A silver Ford Taurus with tinted windows is one of the few potential clues in the disappearance of a Florida woman who has been missing since 2002. According to records, Katrina Yvette Everett may have been abducted by two people, although investigators have not publicly explained what evidence supports that possibility.

The 29-year-old, also known as “Trina,” was last seen on the morning of January 29, 2002, at a relative’s residence near the 9400 block of North 15th Street in Tampa, Hillsborough County, Florida. She has not been heard from since.

The Black and Missing Foundation identifies a Black man and woman as the possible abductors. The vehicle associated with the account was a silver 2000 or 2001 Ford Taurus.

However, publicly available information does not establish whether anyone witnessed Katrina being taken, how the vehicle was connected to her disappearance, or whether the two individuals were ever identified.

The Charley Project also documents the possible abduction, but no subsequent sightings or significant investigative developments have been publicly confirmed. Katrina remains classified as an endangered missing person.

A young California woman remembered for her lively personality has been missing for more than three decades. Shelli Marie Prince was 25 when she disappeared from Ontario, a city in San Bernardino County, on March 26, 1995. Her disappearance was considered suspicious, but investigators have not publicly explained what happened during her final known hours.

The Black and Missing Foundation describes Shelli as someone who was “full of life” and had a bubbly personality. Although her case has been classified as an involuntary disappearance, the available records do not identify where Shelli was last seen within Ontario, whom she may have been with, or the circumstances that prompted suspicions of foul play.

The California Department of Justice continues to list Shelli as missing, with the Ontario Police Department responsible for her investigation. No arrests or significant investigative developments have been publicly documented.

A friend alerted authorities that a New Jersey woman had disappeared. By the time Nakita M. Williams was reported missing on January 27, 2025, more than five weeks had passed since her last recorded contact. The 36-year-old was last seen on Bergen Street in Newark, Essex County, but the circumstances leading to her disappearance have not been publicly explained.

According to a February 2025 report by Patch, Newark authorities were searching for Nakita and identified several places she was known to frequent. These included Scheerer Avenue near Hunterdon Street and the 500 block of Elizabeth Avenue.

Police described Nakita as wearing a green bubble coat, blue jeans, and white Nike sneakers. Her black hair was styled in two round ponytails. Investigators did not say who last saw her, where she was headed, or whether anyone heard from her after she left Bergen Street.

A handwritten message in a high school yearbook has stayed with a Louisiana woman searching for her missing friend. Michelle Daniel remembers Tova Jaileau Barnett as a quiet girl with a distinctive laugh, someone she met while attending a small private school. In 2023, Daniel revisited an old yearbook inscription from Tova that ended with six words: “Don’t forget about your girl.”

It was a memory Daniel shared with BRProud while discussing her efforts to bring renewed attention to Tova’s disappearance. The 19-year-old vanished from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in December 2000, and investigators have never publicly established what happened to her.

According to information previously documented in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs), Tova was last seen with her girlfriend on December 2, 2000. The record does not identify the woman or explain where they were together before Tova disappeared.

A white T-shirt, blue jeans, and a gold necklace are among the few details documented about the day a South Carolina teenager disappeared. Donna Shareen Wright was 17 years old when she was last seen in Beech Island, a community in Aiken County, on June 28, 1989. Publicly available records do not establish where she was going, whom she may have encountered, or what happened afterward.

Donna came from a large family with 13 siblings. According to The Charley Project, 12 of her siblings were still living when the case information was documented. Her mother died in 2005, more than 15 years after Donna vanished.

In September 2023, The Aiken Standard listed Donna among eight people missing in Aiken County. Her disappearance remains unresolved.

A young college student who worked overnight shifts at John F. Kennedy International Airport disappeared during an uncommon evening away from her usual routine. Stacy A. Pennant had gone to see a movie with a coworker before dropping him off in Brooklyn, New York, on February 9, 1995. She was expected to return to her mother’s home in Queens, but the 21-year-old never arrived.

Her newly purchased blue Honda Civic also vanished. Investigators have not located either Stacy or her vehicle, leaving them without a confirmed account of what happened after she drove away from her friend’s neighborhood.

Born and raised in Jamaica, Stacy graduated from Arden High School in Kingston before relocating to New York City with her mother in 1992. They settled in Laurelton, Queens, where Stacy enrolled at Queensborough Community College to study business. She maintained excellent grades while working full-time as a cargo agent for Delta Air Lines at Kennedy Airport.

Her mother, Deva Walters, described a responsible young woman whose days largely revolved around school and work. Going out socially was unusual for Stacy, making her disappearance particularly troubling to those who knew her.

When a Hampton police detective spoke with Amy Collins about an unrelated investigation in 2011, she brought up the younger sister her family had been searching for since 1982. Mary Everette Harrison disappeared from her home in Hampton, Virginia, leaving four daughters behind. Nearly three decades later, Detective Randy Mayer reopened her missing person file to determine whether she had left any trace of her whereabouts.

Mary was 31 when she vanished from the family’s two-bedroom house on Shell Road in October 1982. Her daughters, ages 6 to 12, woke up to find their mother gone. She had left no note, and her purse remained at the house. New clothes with price tags still attached hung in her closet. She also didn’t have a vehicle.

The girls were accustomed to their mother’s occasional absences, which sometimes lasted several days. However, she always returned. Her oldest daughter, Sherrena Harrison, initially believed Mary had simply left briefly to run errands.

“I thought she went to the corner store and she would be back,” Sherrena recalled during a 2011 interview with the Daily Press.

Mary was never seen or heard from again.

Family and friends gathered for a vigil in October 2026 to mark one year since a Northern California teenager disappeared after leaving her grandmother’s home. Morgan Amina Crenshaw was 17 when she traveled from Antioch to Oakland in September 2025. Her cellphone was eventually found along an Oakland street, and investigators later recovered a vehicle seen in surveillance footage involving Morgan. However, the high school student has never been located.

In an October 5 report by KTVU, authorities confirmed they had identified persons of interest, though they had not announced any arrests.

Morgan’s older sister, Jaionyi Kennard, previously described her as an uplifting young woman who could make people happy even when they were having a difficult day. She was a straight-A student who planned to pursue a nursing degree after graduating from high school.

“You can’t sit around her and be sad,” Kennard told NBC Bay Area.

The sisters typically spoke at least every other day. When Morgan stopped responding, her family feared something had happened to her.

Harvard Drive in Greenville County, South Carolina, is the last known location associated with Kathy Tutein’s disappearance. The 55-year-old woman was last seen in the area on March 31, 2018, but investigators have also considered that she may have traveled to Florida afterward. Still, investigators have not confirmed whether she ever reached the state, and her whereabouts remain unknown.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has issued an alert for Kathy, but authorities have not identified a specific city or location she may have gone to. Available information does not indicate whether she traveled alone or arranged to stay with someone.

There is also a discrepancy in the dates associated with her disappearance. The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) records March 31, 2018, as her last contact date, while Florida’s missing person alert lists December 3, 2021. Neither record explains the difference, though both identify Greenville as the place she disappeared from.

Whenever Terrell Sallet visited Florida, his sister would sometimes send him home with a song. Altomease Sallet had a beautiful singing voice, although she rarely performed publicly, and Gladys Knight’s “Midnight Train to Georgia” was one of her favorites. The siblings also kept up the tradition of calling each other on their birthdays, no matter the distance. In 2001, Terrell never received his usual call.

His sister disappeared on June 28, 2001, after leaving the Cady Bag Company in Pearson, a small town in Atkinson County, Georgia. Altomease was 37 and finished work around 11:00 p.m. She lived with her mother and brother at the family’s old home in Nicholls, in neighboring Coffee County.

Altomease also had a daughter who was approximately 7 or 8 years old at the time. The little girl has since grown up and become a mother herself, according to Terrell, who spoke with WALB in June 2026. Their family still has no confirmed account of what happened to Altomease that night.

When the 12-year-old didn’t return to her West Baltimore home, her mother believed she had gone to stay with an aunt. Melody Gwen McKoy often spent time with the relative, so her absence didn't immediately raise alarm. However, when the sixth-grader failed to attend school on December 2, 1991, her whereabouts became a concern.

Melody was a student at Harlem Park Elementary School, where she earned good grades and maintained a strong attendance record. She lived with her family in the 300 block of North Mount Street in Baltimore, Maryland, and relatives described her as someone who would not leave without telling anyone.

Her mother reported Melody missing on December 3, approximately two days after she was last seen at a friend’s apartment in the 300 block of Fremont Avenue. Investigators eventually classified her disappearance as a suspected nonfamily abduction.

Ten-year-old Gabrielle Patricia Terrelonge was last confirmed to be with her mother at a Greyhound bus stop near the Florida Mall in Orlando, Florida, on June 30, 2025. One week later, her mother was reportedly seen boarding another bus alone. However, Gabrielle was not reported missing until October, when her father discovered that her mother had been arrested in Broward County.

By then, the little girl affectionately known as “Gabby” had been out of contact with her family for months. Her father, Gordon Terrelonge, had been searching for her and her mother, Passha Bianca Davis, after losing contact with them earlier that year. When he learned Davis was incarcerated, he contacted the Margate Police Department to ask who was caring for his daughter. Officers could not account for Gabrielle’s whereabouts.

According to CBS News Miami, Gordon described his daughter as a vibrant but sometimes shy child who loved bright pink and dressing like a princess. She also enjoyed coloring and tea parties, and although she was cautious around unfamiliar adults, she was comfortable talking with other children.

Her family has spent more than a year trying to find her, while investigators work to establish what happened during the months she was unaccounted for.

While police searched from helicopters, a mother and her neighbors combed the grounds of their east Dallas apartment complex. Ten-year-old Tasha Shante Wright disappeared on October 14, 1989, after delivering a message from her mother to another resident of the Valley Glen Apartments sometime between 10:30 and 10:50 a.m. The neighbor confirmed that Tasha arrived, but the little girl never made it back to her own apartment.

More than 100 officers searched for Tasha, a fourth-grade student at Bayles Elementary School. The investigation eventually grew beyond the apartment complex, but authorities found no trace of the missing child. More than three decades later, her disappearance remains unsolved.

Tasha lived with her family at the Valley Glen Apartments on Hollybush Drive near Ferguson Road in Dallas, Texas. She was enrolled in her school’s gifted and talented program and enjoyed music, dancing, and swimming.

A missing teenager’s family spent nearly three decades searching for answers, unaware that her remains had been recovered just a short distance from their Pennsylvania home. In June 2026, advancements in forensic DNA technology finally established that a young woman found murdered in a vacant Wilkinsburg residence in 1999 was Genelle Princess Bradford, an honor student whose disappearance had been classified as a possible runaway case.

The identification has renewed an investigation into her killing and brought scrutiny to how the original case was handled. Genelle’s younger brother, Richard Bradford, has questioned why investigators never connected his missing sister to the unidentified woman discovered in their neighborhood. A former detective assigned to the investigation has since alleged that investigators submitted the wrong dental records for comparison, further complicating the circumstances surrounding the 27-year delay.

Although Genelle’s identity has been confirmed, authorities have not announced an arrest in her murder.
