The police seem skeptical about the ransom demand. With all due respect, it does seem odd that a ransom would be demanded for a foster child.
 
What does that mean? Like an exchange student?
A more successful/more conveniently located family member taking in his grandchildren, nieces and nephews, younger cousins, friends' kids, etc. so they can attend university, go to a better school, etc.

At twenty he wouldn't be in a conventional foster home anyway.

I'm not sure Jimmy was living with a more successful family member. His address looks like it’s part of a tough neighborhood with multiple shootings in 2019. I also wonder why he wasn’t reported missing for 4 days. Lastly, why is he “endangered”?
Websleuths Admin - the caption for this case says he went missing in “1999” - can you change that to “2019”? TIA.
 
Police believe fatal stabbing possibly related to 2 missing person cases
Police say a woman was found slain in the bathtub of her East Germantown home, and a teenager recently placed in foster care in her home is to be questioned.
…..
Police are also searching for 16-year-old Jacob Merritt-Richburg, of the 1800 block of Vineyard Street.
Authorities believe Merritt-Richburg is an acquaintance of Mao who may be in possession of property belonging to Mao.
Merritt-Richburg was reported missing by his foster mother. He was last seen on Jan. 6.
 
Body found in duffel bag, stabbing death of Philadelphia foster mom possibly connected

In a back alley, investigators uncovered a body inside of a duffel bag with blunt force trauma to the head. The man is described as an Asian teen with tattoos.

"Police believe they know who the body is based on tattoos, but at this time it has not been positively identified," said Chief Inspector Scott Small.
Jimmy Mao's sister spoke with investigators at police headquarters Wednesday night. She says her family was asked to go to the medical examiner's office in the morning
 
17-year-old boy is now the primary suspect in the murder of his foster mother early Wednesday morning and another victim whose body was found in a duffel bag hours later.

Police said the body of 64-year-old Renée Gilyard was discovered in a bathtub inside her Germantown home on the 300 block of Mechanic Street shortly after 1 a.m. Wednesday.

Family members who had come to her home to check on Gilyard found her with multiple stab and defensive wounds.

Gilyard was also the mother to a Philadelphia police officer.

Police said the contents of her purse had been dumped out and her SUV was gone.

They believe her 17-year-old foster son was the last person to see her alive.

Just after 11 a.m., Gilyard's SUV was recovered by police after it crashed into a truck and caught fire on the 4300 block of Sansom Street in West Philadelphia.

Inside the SUV were four teens, including Gilyard's foster son, police said. He had been placed in her care just three days earlier.

At the time, the foster son was determined to be a person of interest.

Then, during a late Wednesday morning press conference, police said the teen may be connected to two young men who were reported missing in the past few weeks. Twenty-year-old Jimmy Mao of the 5800 block of Angora Terrace was last seen on December 29. Police said Mao's family has been receiving ransom texts since his disappearance.

Teenager now primary suspect in Philadelphia foster mom's death, duffel bag killing: Police
 
Jacob Merritt-Richburg, 17, of the 1800 block of Vineyard Street, who police said is an acquaintance of Jimmy Mao, has also been reported missing.

His mother last saw Jacob on Monday. Her son had a new cellphone, but he couldn't explain where he got it.

She's asking him to turn himself in or come home.

By Wednesday evening, the investigation took another turn. Around 5 p.m., a tip led police to the corner of the 5800 block of Angora Terrace in Southwest Philadelphia - the same block where Jimmy Mao was last seen living with his foster family.

In a back alley, investigators uncovered a body inside of a duffel bag. The body suffered from blunt force trauma to the head. The victim was described as an Asian teen with tattoos.

Wow, that poor foster mother. She takes in a 17 yr old, sand 3 days later he stabs her to death and steals her SUV and goes joyriding with 3 friends.

Oh, and when he came to her home, he had just recently killed 2 of his friends....tried collecting ransom for one of them all week.

So tragic.
