I’ve written this on Our Black Girls more times than I can count, but here it is one more time: The circumstances surrounding this case are unclear. The Doe Network reports that Joyce was last seen getting into a black car.
She is said to have told an unknown person that she was going to Buras, Louisiana, about an hour and 20 minutes away. Who was driving the car isn’t known, and why she traveled to Buras is also a mystery.
She has never been seen or heard from again.
