Summary

Last seen by her mother while she was playing on a front yard swing set at her home at 1:30 p.m. She and her mother lived with Tanisha's great-grandmother in a mobile home in the 2100 block of Thrasher Lane in southeast Austin, Texas. Her mother was sweeping the rug inside their residence and took her eyes off her daughter for a few minutes. When she looked again, Tanisha was gone. Her mother and a neighbor searched for her for two hours before calling the police. A witness reported seeing Tanisha later that day, walking eastbound on Riverside Drive with a slender, bearded man wearing a green Army hat. An extensive search of the neighborhood turned up no sign of Tanisha. She has never been seen again and her companion has not been identified. She was wearing a short-sleeved white pullover shirt, red sweatpants and white sneakers with velcro fasteners. She was two years old at the time. Age-progression photo to age 38 on the right.
