Theresa Maynette Maxwell, 44, was last seen on her birthday, December 28, 2002, at a Patriot Rentals unit on Testone Lane in Hilliard, Florida. Her disappearance was not reported until April 2, 2003, when a roommate who said she had been living with him for several months alerted authorities.

Investigators noted Maxwell sometimes worked as a prostitute along U.S. 1 in Hilliard when she needed money. There were unconfirmed leads that she might have gone to a hospital in DeFuniak Springs for cancer treatment, but those leads did not produce anything concrete. She also missed scheduled doctor’s appointments after December 28, which heightened concern.

The Nassau County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate. If anyone knew Theresa, saw her around late December 2002, or has information about her whereabouts, please come forward.
