Mitchelle Deborah Hicks, 25, was last seen in Wharton, Texas on July 12, 2014, leaving an address in the 1000 block of West Spanish Camp and has not been heard from since. Authorities classify her as an endangered missing person and believe she may have been taken against her will.

At the time of her disappearance Hicks was 5 feet 5 inches tall, about 145 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. She has multiple tattoos — on her back, neck, right shoulder, upper right arm, and a written tattoo on the side of her chest — and scars on her left cheek and abdomen. She was last seen wearing a white flowered dress, black tights, and flip-flops. She may use alternate spellings Michele or Michelle, may go by Debra for her middle name, and may also use the last name Hector.

Few details have been released about the investigation. If anyone in Wharton in July 2014 remembers seeing Mitchelle or has information about where she went after leaving West Spanish Camp, please come forward to the Wharton Police Department.
