Terri Mozze, 42: Last Seen Getting Into A Taxi In 2001
She lived with Parkinson's disease and reportedly had trouble walking.
The exact circumstances surrounding the disappearance of Terri Mozze are unclear, and like many others, little has been shared about her case. I did my best to find personal information about Terri, her family, her employment, or what she may have been doing in those days before her disappearance, but it did not prove to be fruitful.
What has been shared is that on Saturday, March 3, 2001, Terri Mozze was in New Orleans, Louisiana, and was last seen getting into a taxi. She reportedly had luggage with her and told someone, unknown at this time, that she planned to take a trip.

However, reports also stated that Terri claimed she would be back that weekend, indicating her trip would be short-lived and that she did not intend to stay away for a lengthy period.
Who Terri may have been traveling to see, if anyone, and where she planned to go, remain unclear. The 42-year-old has never been seen or heard from again. It is reported that she has not collected her Social Security benefits. In 2004, Terri was declared legally dead.
It is unknown who reported Terri missing, as are details of the investigation, including whether authorities had a person of interest.
