Two African American women have mysteriously disappeared, only nine days apart. One in Atlanta, another in St. Louis and the details surrounding the disappearance in both cases are eerily similar.
Vehicles belonging to the missing women were both found abandoned, with the engine still running.
Also in both cases, both vehicles had been impounded and valuable days of investigation was lost due to the fact that authorities never realized the cars had been found until several days into the investigations.
Atlanta is rallying together in the case of Stacey Nicole English, a 36 year old African-American woman who mysteriously disappeared the day after Christmas.

As of this date, there have still been no signs of the missing woman.
A St. Louis event promoter Robert Kirk, was in Atlanta during that time vising English and he may have been the last to see the missing Atlanta woman alive.

It was a fairly new relationship for Stacey and her father, Tony English says, Kirk was “only the second gentleman that she actually introduced me to.”
Kirk was invited to spend Christmas with the English family in Atlanta and 24-hours later, Stacey was missing.
While authorities have NOT named Robert Kirk as a suspect in English’s disappearance, they still believe he was likely the last person to see her, and he reportedly remains a “person of interest” in the case.

In protecting his interests, Kirk has now hired a high profile defense attorney and has since deleted his Twitter and Facebook accounts, while one still remains active under his business name.
Thanks I’mSurroundedByIdoits! That’s an interesting observation.
Kirk has been referred to as a “known ladies man” and reportedly has a son (and a baby mama) in the Atlanta area.
While again…. he hasn’t been named a suspect in the case, I personally find it odd that someone so close to English would not publicly aid in her search. Facebook has been filled with flyers since her disappearance, but Kirk’s page doesn’t have a flyer… a poster… a picture… nothing!
The cases have gained minimal exposure, so it’s of the utmost importance that we keep both girls in the forefront until they are found.
The similarities between the two cases was recently discussed on CNN…
VIDEO: ISSUES – Jan 9 – Phoenix Cold0n
The family of 23-year-old Phoenix Coldon of Missouri is now trying to determine if her case could be linked to the disappearance of 36-year-old Stacey English of Georgia.
Coldon was last seen by her mother in the driveway of their St. Louis County home at about 3 p.m. on Dec. 18.
“She was sitting in her vehicle,” Coldon said. “She does that often. She’ll sit in the car and talk on the phone. That’s what I thought she was doing. When I looked out again, her vehicle was gone.”
Coldon said she initially thought her daughter had gone to the store, but she did not return that night. Coldon said the following morning she reported her daughter and her black 1998 Chevy Blazer missing to police.
On Jan. 1, Coldon’s family found out her missing Chevy Blazer had been impounded at about 6:23 p.m. on the day she went missing. The vehicle was discovered about a 25-minute drive from her home, at 9th and St. Clair in East St. Louis. The keys were in the ignition with the vehicle running, and the driver’s door open.
The car had been towed and entered into the police computer as an abandoned vehicle.
The young woman’s mother, Goldia Coldon, even notices the similarity between Phoenix’s case and that of Stacey Nicole English and says it has not escaped the attention of police or support groups for missing persons.
“They are very similar,” Coldon said. “[Saint Louis County Police] Captain Troy Doyle, who is working on my daughter’s case, said he saw some similarities also.”
Atlanta Police Department public affairs manager Carlos Campos also said that investigators are “aware” of the Coldon case and “are planning to reach out to authorities in the St. Louis area as part of our investigation” into English’s disappearance.
The nonprofit organization Black And Missing But Not Forgotten said it is also following this issue.
“If the cases are connected, we are looking at a possible traveling serial kidnapper/killer and there could be more,” said Deidra Robey, the organization’s CEO and founder. (source)
As far as Coldon’s linkage to Robert Kirk, the St. Louis man who is thought to be the last person to have seen Stacey Nicole English, they reportedly both attended the University of Missouri-St Louis and have a few mutual facebook friends.
Meanwhile, the search for answers for both families continues.
“I pray that the Lord will send his angels to surround them with love and will send his warrior angels to conquer whatever evil is around here to the extent that evil will go,” Goldia Coldon said.
Stacey English (above left) is 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighs approximately 120 pounds. She has brown eyes and shoulder-length brown hair with blonde highlights. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Atlanta Police Department at 404-614-6544. Her family has also started a group about her disappearance on Facebook.
Phoenix Coldon (above right) is described as 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs approximately 125 pounds. She has reddish brown hair and pierced ears. She was last seen wearing gray sweatpants with the word UMSL printed vertically down one pant leg, a dark hoodie and tennis shoes. Anyone with information on the case is asked to call St. Louis County Police at 314-889-2341. The family has a group about her case on Facebook.
I pray that both families get to see their daughters home safe and sound.
If you have any information at all… PLEASE come forward!
I will continue to pray for the English family and will pray for the Coldon family.
It’s rare that anyone has affiliation with a missing person and yet this man has it with two. That’s enough to convince me that he knows something. They should also check if any women have gone missing after attending any of his party promotions it would be easy for him to pray upon women that way.
So many women have gone missing and it’s a shame that the media is focusing on making the two cases connect and not putting regional cases together. Things are overlooked when we use the media as judge and jury. I pray that both these women return home safely.
Stacey is a member of my church and I continue to pray for her safe return. The other thing that is interesting to me is that these 2 ladies look a lot alike.
The Atlanta case is so bizzare. And the fact the parents haven’t addressed Stacey’s mental state/history is even more odd. This police report shows where his claim of her acting out of character seems to be the same as to what another friend of Stacey said. With all the different media reports its hard to really keep up with the story because everyone has a few facts one doesn’t have and another is reporting something’s incorrect. I hope they find both girls well.
wow, u r becoming the black CNN! Great story, good info, I hope it can help solve the case by getting the word out to the right person.
Not only do they look alike Sheila, they both went to the same college and have mutual facebook friends. These are promising leads I hope the cops are paying close attention to.
Phoenix is the same age as my niece. She’s pretty like her too. It’s interesting two women turned up missing in two cities one man was in. Awefully damn suspect.
I pray for both these girls, their family and friends.
And if they were met with foul play, I hope the bastard is caught and thrown UNDER the jail.
Sad, I hope their families will finally receive closure. It’s obvious he has a type & an M.O. I doubt very seriously this is a coincidence because their facial symmetry is far too similar. His photo needs to be posted on every gossip site, every news site, hell everywhere!
The young lady was reported missing in Saint Louis on 12/18. They said her car was found 20 miles away from where she supposedly was last seen at. Her car was found in East St Louis, IL which is basically Downtown Saint Louis, It is just over the bridge. Based on the police report Mr. Kirks zipcode is 63103, this is a zipcode for downtown st louis. The zipcodes in downtown st louis cover small areas so Mr. Kirk probably lived somewhere off Washington Avenue in Downtown St Louis. He is a party promoter and does 21 and up events in the downtown stl area and he attended UMSL where Coldon attend and they have the same mutual friends on FB. He has access to meeting lots of women. The 63103 area code is approx 5 mins away from the location her car was found. East Saint Louis is Illinois. What better place to hide a car than in another state and who would know more about towing than someone who lives in a downtown area where illegally parked cars are towed all the time.
Fast forward to Atlanta. In the police report Robert Kirk said he was staying with Ms English from 12/24-12/26 but on his facebook page (now deleted) he never mentioned her once. All his posts were about his son and the mother of his child. He said he was staying at 1010 Midtown (Which is off Northside drive in Atlanta, downtown area) On his facebook he stated that he was not leaving Atlanta until 12/30. On his facebook he made it clear that he was staying at 1010 Midtown apartments and even referred to it as his “future” home. After the argument with Ms English reports say he went back to Saint Louis on the 26 but Ms English came up missing on the 26 or 27 something Is not adding up and I do not believe that what Mr Kirk stated that was all they argument about. Ms English knew something or had something on Mr Kirk that led to their argument, now back to the story. Ms English’s car was found off langford pkwy (the lakewood area) This area is right off the highway and about 5-10 minutes away from 1010 Midtown apartments. If you know the street roads you wouldnt even have to get on the highway to get from one to another. If you are from Atlanta you know that the Lakewood area is not an area where you want to go at night if you are doing anything suspicious because it is a shady neighborhood (reason why there is a police substation at the library where the car was parked). I dont believe her car was dropped off there at night because you would have a hard time getting a cab to pick you up in that area at night . I believe it was dropped off at the library in the middle of the day.
Here Is a LinkedIn page of Mr Kirt. Police should supenea his clientel list. Read the first 2 paragraphs that you’ll find raises a red flag In every way! http://www.linkedin.com/pub/robert-kirk/a/728/155?_mSplash=1
There has to be connections on– LinkedIn, cell phone records, e-mails, the black boxes in the vehicles..Robert, who women thinks is very attractive, attended the same university as Phoenix. And he has a business that specializes in planning social events for young professionals. I’m just thinking about how he could have met both of the women. This sums It up and I hope the police reads this and put 2 and 2 together, It’s obvious these connections are linked the clues are right In their face. Also the girl Kristina Flowers came up missing In Chicago but they found her not saying that he’s linked to her case but I bet Mr Kirt didn’t work a long he got those girls lured Into the hands of someone he’s working for and covered his tracks good! (BTW, it’s dangerous out here ladies be aware of your surroundings!)
I rest my case!
lord i hope not…
Praying for both families!!
It wouldn’t surprise me if this man was some sort of pimp.
Maybe he tried to put the women in a sex trafficking ring. They are both young, pretty and we know that when black people go missing, especially black females, the cops and the media do little to investigate and inform the public nor solve the disappearances.
Given his looks, his residences, his line of work and the fact that he keeps his connection to the missing women under the radar it is obvious he did harm to them and he is a hustler of some sort.
Honestly he looks gay. I think he is working with a group of other men and I bet these two women aren’t the only ones missing who have come in contact with him.
@stl314 it’s funny that you mentioned where he lives. He does live downtown I know him personally I came across this case just by browsing the internet. He is a very popular promoter. He was supposed to go to ATL for the holidays to see his son. I wonder how did he end up spending time with this young lady and her family. You are absolutely correct based on his facebook he came back to St. Louis 12/30. I know he spent time over in illinois b/c he would go over there to bowl so he was by no means a stranger to those parts. Im following this case closly and I pray justice is served!
I know Mr. Kirk as well and have know him for years. Although he is quite popular with the ladies, this is not what I have known to be of his character. I think this is sad, seeing as though there are 2 woment and the stories do have similarities. Per ABC News, Mr. Kirk is not a suspect or person of interes and the security office at Ms. English’s complex confirmed he left around 10:30p on the 26th after the argument. Not saying it is not likely that he could be a suspect. Just think that judgement and condemnation should be left to the man upstairs and prayers should go out to EVERYONE as everyone involved lives has changed I’m sure.
@Stl413 I just been studying the case hard that’s all and putting 2 and 2 together by researching hard something that Investigators failed to do. Everything links back to him and If he didn’t do It then he lured the girls In the hands of someone he’s working for. Plus they stated that Ms Coldon and him have the same mutual friends on fb and attend the same college so she had to know him and trusted who ever It was she was on the phone with that day.
Blossom no one Is passing judgement and just cause his character didn’t seem that way to you doesn’t mean he doesn’t act a different way behind closed doors. What’s In the dark shall come to light and your right they haven’t labeled him as a suspect but they did state that he was a person of Interest. Also answer this If he didn’t do It stayed with her for those days when they got in an argument why after he left he didn’t call her parents to let them know she was acting strange? Why when he found out she was missing he didn’t help the family search for her by posting flyers or anything but stated the fact she was acting bizarre so he left which I’m still not buying cause her friend stated she felt someone was trying to hurt Ms English that night. No we don’t know what occurred In her condo that night but for all we know she could of been drugged. Also why hire the highest paid defense attorney In Saint Louis If you not guilty and everyone knows that he don’t come cheap. Both girls cars found 5 min away from where he lived In both states. Smh
THAT CRAZY STACEY ENGLISH BITCH IS DEAD SOMEWHERE NEAR WHERE THE CAR WAS FOUND!!!!

maddog: Have some Fucking RESPECT for people YOU punk azz LOSER.
Thank you.
The media over looked the facts in the police report. Both Mr. Kirk and her friend made the same statements about her mental state of mind. The media or her parents didn’t inform the public that she was sick and suicidal. The attention was only direct toward Mr. Kirk and painting a picture that he’s a monster. The monsters within Stacey wasn’t mentioned. RIP Stacey!
