Lacambria Deonshay Toomer was 23 and a mother when she was last seen in Albany, Georgia, on August 15, 2022. She was with her baby’s father, truck driver Ryan Cooper. Cooper initially told investigators he dropped her at a Love’s Truck Stop in Cordele, Georgia, but authorities later determined that statement was untrue. Her family heard nothing from her after that date and her phone showed no activity. The disappearance was not reported to the Albany Police Department until August 24, 2022.

The investigation uncovered a history of domestic violence between Toomer and Cooper, including a 2021 indictment alleging he pointed a gun at her and threatened to shoot her and separate allegations he struck and bit her. Evidence developed by the Dougherty County District Attorney’s Office led investigators to suspect foul play and to conclude she was killed in Dougherty County. In 2024 Cooper was charged with murder and related offenses; Lacambria’s remains have not been found and searches have continued. Her family has held celebrations of life while seeking answers and a proper burial.

If anyone knew Lacambria’s movements in mid-August 2022 or saw her after August 15, please come forward with information.
