Philiss Ann Crockett, 39, disappeared in late summer 2007 after being given a ride from her LaSalle Parish home to a convenience store on Highway 165 at the LaSalle–Caldwell parish line. She had gone to meet an unidentified person; after the friend dropped her off she was never seen or heard from again. Her mother reported her missing to the Caldwell Parish Sheriff’s Office ten days after the last confirmed sighting.

Philiss was living at a residence east of Olla when last seen. She is 5 feet 6 inches, about 110 pounds, with brown hair, blue eyes and a scar on her left cheek. Her three children describe her as loving, outgoing and devoted to helping others, and say she would not have voluntarily abandoned them. Both the Caldwell and LaSalle Parish Sheriff’s Offices have been involved in the investigation, which has produced many leads but no resolution.

Does anyone who knew Philiss, lived near the Highway 165 convenience store, or was in the area east of Olla in 2007 have information that could help bring her family answers?
