Summary

23-year-old Phoenix Coldon was last seen reversing out of the driveway of her parents’ home in Spanish Lake, Missouri. A couple of hours later, her car was found abandoned at a traffic light, but there was no sign of Phoenix. Was she abducted? Did she stage her own disappearance? Almost ten years on, her case remains a mystery.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call St. Louis County Police at (314) 889-2341. Or reach out to her family on the dedicated Facebook Page: Missing Phoenix Coldon Reeves.
