Marlisha Imani Love, 23, was last seen in St. Louis on January 6, 2023, after telling her mother she planned to visit a friend. She is a Black woman, about 5 feet 5 inches and 175 pounds, with brown eyes and long cornrowed black hair. Family report she would not normally go silent; her mother filed a missing persons report with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department on January 9, 2023, after three days without contact and calls going straight to voicemail.

Accounts differ about what happened that day. A friend who was with Marlisha said she was dropped off at the White Castle at Delmar and Kingshighway and then got into the passenger side of an older white Chevrolet Suburban. Other reports describe a silver older Chevrolet Silverado with a white camper shell. Surveillance footage from the White Castle parking lot reportedly does not confirm the friend’s account that Marlisha entered a vehicle. Few public details have been released and it is unknown if there are any persons of interest.

Marlisha has distinctive tattoos, including a full sleeve on her right arm and hand, a full sleeve on her left leg, neck tattoos, chest lip prints, and a collarbone tattoo showing a key with the name Terriona. If anyone has information about Marlisha’s movements on January 6 or the vehicle seen that day, please come forward.
