Tonya Michelle Herrington, 20 and five months pregnant, was last seen in Wisner, Louisiana, on the evening of June 7, 1996. A witness placed her around 10:30 p.m. in the parking lot of Sweet’s bar where she was chatting with friends. She did not report for work at her mother’s store the next day.
Three days after she vanished, her champagne-colored 1987 Oldsmobile was found parked and locked behind a garage beside the bar; her keys and purse were not in the car. Tonya’s mobile home still had the lights on, rented movies on the floor and her prenatal vitamins left behind. No clothing or other personal items appeared to be missing, and she reportedly did not have credit cards or cash with her.
Described as a white female, 5 feet 7 inches, about 130 pounds, with strawberry blonde hair, green eyes, a scar on the inside of her right thigh, a cheek scar and a mole on her neck, she was last seen wearing a t-shirt and shorts and known to wear a panda coin ring, a Wisner High School ring and an engagement ring. The Tensas Parish Sheriff said she may have been seen later that night at another bar in the western part of the parish.
Does anyone who lived in Wisner or western Tensas Parish in June 1996 remember seeing Tonya or her car that week?
