Savannah Hale, 22, a student at Louisiana State University-Shreveport, disappeared in the early morning hours of May 4, 2022. The night before she and her boyfriend had been at Fatty Arbuckle’s in downtown Shreveport and returned to his grandparents’ residence about five and a half miles away. At some point during the night she left the house alone in her gray 2012 Kia Forte.

Electronic tracking and surveillance show she drove between the house and downtown multiple times. At 6:06 a.m. she used a credit card at a Chevron on North Market Street, and at 6:08 a.m. she left a voicemail for her sister sounding normal. The last confirmed sighting was at 7:03 a.m. as she exited the Louisiana Tower Parking Garage on Travis Street. Her phone was turned off after that and has not been reactivated.

Her sister tried to call back at 8:03 a.m., could not reach her, and reported her missing that afternoon after checking the apartment and speaking with Savannah’s boyfriend, who did not know her whereabouts. Law enforcement and volunteer teams, including the United Cajun Navy, searched surrounding waters but neither Savannah nor her vehicle have been found. Few details explain what happened after 7:03 a.m.; anyone who may have seen her car or her that morning is asked to come forward.
