Charity Marie Adkins, 29, was last seen in Toledo, Ohio. Reports differ on the timing: some say August 13, 2009, while a text to her mother on October 14, 2009, is also cited as a last contact. When the person who was to give her a ride arrived at her apartment, the front door was open and the interior was in disarray, a discovery that prompted immediate concern for her safety.
Charity is described as a white female with brown hair and blue eyes, between 5 feet 4 inches and 5 feet 6 inches tall, and 130 to 135 pounds. Distinctive markings include multiple tattoos — Jozlynn on her left shoulder blade, a bible and praying hands on her thigh, a butterfly possibly on her foot, plus tattoos on her chest, ankle, forearms, legs, and back — a pierced tongue and a C-section scar. Family reported she struggled with bipolar disorder and depression and may have been involved in prostitution; a cousin said she was trying to regain custody of her daughter and stabilize her life.
Few investigative details have been released and conflicting reports about her last contact complicate the case. Does anyone in Toledo remember seeing Charity around mid‑ to late 2009 or have information about her apartment that could help clarify what happened?
