Tawanda Latisha Hill, known to family as Moonlight or Tye, was 27 when she was last heard from in Norfolk, Virginia. Family members’ last contact with her came on November 18, 2009; she has not been seen or heard from since. Her last known whereabouts were in the Bruce’s Park neighborhood of Norfolk.

Tawanda was a mother who reportedly kept in touch with her children on birthdays and holidays. At the time she disappeared there were concerns she might have been about three months pregnant. She lived with schizophrenia and had problems with drug addiction; while she sometimes disappeared for periods because of her mental illness, the complete silence and the break in contact with her children were out of character and prompted immediate worry.

Tawanda is a Black female with black hair and black eyes; she typically wore her hair very short, sometimes in braids or under a wig. The Norfolk Police Department lists her as a missing person and the investigation remains open. If anyone knew Tawanda, her routines, or saw her in the Bruce’s Park area around November 2009, please come forward with information.
