Kenya L Willis was 19 and working at a pancake house in Castleton, Indiana, when she was last seen in June 1994. Her disappearance initially drew no clear suspect, but investigators later focused on a coworker, Eric D. Matthews, as a person of interest.
Two months after Kenya vanished, Matthews’ 18-year-old live-in girlfriend, Christina Darnell, also disappeared and has never been found. Years later Matthews murdered his 20-year-old wife, Lashann Sylve Matthews, in Hammond, Louisiana, in May 1998; she was found bound, gagged, and choked. While fleeing, Matthews abducted and murdered his 17-month-old stepson, James Sylve, whose body was found in a gym bag behind a church. Matthews was never charged in Kenya Willis’s disappearance and no arrests have been made in her case.
Kenya’s disappearance remains officially unsolved and she is still classified as a missing person. If anyone knew Kenya, her routine, or saw her in Castleton in June 1994, can you share information that might help explain what happened to her?
