I wonder if she has any family members still looking for her. I can't find additional info.

What a sad story! I remember that video, but I can't say I remember in enough detail to say which one she was. I hope someone is still looking for her and I hope that they get answers soon!

I couldn't find any additional information on her besides on the For the Lost blog. According to their page on Alishia, her case was closed in 2007 although it didn't say why.

It's weird that they closed her case because even if they verified that she was alive, she would still be listed as a missing person. I've heard several runaway cases where the child contacts their parents/is arrested years after they disappeared and they still are listed as a missing child.

It's strange that this case got so little attention. I'm bumping to see if anyone else can help out.

Bump for twenty-eighth anniversary.
Where are you Alishia

29 years missing. May 2018 be the year she is found.

I recently found Alisha’s case on For The Lost and submitted her to NamUs with the information provided

I can't find her in NamUs. Is she still in your pending section of NamUs (not publicly viewable) or has she been removed? Sometimes missing persons in NamUs can stay "pending" for years after they were submitted.

Poor girl. Why is her case closed? Don't they need proof of life to close a case if someone is listed as missing? Did no one care?

I just came across this case and am curious about it. Hopefully she is alive and well. It does seem her case never made it to NamUs yet is still listed at Doe Network and Charley Project. If she's alive, I believe she could ask law enforcement to request her removal from the sites - or at least that they be marked as resolved.
I feel certain her case isn't one of "no one cares." If we do, someone in LE does too.

This was my friend’s younger sister. I remember when she went missing. The police labeled her a runaway but her family doesn’t think she would take off like that. They never heard anything else from her.

She does. I know the family. They haven’t heard anything from her or about her.

Maybe the family can come on here and get verified. I wonder what they think about police closing her case file.

I'm her youngest living sister and we just celebrated her 48th birthday yesterday and she is still missing. We haven't heard anything from her.

Thank you for commenting. I’m so sorry to hear Alisha is still missing and I hope answers come soon. Has your family had any contact with the police who worked on her case?
