The teen visited her stepbrother's girlfriend & was never seen again.

Aneshia Harris was a 19-year-old student in the Motor City when she mysteriously vanished all those years ago. Once again, like many of these cases, there isn't much known about Aneshia, her life, or her family. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that there has been any movement on her case since its inception. Where she attended school hasn't even been shared.
