Charla Pendergrass is accused of allegedly lying to investigators who were looking for London Thomas. Thomas, 17, was last seen on April 5, 2025 when her sister dropped her off at her 23-year-old boyfriend's Inkster home. On April 26, her body was found. Pendergrass allegedly told an investigator that she saw Thomas leave the Inkster home where she was last seen on April 5, a fact that authorities say was a lie. Authorities say phone records and video confirm that she lied to investigators.
