Unlike most other missing person cases, Toi Mitchell was reportedly last seen six months after she last spoke with someone. It was back in 2001 that anyone reported having contact with the 24-year-old St. Louis, Missouri, resident, but she seemed to have vanished into thin air.

On August 27, 2000, Toi Mitchell was allegedly in contact with an unknown person, and it was the last time she was visibly seen. Details remain scarce in this case, but it’s reported that the last time anyone spoke with her was on February 5, 2001.
What happened during those six months remains a mystery. It’s unclear if no one talked to her during that time or if she seemed distressed during her last conversation. Investigators reportedly don’t believe that she’s voluntarily missing, and they’re treating Toi as an endangered missing person. Agencies are conflicted over Toi’s missing person date, with some citing 2000 and others citing 2001.
