Summary
Alissa Turney was a seventeen-year-old junior at Paradise Valley High School when she went missing on May 17, 2001. Alissa’s friends and family told investigators that the missing teen was a good student, although she had a rebellious personality, she also worked part time at Jack and the Box and had a steady boyfriend. Recently Sarah Turney, Alissa's stepsister, has began seeking justice for Alissa by leveraging social media apps like TikTok to raise awareness for the missing girl and in August of 2020 an arrest was finally made in the case.
