Artdrunetta Lareann Hobbs, 23, disappeared from her Atlanta home in the 2600 block of Butner Road in the late afternoon of a summer day. She was last seen at about 4:00 p.m. after spending the day at Greenbriar Mall, having lunch, and receiving a phone call from an acquaintance. Known to family as Dirty, Dread, or Punkin, she was a culinary arts student at Atlanta Technical College with three classes left to complete her degree.

When Artdrunetta vanished her gold 1995 Toyota Avalon with tinted windows and Georgia plate AGY 6585 was missing. The car was later found burned and abandoned on Fulton Industrial Boulevard, a development that led investigators and the family to fear foul play. Searches prompted by tips included one at Melvin Drive Park where more than 100 volunteers joined and one of her shoes was recovered. Partial human remains found near railroad tracks at the park edge, not far from where the car was located, were later determined not to be a match.

Her mother, Tonjala Harris, has led searches and publicly appealed for information. Atlanta police have said there is a suspect in custody on unrelated charges, but without Artdrunetta’s remains the case remains unresolved. If anyone knew Artdrunetta, saw her Avalon, or has information about that summer day, please come forward.
