A Texas girl is still missing more than 36 years after vanishing near her home.
Tasha Wright, 10, was last seen walking to a neighbor’s Dallas apartment on October 14, 1989. According to The Doe Network, Wright went to the neighbor’s to deliver a message from her mother, but never returned.
Following Wright’s disappearance, an unsubstantiated report surfaced about her being spotted in the breezeway of a nearby apartment before her disappearance. Meanwhile, others claimed they saw her staring at some bushes 30 feet from her apartment before she went missing.
A search involving helicopters and dogs turned up no sign of Wright. Residents also combed a five-mile radius and could not find the girl.
Wright was described as standing 4 feet, 11 inches tall, weighing71 pounds, and having black hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing an aqua blue shirt, aqua blue shorts, and brown slip-on sandals.
Wright would be 46 today. Anyone with information regarding her whereabouts should call Dallas police at 214-671-4268.
Wright’s case is being covered as part of Crime Online’s “Finding the Lost: Black and Missing” series, which will feature a missing Black person every day in February. The full series can be read here.
