first started working there.
I remember her vividly for a few reasons. She was one of the only young, white girls we had and she went by the same name I did, Lala (which in my case is short for my real name). We were both new, when she started I changed my name. The club was mostly black/Hispanic, voluptuous or even out of shape girls. She was very petite, always wore black vinyl boots instead of regular clear heels and she was very obviously one of the girls whose pimps plant them there to either sell drugs or get dates. She would only stay for a set or two then leave, never worked a full shift. She also never smiled. I always wondered about her.
I worked there for about 2.5 years and girls would leave and come back but she never came back. Managers were Gabriel B (not sure if I can post full names) and Michael for night shift , they kept copies of the girls IDs in the office (some had fake ids because they were underage ), I would like to know if they had Jessica’s just to confirm that I am right.
FYI, this place closed down many years ago, probably 10 or more. It was wild, I have tons of stories , I could write a book. Some murders linked to this club, prostitution, drug sales, even a serial killer (our bouncer sakkai). I will post an article. You can do your own research. But what never left my mind (I DONT KNOW if it’s true at all, it could just be a rumor) is that years before I started (so before 2003) a Woman’s body was found, Police could not identify it, I don’t recall if it was because it was dismembered or burned but they ended up figuring out who she was by her breast implant (??). The old time customers who had been going to sweet Cherry and another club who was nearby called Cuckoos Nest (this is way before my time ) swore up and down the girl was a sweet Cherry dancer and this had been done by a cop so it was swept under the rug. We also had Long Island customers , not many but a few regulars.
I know the rules here , you have to post things that were posted by the media, so feel free to delete . I just have this story in my head for so long and nobody in my current life knows about my past so I just had to share with someone. personally I don’t think Lisk is the type to go to strip clubs, he strikes me as way too secretive about his habits but I am sharing anyway.
Hope more people come forward so we can piece more info about Jessica.
