Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP74808) and 1 other source
In the winter of 1991, a young girl's disappearance from Manhattan, New York, began a long and sorrowful mystery. Twelve-year-old Ebony Turer, a Black female with black hair and brown eyes, was last seen on February 24, 1991. At the time of her disappearance, she was approximately 5 feet tall and weighed around 120 pounds. The last known description of her attire included a red and gray windbreaker jacket, a black blouse, blue jeans, and blue sneakers. Her case was reported to the New York City Police Department's Missing Persons Squad, who initiated an investigation into her whereabouts.

Details surrounding the specific circumstances of Ebony's disappearance remain limited in public records. The absence of comprehensive information has made it challenging for those who continue to seek answers. Over the years, her case has been a source of quiet anguish for those who remember the young girl who seemingly vanished without a trace. The lack of significant developments has left a void in the narrative of her life and the events leading up to that fateful day in February.

The investigation into Ebony Turer's disappearance is a quiet but persistent reminder of a life interrupted. Without new leads or information coming to light, the case has grown cold, yet the hope for resolution endures for those who have not forgotten her. The overview of this case is one of profound uncertainty, a story marked by the sudden and unexplained absence of a child. It serves as a somber testament to the lasting impact of a missing person on a community and the enduring pain of not knowing.

Last Seen: Feb 24, 1991
