Aminta Lynn Cook, 27, was last seen on May 1, 2001, in Southeast Washington, D.C. An unidentified witness reported seeing her get into a large Mercedes, and the witness thought she might be heading to New York. Her mother reported her missing and authorities were told to check with Monroe County, New York, because she was believed to have traveled there, but no confirmation of her whereabouts after she got into the car has emerged.

At the time she disappeared Cook was between 5 feet 5 inches and 5 feet 8 inches tall, about 110 pounds, with light brown shoulder-length hair and brown eyes. She had tattoos including the name MANN on her upper arm and a band design around her ankle. Very little is known about what happened after she left Washington, D.C.

Did anyone in the Monroe County area or along likely travel routes see Aminta Cook or that Mercedes on or after May 1, 2001?
