April Michele Pickens was 29 and a mother of five when she disappeared from her home at the Pisgah View Apartments in Asheville, North Carolina. She was last seen on December 27, 2011; she did not own a car and told her sister she was expecting a male friend to pick her up, though she did not identify him. She left the apartment that day and has not been seen or heard from since.

April is described as a Black female, 5 feet 4 inches, about 155 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Distinctive marks include a tattoo of the name Eric on her upper back, Chinese characters on her left breast, a Gemini symbol on her right thigh, a scar on her upper right arm, and pierced ears. The Asheville Police Department lists her as an active unsolved missing person’s case. Her family says she would not have willingly abandoned her five children; a reward has been offered for information.

Who knew April’s movements that day or the person she expected to meet?
