Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP122514) and 2 other sources
On June 15, 2017, a 34-year-old woman named Sasha K. Pereira vanished from the Hillside area of Queens, New York. The last known communication from her was a text message sent on that day. After that message, her phone fell silent, and she has not been seen or heard from since. At the time she went missing, Sasha, a female of both Black and Hispanic heritage, was at a point in her life where she was connected to friends and family, making her sudden disappearance a cause for deep concern. The circumstances of what happened after she sent that final text message are unknown, leaving a painful void for those who know and love her.

Sasha is described as being 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing around 132 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Her appearance is distinguished by several unique tattoos and piercings. She has star tattoos on both of her arms, a tattoo of the Brooklyn Bridge on her left ankle, and other unspecified tattoos on her right ankle and right shoulder blade. Additionally, she has a nostril piercing and a Madonna or Monroe-style piercing above her upper lip. In some instances, Sasha has been known to use the alias Tanya Marie Johnson. These distinct features create a memorable image for those who may have information about her whereabouts.

The investigation into Sasha Pereira's disappearance is being handled by the Jersey City Police Department in New Jersey. Despite the passage of time, very few details about the circumstances of her case have been made public, and there has not been significant progress in locating her. The official records of her case offer the basic facts, but the human story of why she disappeared remains untold. The overview of this case is one of painful ambiguity; a woman went about her day, sent a message, and then simply vanished. For her family and community, the days since have been filled with unanswered questions and the enduring hope for a resolution that might bring Sasha home or at least provide some form of closure.
