Daizsa Bausby was allegedly sexually abused and murdered by her father. Her body was found on March 21, inside a room at the 4 Acre Motel in south Kansas City, Missouri.
Eighteen-year-old Daizsa was a cheerleader, an honor student, and a mentor to her classmates. By May 2016, she would have earned enough college credits to have graduated with a high school diploma, an associate’s degree, and the distinction of class salutatorian. She was well-loved by her teachers and friends, and they left a draped empty chair in her stead to honor her at graduation.
