Detra McGuire was 23 and living in Lake City, Florida, when she disappeared on November 2, 1988. That evening she left her Gatorwood Apartments residence reportedly heading to a convenience store with her two-year-old daughter, Roshanda, but Detra never returned.

Roshanda’s body was found a few hours later on Interstate 10; she had been thrown from a moving vehicle and suffered multiple injuries, including a broken neck, and was pronounced dead at the hospital. Detra’s black 1988 Nissan Sentra was later found abandoned at a truck stop in Columbia County, but there was no sign of her. Authorities questioned Detra’s boyfriend and called him a person of interest, but no charges have been filed in Roshanda’s death or Detra’s disappearance.

The investigation remains open and Detra has not been located. Anyone with information about Detra or the events of November 2, 1988, is asked to contact the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office.
