Terry Bass, 39, was last seen in the early morning hours of August 3, 2023, in the Lansingburgh neighborhood of Troy, New York. She had been at a friend’s house and was last seen near 114th Street and 2nd Avenue. Terry is described as a white female, brown hair, hazel eyes, about 5 feet 1 inch and 110 pounds. At the time she vanished she wore a blue tank top and black leggings, has pierced ears, and two distinctive tattoos: the name Nathan surrounded by fire on an upper arm and the name Chad on her back.

Concern grew when she failed to make her usual contact with family; they reported her missing to the Troy Police Department on August 8, 2023. Law enforcement says the case remains an active investigation and a new detective has been assigned to review it. Family members have used social media to keep her story public and are asking for tips. The circumstances of her disappearance after leaving the gathering that morning remain unclear.

If anyone who lived in or visited Lansingburgh that morning or who recognizes Terry or her tattoos has information, please contact the Troy Police Department.
