Ladana Renee Wiley was 27 when she was last seen on January 1, 2000, in New Boston, Texas. Her mother dropped her at her home about 8:30 p.m.; Ladana appeared nervous and jittery as she got out. Roughly an hour later her mother tried to call and received no answer. She had plans for a birthday celebration the next day but never showed up and has not been seen or heard from since.

Investigators found no signs of forced entry at the residence. Most of Ladana’s personal items, including clothing and makeup, remained, though a set of keys was missing. A search in June 2000 recovered a reddish-brown hair near Lake Wright Patman, but no evidence definitively linked it to Ladana. Her disappearance has raised suspicions of foul play but remains unresolved.

Anyone with information about Ladana’s whereabouts or the events of January 1, 2000, is asked to contact the New Boston Police Department or the Texas Missing Persons Clearinghouse.
