Whitney Nicole Sanders, 21, disappeared from Jacksonville, Florida, on September 20, 2013. She was last seen leaving Kelly’s Place restaurant on King’s Road at about 1:30 a.m., walking across the street toward an Exxon gas station. A friend got a missed call from Whitney at 5:00 a.m.; she has not been heard from since.

Whitney went by Nicky and Buttercup and had several distinctive tattoos, including Buttercup across her chest and FSL on her leg. She lived in the 4100 block of Fairfax Street and had a history of prostitution-related arrests. Her family says leaving without notifying anyone was out of character. Whitney had been robbed and assaulted about a month before she vanished, and her family believes that incident may be connected.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate and is asking anyone with information to come forward. Did anyone who knew Whitney or was in that area on September 20, 2013, see her or hear anything that could help?
