Phyllis Jean Davis, a 47-year-old Black woman from Detroit, was last seen in the early morning hours of September 20, 2005 (some records index September 19). Her final confirmed sighting was about 1:00 a.m. at a gas station near 6 Mile Road and Conant Street on Detroit’s east side, where an employee reported watching her get into a car with a man who has never been identified. After that, she never returned home or made contact with her family.

At the time she vanished Phyllis was described as about 5 feet 3 inches to 5 feet 5 inches tall, 120 to 130 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and a missing front tooth. She was wearing a multicolored blouse, black pants and sneakers. Family members say she was a mother of two with eight siblings and that she had struggled with crack cocaine addiction for about fifteen years; she had prior arrests related to drugs and prostitution and had entered rehab programs before. Immediately before her disappearance she had reportedly secured a new home and was preparing to enter a treatment clinic.

Law enforcement has classified her as an endangered missing person. The identity of the man she left with and the vehicle’s destination remain unknown, and there have been no public leads that extend her timeline beyond that gas station sighting. Did anyone who lived near 6 Mile and Conant in September 2005 see a woman matching Phyllis’s description or recall a car and driver that night?
