Cherice Maria Ragins was 24 when she was last seen in Catonsville, Maryland, on February 21, 2010. NamUs lists her as missing from the area of Route 40 and Rolling Road. She was described as a Black woman about 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 5 inches tall, about 120 pounds, with black collar-length hair, brown eyes, and a tattoo of her first name Cherice on her neck or throat. When last seen she wore gray sweatpants, a red hoodie, a black jacket with fur around the hood, a black shirt, pink-and-green shoes and carried a black purse trimmed in silver.

In the days before her disappearance she had gone to spend time with her boyfriend, Travis Eugene Elleby. Cherice had no car, bank account, credit cards, or mobile phone; there was no later sign of ordinary life activity after she vanished.

In September 2016 Elleby was indicted in connection with her death; a bench trial resulted in a conviction for second-degree murder and a sentence imposed in February 2018. Cherice’s mother, Clariese Ragins, reported her missing after expecting routine contact that never came, and the family has not recovered her body. If anyone knew Cherice, her routines, or saw her in Catonsville around February 21, 2010, please share what might help explain where she went.
