Shequenia Burnett was 36 when she vanished from North Little Rock, Arkansas, in early January 2014. Her mother last saw or heard from her on January 9, 2014; the family reported her missing on January 15 after an aunt found Shequenia’s apartment door wide open. Shequenia was a devoted mother and a sketch artist; family noted she had struggled with drug use but said it would be out of character for her to cut off contact with her children.

A close childhood friend, Terkessa Wallace, was reported missing a day after Shequenia. Cell phone records show the two spoke on January 10 and that both phones last pinged the same tower that day, after which all activity stopped. In December 2015 a fisherman found a human leg in the Arkansas River near the Big Dam Bridge; DNA confirmed it was Shequenia’s. No other remains have been recovered, no cause of death can be determined from the partial remains, and no suspects have been publicly identified.

Anyone who knew Shequenia or Terkessa, saw them in North Little Rock around January 10, 2014, or has information about either disappearance is asked to come forward.
