“I just don’t understand how this happened and how there’s three grown men missing and nobody seems to know anything,” said Taylor Perrin to The Detroit News. Perrin told reporter Mark Hicks that the three men had originally met while serving prison terms. Perrin noted that her fiance, Armani Kelly (above), who performs under the name Marley Whoop, had “really turned his life around” since serving his sentence for an armed robbery charge by taking classes, working, pursuing music, and planning the couple’s wedding. He’d performed in his first show in 2022 and was looking forward to this second show, which was to take place before a larger crowd. “He just really wanted his music out and was just trying to promote it,” she said.

Perrin and Kelly have known each other since they were teenagers. According to Perrin, Kelly has long been interested in becoming a rapper, writing rhymes in his notebook while he looked for a producer to work with after his release from prison. Perrin discussed the couple’s hopes for the future and said, “We were so close to be able to start our life and somebody just took it all away. I just beg for help, for anything. I need answers.” Lorrie Kemp posted to Facebook on Sunday, in part: “Some1 pls help me bring him home to his resting place. I plead with u as a mother of a son who had his whole life ahead of him!”
