Details of Disappearance
Bell resided in Pensacola, Florida in 2001. She attended Tate High School and was a member of the cheerleading squad. She was popular at school and enjoys dancing and drawing. Bell was last seen at a party on September 30, 2001. She has never been heard from again. Authorities initially believed that Bell left her home of her own accord and classified her case as that of an Endangered Runaway. Her loved ones told investigators that she had friends who may have had a negative influence on her behavior at the time.
Bell was last seen at a party Robert Louis Bassett Jr.'s residence on Cedar Tree Lane in Cantonment, Florida. The witnesses left the party that night, leaving Bell behind with Bassett. Bassett, who was 25 or 26 years old at the time, allegedly threatened another individual after Bell vanished. Investigators stated that the other male told officers that Bassett saw Bell on September 30 and provided Bassett's contact information to law enforcement. Bassett allegedly stalked the individual for several days afterwards. He was arrested sometime after Bell disappeared, but no charges have been filed against anyone in connection with her case. Authorities searched Bassett's residence after his arrest, but officials declined to publicly announce if any evidence was taken from the scene.
Witnesses said that Bell visited a park on the corner of Escambia Avenue and Lakewood Avenue in Cantonment on September 30, 2001. The area where she was seen is near Bassett's house.
Bell's disappearance remains classified as that of a runaway, but foul play is now suspected in her case. She may have traveled to Panama City, Florida; New Orleans, Louisiana; or the state of Alabama. There is also a possibility that Bell remained in the Pensacola area after her disappearance. Some agencies may list September 28, 2001 as the date of Bell's disappearance. Her case remains unsolved.
