Two-year-old Teekah Lewis vanished from New Frontier Lanes in Tacoma, Washington, on the evening of January 23, 1999. She was last seen playing a racing game in the arcade area, just feet from her mother, Theresa, who turned away briefly to bowl. In the seconds it took a bowling ball to travel down the lane, Teekah was gone. She wore a green Tweety Bird sweatshirt, white sweatpants, and black and white Air Jordan sneakers.

The alley was locked down immediately and an off-duty officer checked vehicles, but the child could not be found. Witnesses later described a maroon or dark Pontiac Grand Am from the late 1980s or early 1990s leaving the lot quickly and a Caucasian man with shoulder-length brown hair, a pockmarked face, a mustache and a husky build seen following a child toward an exit. Lack of physical evidence and no surveillance cameras hindered the early investigation.

Tacoma Police have treated the disappearance as active, followed more than 700 tips, and investigated possible links to prior attempted abductions at the bowling alley. A May 2025 excavation of a Tacoma yard produced no evidence. Teekah’s family continues to seek answers. Did anyone else attend that bowling outing or remember seeing the described car or man that night?
