Tejin Rafael Thomas, a 17‑year‑old Asian female from Bethesda, Maryland, was last seen leaving her home on the evening of January 3, 2016. Family reported she left messages at home with suicidal content saying she intended to drown herself in the Potomac River, and she is believed to have taken an Uber from the 5200 block of Belvoir Drive that night wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt, blue workout pants and carrying a duffel bag.

Some of Tejin’s personal items were recovered in and near the Potomac in the days after she went missing, but her body has never been located. She was about 5 feet 8 inches tall and 125 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, and had been a student at The Maret School. Montgomery County Police’s Special Victims Investigations Division led the search and sought the Uber driver who transported her that night; no confirmed sightings or significant public leads have been reported.

Does anyone have information about the Sangamore Road area of western Bethesda on the night of January 3, 2016, or about the Uber trip that could help explain what happened after she was dropped off?
