Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP21491) and 4 other sources
In the winter of 1994, a 27-year-old woman named Tracey Collington seemingly vanished. She was last seen around noon on December 4th in the Queens borough of New York City. Specifically, she was in the vicinity of the 2800 block of Mott Avenue when she disappeared. At the time she went missing, Tracey was described as a Black/African American female, standing at 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighing approximately 110 pounds. She had black hair and brown eyes.

The circumstances surrounding Tracey's disappearance remain shrouded in mystery, with very few details ever being made public. The lack of information has made the investigation challenging for the New York City Police Department's Missing Persons Squad, which has been handling her case since it was reported on the same day she was last seen. Despite the passage of time, her case has remained open, a lingering question for her loved ones and the community.

Decades have passed since Tracey Collington was last seen, and her case has grown cold. Her family has endured years of uncertainty, holding onto hope for answers. Despite the limited public information, law enforcement continues to encourage anyone who might have any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to come forward. The overview of this case is one of an unfortunate and abrupt disappearance with a scarcity of leads, leaving a family without closure and a community with a long-unsolved mystery.
