Tamala Nikki Wells was 33 when she was last seen at her Detroit home on Appleton Street one summer evening in August 2012. A mother of two and a nursing school graduate working in home healthcare, she left around 9:30 p.m. driving a white four-door Pontiac Grand Prix and spoke by phone that night with her mother in Florida; that was their last conversation. She was wearing a white shirt and blue cuffed jean shorts.

Three days later the Pontiac Grand Prix was found abandoned on Coventry Street, not far from her home, with a few articles of clothing inside but no sign of Tamala. Her long-term boyfriend, who lived with her, told police he saw her drive away and said she’d been acting strangely and intended to take care of business and pay him back; he was questioned but never charged. The family says the initial investigation lacked urgency, and relatives and community activists have continued searching and holding events to keep attention on the case.

What information might help locate Tamala or explain what happened that night?
