Mercedes Zaevon Toliver, 18, was last seen around midnight on December 16, 2016, walking away from her mother’s home in the 300 block of Rosston Road in Prescott, Arkansas. After an argument with her mother, she was believed to be headed to her aunt’s house a short, familiar walk away but never arrived. Known to family as Cedes, she wore a red hoodie, a yellow shirt, and grey sweatpants and left with only her cell phone and about $20.

Her family reported her missing when she failed to arrive and could not be contacted. The Prescott Police Department and the Arkansas State Police investigated. The phone could not be tracked because it was turned off, and there has been no social media activity since she disappeared. Early tips placed her possibly in neighboring Clark or Lafayette counties but produced no breakthroughs. Her family continues to make public appeals for information.

If anyone in Prescott or the surrounding counties remembers seeing Mercedes after midnight on December 16, 2016, or has information about her movements that night, please come forward.
