Latonya M. Hill, 22, disappeared from her family’s home in Kansas City, Missouri, on March 20, 2000. She was last seen at the residence near 27th Street and Quincy Avenue telling family she was going to catch a bus downtown with a single dollar for fare and that she’d be back shortly. She never returned.

At the time she vanished Latonya was described as biracial (African American and White), between 5 feet 6 inches and 5 feet 10 inches tall, about 120 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She had both ears and a pierced nose and a tattoo of an unknown design on her right forearm. She was last seen wearing blue jeans and brown sandals. Family members note she had a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia and a history of drug and alcohol problems; those vulnerabilities raised concern and led investigators to consider she might be at elevated risk and that foul play could have been involved.

The Kansas City Police Department investigated but no significant leads have been reported. If anyone knew Latonya, saw her on March 20, 2000, or has information about her movements that day, please share what is known.
