Latrice Armstead knew she had to escape a dangerous relationship, not just for herself, but mostly because of her three young sons.

Her marriage to Tony Bledsoe had become violent, so violent in fact that the last time he had beaten up on her, he broke her jaw. It was then that Latrice decided to pack up and move with her boys and stay with family in St, Louis, Missouri for a while.

Her move was almost complete, but on July 28, 2012, Latrice had to travel back to Memphis, Tennessee, to pick up her youngest son.

By that evening, her family was beginning to worry that they hadn’t heard back from her.

July 29, 2012, went with also no contact from Latrice.

By July the next day, July 30, her family decided to contact the police.

Latrice had disappeared.

Searches were futile, and fears were heightened when Latrice’s car was found abandoned and burned in Clarksdale, Mississippi. There was still no sign of this mother of three.
