Trinia Williams was 18 and a new mother when she disappeared from Columbus, Ohio. She was last seen on September 16, 1992, after accepting a ride from an acquaintance who had recently been released from prison; he picked up Trinia and her four-month-old daughter to visit the child’s father, who was incarcerated. The next day the man returned the infant to Trinia’s home but said Trinia had gone to use a payphone and never came back.

At the time she vanished Trinia was described as biracial, 5 feet 11 inches to 6 feet 1 inch tall, 130 to 180 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing blue jean shorts and a Chicago Bulls or Cubs baseball cap. Foul play is suspected; family members say she was a good but naive student who would not have willingly abandoned her baby. Investigators identified a suspect and reports mention a possible love triangle and prior threats against her, but no charges were filed and the man last seen with her is now deceased.

The case remains an active, unsolved missing persons investigation with many unanswered questions. If anyone knew Trinia, her movements that week, or the man who drove her that day, please come forward with information.
