Patrece Lashelle Alston, known as Trece, was 19 when she vanished from Fort Lauderdale, Florida after being seen getting into a green Mazda with Lucious Boyd on June 23, 1998. She had been living with her sister and helping care for her sister’s children. Described as outgoing and vivacious, Patrece had not packed for an extended trip and was not believed to be romantically involved with Boyd, though they socialized occasionally.

Boyd returned days later but Patrece was never seen again. He gave conflicting accounts, including a claim that she met two men and left with them; witnesses later said they had not seen her after the trip. Investigators suspect foul play and believe Boyd knows the whereabouts of her body. Boyd was later convicted in the murder of Dawnia Dacosta and is suspected in multiple disappearances, and Patrece’s case remains unsolved.

Does anyone from Fort Lauderdale or Winter Haven who remembers June 1998 have information about Patrece or that green Mazda?
