A trip to collect recyclable cans was reportedly the last errand a 45-year-old woman planned before disappearing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on April 25, 2014. LaRessa Ann Robinson was last seen by her partner, Corey Walker, who told authorities she went out to gather cans she could exchange for money to buy cigarettes.

Walker said he last saw LaRessa around 8:30 a.m. that Friday. She never returned, and her whereabouts remain unknown.
