Sunny Jone Sramek was 18 when she vanished from Trenton, Nebraska, on April 20, 2019. She was last seen traveling in a white 2004 Ford Explorer with Iowa plate HGJ341, reportedly with Floyd Clifford Cliff Coates Jr. Sunny had brown hair, blue eyes, a feather tattoo with the letters FLY on her left shoulder, a red tribal sun tattoo on her right ankle, and several scars including marks on her right shoulder and forehead. She called her mother from a borrowed phone around 12:45 p.m. saying she was in Holdrege; after that call her family never heard from her again.

Early public reports said the trip was meant to be a day trip to Omaha. Coates later gave varying accounts of what happened, saying at different times he left her outside a casino or at a gas station and that he did not notify police or Sunny’s family. Federal prosecutors later presented testimony and forensic evidence alleging Coates and an associate, Dennis Lawson, were involved in concealing what happened to Sunny; Sunny’s DNA and a significant amount of blood were found in the Ford Explorer. Missing-person listings continue to seek information and a reward has been offered for information leading to Sunny’s recovery or to an arrest and conviction of those responsible.

Does anyone have information about Sunny’s movements on April 20, 2019, or recall seeing that white Ford Explorer?
