====================
PEOPLE:
1. Tonya Michelle Allbritton Herrington, Nickname: T-90 (Missing) (b)
2. Brad Herrington (Husband/Spouse - 33yrs old)(b)
3. Sherri Braswell (Mother)
4. Lisa Allbritton Sherman (Aunt)(c)
5. Nicole Swartwout (Friend, 23yrs old)(b)
6. Jimmy Neatherly (Caldwell Parish, Private Investigator)(b)
7. Steve Pylant (Franklin Parrish Sheriff at time of disappearance)(b)
8. Jeff Britt (Tensas Parish Sheriff, where Sweet's bar was located, at the time of disappearance.)
======================
I came across Tonya's case in the, Louisiana Repository for Unidentified and Missing Persons Database (FACES). Why I ran across her profile is irrelevant; however, I felt compelled to post her disappearance details here on WS for several reasons.
First of all, what really struck me about Tonya's case was:
1) She was around my age (just a bit younger), and mist females around our age are familiar with 'Glamor Shots' photos, which were quite popular back at that time. So, I think that her Glamor Shots pic initially caught my eye. Although I never took one as they weren't my cup of tea. Regardless, because of that and other aspects, I identified, or at least, empathized with her. (a)
2)At the time of her disappearance, she was 5 1/2 MONTHS PREGNANT! (a)
3)She disappeared from a VERY SMALL TOWN (Wisner, LA, in Franklin Parish, approximate population of 1,400 people at the time). To put how small of a town, Wisner, LA was the time of her disappearance, Wisner only had one grocery store.(b)
4) Plus, if you look at Google Maps, you'll see, that this was a small town with pretty much NOTHING but a whole lot of green around it, and is not exactly right off any highway either, so it wasn't a place that should have had a lot of transient traffic.
5) There was a history of domestic violence between Tonya and her husband, Brad. (b)
6) According one of the articles listed below, I believe it was the detective who stated that, Tonya's astranged husband (they were seperated at the time of her disappearance, with Tonya staying at her mother's mobile home), was reportedly out of town in the south working, during the time of Tonya's disappearance.
