Fifteen-year-old Sonya Wallace left her Rockdale, Texas, home on February 19, 1999, to walk to a nearby post office and never returned. Her family searched and the community mobilized, but nearly a month later, on March 14, 1999, a civilian found her body in a creek bed off County Road 490 near Coupland in Williamson County.

Her remains were severely decomposed and the manner of death was ruled a homicide. Investigators reported signs of blunt force trauma and believe she was killed soon after her disappearance. Williamson County authorities and the Sheriff’s Cold Case Unit continue to investigate and have suggested someone in the community, possibly a former friend or acquaintance, may know something. A reward has been offered for information that could lead to an arrest.

Who in the Rockdale or Coupland area might have seen Sonya around February 19, 1999, or has information that could move this case forward?
