Leah Rachelle Peebles, 23, was last seen on May 22, 2006, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, after moving there earlier that month from Fort Worth, Texas. She had been staying with friends and planned to go on a date with a man she met at a local cafe. Leah left her car at a transmission shop following a minor accident in an area described as notorious for drugs and prostitution and never returned to her friends’ home.

After she disappeared there were unconfirmed reports that Leah was using the alias Mia and working for a pimp known as AJ; those claims were never verified. Her father, John Peebles, traveled across several states searching for her and followed tips and alleged sightings, including possible links to the West Mesa murders, but no definitive leads emerged. John Peebles died in 2013 without learning what happened to his daughter.

Leah remains missing and the case is unsolved. If anyone knew Leah, saw her in Albuquerque around late May 2006, or has information about the alias Mia or the individuals mentioned, please share what you know.
