Sonya Yvette Bender was 23 when she vanished from Palatka, Florida. She was last seen on March 18, 1986, leaving her family home on a bicycle and never returning. At the time she was described as 5 feet 6 inches tall, about 110 pounds, with black hair.

Her disappearance is sudden and unexplained; there has been no confirmed contact or trace of her since that day. The case remains open and Sonya is listed in national missing persons databases such as NamUs. Family and authorities continue to seek new leads after decades without significant developments.

If anyone knew Sonya, saw her on March 18, 1986, or has information that could help, please come forward.
