Akia Shawnta Eggleston | Missing Remains After Baltimore Homicide Conviction
Hall of Records · Justice & Accountability · Missing Person
Akia Eggleston disappeared in Baltimore in May 2017 while eight months pregnant. Michael Robertson was convicted of first-degree murder in the deaths of Eggleston and her unborn son; her remains have not been recovered.
Case Overview
Eggleston was 22 and in the third trimester of a high-risk pregnancy when contact with her ceased. Her disappearance was later investigated as a homicide.
Official Record
Robertson was convicted of two first-degree murder counts and sentenced to two consecutive life terms. Maryland appellate records later affirmed the judgments. The Hall therefore does not describe this as an unresolved homicide, although Eggleston’s remains remain unrecovered.
