To look up Foxy Farms, you have to google the following name:
Colorful Harvest/Foxy Produce
E Trapnell Rd

According to what is shown from the link above (google maps) this is what the strawberry farm looks like, entrances, etc..

According to link (Google maps) above, this gives us an idea of the surroundings across from the strawberry farm. It doesn’t seem to be in a busy part of town but there are houses, buildings all around.

And lastly, here are the tracks by the farm on E Trapnell. I assume these are the ones where her car was found, but there may be another set I didn’t see...

Plant City missing woman case to be focus of HCSO's first episode of new cold case podcast

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is launching a cold case podcast, in hopes of shedding some new light on missing persons and unsolved homicide cases dating back decades.

Podcast one will shed more light on the story of Cieha Taylor, the 28-year-old woman who went missing in Plant City six months ago. To mark that dreaded anniversary, her family and friends held a vigil in Plant City Saturday night at the location where officers found her car.

While the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office continues to follow leads, they’re hoping their new cold case podcast, calledUnfinished Business, helps bring answers for families like the Taylor’s.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is releasing Cieha Taylor’s episode of the cold case podcast on Monday, August 10th, on Apple Podcast, Spotify, Google Podcast, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, and on their website.

Family holds vigil for woman missing since February

It's now been six months since 28-year-old Cieha Taylor was last seen.

Canitha Taylor, Cieha’s mother, said she wouldn’t just abandoned her things.

“She had just gotten the car for her birthday in November. She loved the car, the phone, the independence. That’s where we were trying to get her. She was working to try and get things together in her life so it was extremely odd,” she said.

Cieha's mother believes someone out there knows something and that's why she's not giving up hope.

What did happen to Cieha Taylor, and did she leave the car there herself or did someone else? They're questions the Sheriff's Office is still trying to answer.

"At every single avenue, they are just coming up with no answers, so it is too hard for them to say at this point if it is a homicide or if she is still out there," HCSO Public Information Officer Crystal Clark said.

Unfinished Business: Cieha Taylor on Apple Podcasts

This HCSO aired their podcast on Cieha’s case. Chad Chronister is the sheriff and is the main person sharing info throughout the episode.

Wow! Wow! Wow! I mean IMO...quite full of information I wasn’t quite aware of or the sheriff shared details I didn’t know about.

Based on HCSO:
•Cieha was living in Plant City with her on & off boyfriend and his friend.
•Feb 6 around 4pm, Cieha left the house
•LE spoke to the boyfriend, friend, and the friend’s parents. Parents didn’t have much interaction with her, but the two guys stated Cieha was acting strange like she was having a mental crisis.
•LE downloaded info from her phone and interviewed those she last spoke to.
•One person was a friend in Lakeland that Cieha stayed with a lot; she was supposedly on her way to the friend’s house (6th) but never made it. That friend also stated she sounded strange.
•Still Feb 6, a citizen saw her car and called it in to LE; they got out to check and noticed the car was running and that it was facing northbound on tracks
•HCSO & PCPD responded to the scene. The deputy & officer made the decision to move the car since it was obstructing an active railroad line
•Feb 9, the boyfriend’s mother sees the car on the side of road & calls the boyfriend. He comes down to the car and then calls the Lakeland friend; that friend comes down and they decide to drive the car to Cieha’s mom’s house. Oh and they got AAA to unlock it for them.
•10th, LE searches vehicle & collects evidence. Only fingerprints are Cieha’s and people she knows like the boyfriend and friends, etc
•there have been several searches and some leads but they’ve ended up as dead ends.

Finding Cieha
LATEST POST, APRIL 17:
A post including a “refreshed” timeline of what is known was shared this morning. It states the police officer moved the car then locked her belongings in the car. The police officer DID NOT run plates nor try to contact owners of car.

Makes no sense to me why they never ran the plates.. Every officer I know does. Specially a car running... It seems like she was takin "unwillingly" but that's just me. IMO. Or staged? Idk? So many unanswered stuff

Seven years of Dateline's Missing in America: 156 still missing
Cieha Taylor was last seen on February 6, 2020, when she dropped her boyfriend off at home in Plant City, Florida, just a few blocks from a call center where she worked. A few hours later, around 7 p.m., Cieha’s black 2000 Toyota Solaris was found abandoned about a mile away on railroad tracks at East Trapnell Road. The engine was still running. Her belongings, including her cell phone and debit card, were in the car. Cieha’s family told Dateline that about three weeks after Cieha went missing, her shoes were discovered on a drainage pipe alongside the road near the railroad tracks where her car had been found. A flier announcing her disappearance hung on a post next to the shoes. Crystal Clark, the Chief Communications Clerk for Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office would not confirm further details to Dateline, but said “Cieha’s disappearance is still an active an open case” and that they are continuing to investigate. Cieha’s family hopes someone with information will call authorities. They have also set up a Facebook page “Finding Cieha,” with the hope of finding answers in her case. Cieha was last seen wearing a gray, white, blue and red striped dress, possibly with a pink sweater over it. She is described as being approximately 5’6,” and 170 lbs. She has auburn/red shoulder-length hair. Anyone with information on Cieha’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office at 813-247-8200.

Detective Florio’s exact words when describing Cieha’s car being noticed/found again on Feb 9:

“So on the 9th is when the boyfriend's mother comes to drop some belongings off to the friend's house and notices Cieha Taylor's vehicle parked on the side of the road. The mother informs the boyfriendabout it, and he comes up there and says, "Oh, something's wrong. She left the house on Thursday." And they ended up getting in contact with the friend whose house it was in Lakeland. She comes over to the area. The decision was made by the people at the vehicle at the time to drive the vehicle to Dade City where Cieha Taylor's mother lives. They ended up contacting AAA to open the vehicle for them.”

Details of Disappearance
Taylor was last seen in Plant City, Florida on February 6, 2020. She dropped her boyfriend off at his residence on Cowart Road at 4:00 p.m. and left. At 7:00 p.m. her car, a black two-door Toyota Solara with faded paint, was found unlocked and running on the railroad tracks at east Trapnell Road, just west of Jap Tucker Road. This was about a mile from her boyfriend's house. Her belongings, including her debit card and cellular phone, were inside it. There was no sign of her and she has never been heard from again.

Three weeks after Taylor's disappearance, her shoes were found on a drainage pipe near the road where her car had been abandoned, next to a telephone pole that had a missing persons flier about her hanging on it. Taylor's mother believes the shoes were deliberately placed there some time after she went missing; she stated the area had been previously searched multiple times.

It's uncharacteristic of Taylor to leave without warning and her family believes she met with foul play. Her case remains unsolved.

2 Fla. Women Vanished Separately a Year Ago, and a Police-Produced Podcast Aims to Find Them

Cieha's disappearance followed a phone call to a friend in which "she was definitely upset," Det. Joseph Florio.
After leaving the Plant City home where she was living with her boyfriend and another man, Cieha was headed to her friend's home in nearby Lakeland but never arrived.

A passerby later that day spotted a vehicle that appeared to be stalled on a rural railroad crossing and alerted authorities. A deputy and a police officer who responded found the vehicle with its motor running, but only moved it off the tracks and secured it at the roadside — which is where the mother of Cieha's boyfriend saw it parked three days later and recognized it as Cieha's black 2000 Toyota Solaris.


The mother alerted her son, who told her, "Oh, there's something wrong," said Florio. They then called the friend in Lakeland, and ultimately had the car delivered to Cieha's mom.

"As soon as I knew the phone and the keys were in the car," Canitha Taylor told the podcast, "I was worried."

To Note:
The country joined the search to help find Gabby Petito when she went missing, but there are families in the Tampa Bay area that say their daughters are missing too.

“I want to show you where Cieha’s car was found on February 6, 2020, at around 7 p.m.,” Hope Taylor told ABC Action News as she walked down Trapnell Road in Plant City.

“Police received a 911 phone call that there was a car in the middle of the road. Her car was found on these railroad tracks at a 180, her headlights were facing north,” Taylor explained. “Police found her car running, with the driver door open.”

“When the Hillsborough County sheriff's officer got here, they moved my niece's car from the middle of the road right there they drove it and parked it right here,” Taylor said frustrated.

——
In a Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office podcast on August 3, 2020, the detective on Cieha’s case explained, “The fact that a vehicle is obstructing railroad tracks, it's an active CSX line, the decision was made by the officer and the deputy to move the vehicle off the tracks and they secured it on the side of the road.”

Three days later someone told the family they saw her car sitting there and that’s when they filed a missing persons report.

“Forty-eight hours is the time limit on trying to find someone with the most crucial hours. We lost those, and then some,” Cieha’s mother Canitha Taylor said.
