The Disappearance of LaKisha Taylor

 

LaKisha Taylor has been missing since June 13th, 2008. The then-27-year-old woman was last seen at the residence she shared with her cousin Sandy Stevenson in Lake Charles, Louisiana. On the morning of LaKisha's disappearance, Sandy went out for breakfast, while LaKisha stayed behind. When Sandy returned, LaKisha was gone. She has never been seen or heard from again.

There are many suspicious circumstances surrounding LaKisha's disappearance. There were no signs of forced entry or a struggle at the home. Additionally, it appeared as if LaKisha vanished while in the midst of getting ready for her day. Her freshly ironed clothes were found lying on her bed; the clothes iron was still on and hot. LaKisha's bathtub was also full of water, as if she planned to take a bath. Her personal items - including her wallet, identification, cell phone, and cash were all left behind. 

Foul play has been suspected in LaKisha's disappearance since the onset of the investigation. At one point, her estranged husband was labeled a person of interest, but he has never been arrested or charged with anything related to her disappearance. Years have passed without any real updates in LaKisha's case.

LaKisha remains missing today. Cold case detectives are investigating her case. If you have any information that could help the investigation, please contact the Lake Charles Police Department at 337-491-1311.
