HRC Mourns Zakaria Fry
HRC Mourns Zakaria Fry
Post submitted by HRC Senior Research Manager, Public Education & Research, Liam Miranda
HRC was shocked and saddened to learn of the death of Zakaria Fry, a transgender woman living in New Mexico who had been missing since mid-January.
Fry and roomate Eugene Ray’s bodies were found in the town of Stanley, 40 miles east of Albuquerque, on February 19. Rancher Fidel Montoya found one body in a trash bin along the road, and another body was recovered about two miles away. Police confirmed them to be Fry and Ray on Tuesday, February 27.
Though Montoya reported that he had found a woman’s body — the Santa Fe County sheriff’s office erroneously announced that both bodies were male.
Twenty-eight year old Fry was renting from Ray when they both went missing in mid-January. Ray’s family alerted police after the home was found in “disarray”.
A representative from the Albuquerque Police Department stated that they are investigating the case as a homicide.
Fry’s friends, family and loved ones are sharing their condolences and fond memories of her on her Facebook page. One message, from friend Maddy Wilson, reads: “You were my older sister. You took care of me and loved me like family. I’ll forever love you. I’m sorry.”
Fry is the fifth known case of deadly anti-transgender violence in the U.S. this year. Last year, the HRC Foundation and the Trans People of Color Coalition released a report documenting the senseless acts of violence that made 2017 the deadliest year on record for transgender people, particularly for trans women of color.

Body Found in Lake is Teen Who Went Missing After Grindr Date
Divers searching a lake on Monday found the body of a 17-year-old who had gone missing after making a date with someone on Grindr.
Orlando Boldewij had gone missing in The Hague, Netherlands on February 17.
Authorities announced the discovery at 10:15 p.m. on Monday. An autopsy was scheduled to determine a cause of death. Police made no comments to suggest, or exclude, criminality in the case.
A message to his mother, sent in the first person from his phone just after midnight on the 18th, stated Boldewijn was on his way home. However, the messages were not consistent with other notes written by the teen, AD reported based on interviews with his relatives. Family members declared Boldewijn missing the next day.
“Acting on new information in the investigation, the fire department and police went into the water on Monday afternoon using sonar boats and divers,” police said in a statement.
Police have not yet been able to locate any surveillance video in the area of the disappearance and continue to search for witnesses.
Over this past week the police spoke with Orlando’s family, friends, as well as the man he had a date with in The Hague. The man told the police that he dropped Orlando off on Böttgerwater in the Hague neighborhood of Ypenburg after their date. According to him, Orlando was on his way back to Rotterdam.

SEE YOU IN COURT — LAWSUIT AGAINST STARKVILLE, MISS., FOR DENYING PERMIT FOR LGBTQ PRIDE PARADE: It asserts that action by the city’s Board of Aldermen violated citizens’ constitutional rights to free expression and equal protection. “Everyone deserves to feel protected and celebrated in their community, and we applaud Roberta Kaplan and Bailey McDaniel for being brave enough to challenge the unfair and wrong decision from the Starkville Board of Aldermen,” said Rob Hill, HRC Mississippi state director. “HRC encourages the Board to reconsider its vote instead of wasting time and money to defend its discriminatory actions in court.” More from The Associated Press.

REFLECTING ON MARRIAGE EQUALITY IN ALABAMA: Says HRC Alabama State Director Eva Kendrick (@ewkendrick): “Alabama’s been one of the toughest states when it comes to access to marriage equality because of our marriage code and because the way it’s written for judges to choose to issue licenses or not.” While some bigger cities are granting marriage licenses, couples in some rural areas are forced to travel to places including Birmingham or Montgomery to get a license.
