Twalier Jenkins Missing Person Case

Twalier “Tali” Jenkins was a 33-year-old Black woman who was last seen in Wilmington, Delaware, on September 7, 2012. NamUs lists her case as Missing Person / NamUs #MP21302 and identifies the date of last contact as September 7, 2012, with the missing-from location in Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware. The case is handled by the Delaware River and Bay Authority Police, with NamUs listing Delaware River and Bay Authority Police as the investigating agency.

According to the publicly available case details, Twalier was witnessed jumping from the Delaware Memorial Bridge. The Charley Project reports that her body has never been recovered and that she is presumed deceased, while NamUs continues to list the case under its missing-person case number. This means the available public information describes a deeply tragic disappearance in which there has not been a recovered body publicly documented in the listed sources.

Twalier was described as 5 feet 5 inches tall and approximately 200 pounds. She had black hair and brown eyes. The Charley Project also notes that her ears were pierced and that she may have used the last name Pennix. At the time she disappeared, she was reportedly wearing a full-length brown or red dress. These details remain important because they preserve identifying information about her as a person, not only as a case file.

Public listings for Twalier’s case are brief, and the circumstances are described in only a few words across major missing-person sources. Uncovered’s case page repeats the NamUs-based account that she was witnessed to jump from the Delaware Memorial Bridge and lists her age at the incident as 33, her race as Black / African American, her gender as female, and her physical description as 65 inches tall, 200 pounds, with black hair.

The case has remained publicly associated with the Delaware River and Bay Authority Police Department. The Charley Project lists the agency phone number as 302-571-6398, and NamUs identifies the official case as MP21302. For Twalier’s loved ones, the absence of a recovered body leaves a painful lack of finality, and the public record reflects a case marked by loss, uncertainty, and the continued importance of remembering her with dignity.
