Latoya Tee Brown was 21 and living between her mother’s and aunt’s homes in Northport when she was last seen on April 26, 2011. Described as tall (reported between 6 feet 1 inch and 6 feet 3 inches) and a Northridge High School graduate, she had tattoos of the name Toya on her lower back, angel wings on the back of her neck, and a Virgo sign on her foot. On April 26 she left with a friend to get something to eat; later that afternoon she met her aunt at a nail salon, received money, and was seen getting into a vehicle with someone waiting outside.

Latoya’s cell phone was last active in the Rosedale area of Tuscaloosa, with a call placed minutes before the catastrophic tornado that struck the region on April 27, 2011. The shopping center she planned to visit was in the storm’s path. Hundreds were initially reported missing after the tornado and most were later located, but Latoya was not found. Investigators and the family learned she had worked as an exotic dancer and sometimes traveled for work; a possible sighting by her younger sister at a west Tuscaloosa nightclub was never confirmed. The circumstances of her disappearance remain unresolved.

Did anyone in the area know Latoya, see her around April 26–27, 2011, or have information about her movements before the tornado?
