I hope she's found safe soon and that her family has good support.

Sadly there is discussion regarding whether this Doe could be Tamicka. Hopefully not.

When they stopped, she got out and walked away.

What? So she just got out of the car and no one ever saw her again? I have a hard time believing that her parents didn't follow her or ask for more explanation when she got out of the car.

I wonder why she asked them to stop the car, where she said she was going, etc. It sounds like information is being kept close to the vest, which is understandable.

Rooting for Tamicka to call a relative or get in touch with law enforcement.

Do you have a link? I tried the previous one and it no longer works.

The road from where She May have gotten off is very near the interstate i-40. Kinda worried maybe she got on that road to who knows where. It runs across majority of the states. They don’t give much info on the story of why she asked to get out. Did she get upset? It’s not a heavily populated area. Desolate actually.

It seems the Jane Doe mentioned above has been identified but her identity not released. Since Tamickia is still listed in NamUs, I assume she's still missing. I hope she'll be located safe.
