Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP73804) and 9 other sources
Shapammala Latrisha Buckner, a 20-year-old woman, was last seen on May 21, 2017, at her residence in the Forest Pointe Apartments on Northborough Drive in Houston, Texas. She reportedly vanished following an argument with her boyfriend. Buckner, also known as "Pam," has not been heard from since, and her disappearance has left family members and investigators concerned.

At the time of her disappearance, Buckner stood 4'11" and weighed approximately 100 pounds. She was known to wear eyeglasses, and her ears were pierced. Foul play is suspected, though no concrete leads have surfaced in the years following her disappearance. Despite searches conducted by organizations like Texas EquuSearch, her case remains unsolved.

Authorities are urging anyone with information about her whereabouts to come forward. Houston Police are handling the investigation, but progress has been slow due to limited details.
