The Up and Vanished team visits the mural of Khadijah Britton, which is on an old rundown concrete building, open yet enclosed. It's visible to those who commute from Highway 162. This mural is a powerful and beautiful way to commemorate Khadijah, yet also serves as a reminder to many who drive by that this case isn't closed. There is still work to be done for justice for Khadijah and bring her family and friends closure.
