Often, supporters of OurBlackGirls will send over cases that have occurred in their hometowns, and someone did just that when they asked if I could feature Sonya Tukes.

The outlet spoke with the 22-year-old's family as they mapped out Sonya's last steps and speculated as to how she could have vanished in the middle of the night in 2004 without a trace.
