Found Deceased MI - Lily Camara, 28, did not show up for an event, Ferndale, Oakland Co., 2 Jul 2019

So she planned to be meeting up with someone before the MGM Grand Casino, but her friend who she was in contact with didn’t know who it was, then what was the meet up for? Delivery of hippie socks? You’d think a friend she’s conversing with would know the person she planned to meet up with before the casino right? Unless Lily herself didn’t really know the person.
 
There are some really interesting comments on this post.
FOX 2 Detroit

There’s some speculation as to whether this incident could be related since the vehicle the victims were in is the same as make, model, and color as Lily’s. MOO
1 dead, 1 in critical condition after double shooting on Eastbound I-94 at Connor

That doesn't bode well.

Was her vehicle involved in a shootout where there are gunshot victims?
Is she one of the victims? Was she carjacked?

From the article it says two male victims. I know the Facebook commenters mention a female but I’m not seeing that reported. Unless these two males were involved in her disappearance and continued driving her car around then turned on each other????

Might be a Tinder thing, the social media dating app with snapchat first glimpse? I thought this is about going to a Casino Event with friend(s) and meeting up beforehand. I doubt it has anything to do with drugs. This was a date she arranged where her parents look after her child(ren) and had the night to herself, but she didn't even make it to the event.

If her friends don't know who she was meeting, and her family doesn't know, maybe it was a new friend?
 
yes. The males could have hijacked her.

If she was carjacked, where is she? It's been 5 days.

Where do the car crash victims live? Maybe there's a trail from the crash to their home, and their home to her car location when they took the car ... or is this just another car of the same make that was in a crash?

There are two male victims of a car crash in a vehicle that is the same make and model as her missing car? It is the same color? Have police picked up on finding her vehicle?

If she was carjacked, and that’s her vehicle hopefully the other victim survives so that the police can pump him for info about where Lily is, and what exactly happened.

They can pretty quickly determine if this is Lily’s car or not so we will see soon. Wouldn’t be unusual to be just another unrelated incident that coincidentally involves same make/model of car. We shall get answers soon.

Yes, yes, and not sure.

1 dead, 1 shot in head after double shooting on eastbound I-94

"Police say they responded to the scene for a shooting and when they arrived there was a black Ford Edge crashed over the side ramp on the eastbound I-94 side at Connor. One man, a John Doe, was found shot to death inside the truck.

"There was another man found on the scene. He suffered a gunshot wound to the head and was taken to the hospital by medics. He is currently in critical condition."

Sounds like a drive-by shooting. Very scary. What are the odds that Lily goes missing July 2 and then the same car make/model/color is involved in a homicide just 4 days later? I do not know how common that particular vehicle is.

I am 99% sure there is gang involvement here. Her late bf ZC was definitely in it. Here is another article with some background:

I am very sad for Lily. She seemed to be going in a good direction a few years ago.

Wow, what a well-written and compelling series of articles. Thanks for sharing this. I'm on chapter 6 now. But what makes you think this is related to Lily? I didn't read anything about her murdered boyfriend in the article -- where did you read he was involved in gangs? Not saying it isn't possible or even unlikely... Just wondering what evidence supports your hypothesis.
 
I'm also curious whether her parents tried to report her missing before her friend filed a missing person report at 1PM on July 5. That was three days after she was last seen. Maybe they weren't worried until she missed July 4 celebrations.
I think it was a family friend, not Lily's friend per se, that reported her missing on behalf of her parents.
Her phone was turned off and she didn't arrive at the planned event. With children, surely they tried to talk to their mom with the Independence Day celebrations.
We don't know if she usually keeps close contact. Maybe she was planning on staying with her friends over the holiday and when her parents couldn't reach her on July 4, they decided to wait another night/morning for her return?
 
Tattoos could very easily be from her time in Detroit, after 2016. Is there any information about when she arrived in Detroit and when she met the deceased boyfriend?
Her FB Life Events (posted by @Gardenista) indicate that she lived in Ann Arbor in 1991 (from her birth?) and that she bought a house in Ann Arbor in 2010. IMO she returned to the area after she left France in 2016. It's not clear when/where she had her child.

I don't know when she first met the bf in question, but she has a tattoo of the exact location.
