Alishia Dachone Miller was 13 when she left her family’s home in the Outer Drive–Chalmers area of Detroit at about 5:00 p.m. on January 4, 1989, to walk to a nearby store and never returned. She is described as a Black female, 5 feet 5 inches tall, about 115 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes; several listings note her hair was gelled down with short bangs and she had a scar on the right side of her lower back.

Witness descriptions of her last clothing vary slightly but list a multi-colored ski jacket, a black and red sweater, acid-washed jeans, and yellow and white gym shoes. Early investigators classified the case as an endangered runaway, but no evidence ever supported that theory and the family reports no contact since she vanished.

Does anyone have memories of the Outer Drive–Chalmers area in January 1989 or information that might help Alishia’s family?
