Ella Twyne, a 64-year-old African American woman, vanished from Richmond, Kentucky on March 8, 1994. She was known for wearing comfortable jogging suits, gold hoop earrings, and a gold birthstone ring with a purple stone.

Her car was found abandoned near the Clays Ferry Bridge on Interstate 75 with her purse and other personal items left inside, a detail that suggested robbery was not the motive. At the time she disappeared, Ella had been reported to be experiencing a period of depression, which led some to consider the possibility she might have intended to harm herself, but no conclusive evidence has been made public and the circumstances of her last known movements remain sparse.

Ella’s case went unlisted on national missing persons databases for decades; it was entered into NamUs on September 29, 2022. Few public details are available and the investigation remains open.

If anyone knew Ella, saw her in Richmond in early March 1994, or has information about her car near the Clays Ferry Bridge, please come forward.
