Misty McGugin was 22 when she vanished from the Mobile, Alabama area in late January 1998. She was last seen by family on Friday, January 30, 1998, after dropping her two-year-old son at her grandmother’s home in Chickasaw for the weekend; she failed to pick him up Monday morning and was reported missing on February 4. Her abandoned car was later found in the parking lot of Drifter’s Lounge on the Causeway in Baldwin County.

Investigators learned she had worked for an escort service under the name Tosha, a lead that eventually connected her disappearance to other violent crimes. After the arrest of Gerald Patrick Lewis in April 1998, he confessed to killing Misty in a motel room in late January or early February. Lewis said he strangled her with a rope, stabbed her, wrapped the body in a tarp, placed it in her car, and disposed of it in a wooded area in Daphne near Baldwin County Road 66. Decomposition prevented the medical examiner from determining an exact cause of death, but a nylon rope in her hair and cuts on her sweater were consistent with strangulation and stabbing.

Does anyone have information about Misty’s movements in Mobile or Baldwin County around January 30, 1998?
