Lynitta Bouviere Hargray, 40, disappeared from Tallulah, Louisiana, in early 2005 while renting a room on the 400 block of Askew Street. The last-contact date is uncertain, but her disappearance is officially noted as on or around February 1, 2005. A package mailed to her residence in early February was returned to sender, which is the clearest contemporaneous sign she was no longer at that address.

Lynitta is described as a Black female, 5 feet 10 inches and 275 to 300 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair usually worn in braids. Distinguishing features include pierced ears, a small scar in the middle of her forehead, hammer toe on both big toes, and an unspecified medical condition that contributed to concern for her safety. There are no confirmed details about what she was wearing or what personal belongings she had when she vanished.

The Tallulah Police Department is handling the investigation, and the case is classified as endangered missing. There has been an unpublicized suggestion she might be in the Miami, Florida, area, but no widely reported leads are available. If anyone knew Lynitta’s routines, associates, or saw her around Tallulah or elsewhere in early 2005, please share information with the Tallulah Police Department.
