Tracey Turner, 26: Went Missing In 1995 Or 1996 From St. Louis
The exact date when she was last seen remains a mystery.
It is always interesting to come across cases where no one is quite sure when someone has gone missing. I've reported on quite a few cases with this problem, and it is an issue that plagues investigators looking into Tracey Turner.
Investigators can’t determine if the 26-year-old was last seen in March of ‘95 or March ‘96.

It’s also unclear how or why she was determined missing—meaning, who reported Tracey as a missing person or the identities of the people who may have seen her last haven’t been shared.
However, it has been reported that a friend of Tracey’s stated that before she disappeared, they last saw Tracey getting into a vehicle with a man. Neither the description nor the identity of the man has been shared. The friend has since passed away, leaving the circumstances regarding Tracey’s disappearance even more puzzling.
Like many other stories at OBG, nothing is known about Tracey, her personal and professional lives, or her romantic relationships. She has never been seen again, and her case has grown cold.
