Her family says she had moved from Kentucky to Valdosta for a fresh start and that it would be out of character for her to cut off contact with her children. Investigators believe she was last at her River Lane home and that it appeared she left in a hurry.

Authorities say leads developed after her disappearance were cleared, and detectives later put a hold on her finances; she failed to collect a check in July 2018, which increased investigators’ concern. At the time she went missing she was described as a Black woman, 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, 130 to 150 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Distinctive tattoos include Tyrique on her left breast, Libra on her left thigh, a Tweety bird on her right thigh, Tyrahea and Tyraji on the top right wrist, Bossy on the lower back, and a tattoo on the right side of her neck.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Valdosta Police Department at 229-293-3103. Did anyone in Valdosta know Tareaha, her routines, or who she was spending time with in April 2018?
