Our card this week is Laquandra Slater, the four of clubs from Michigan.

Lequandre, or Chavon, as most people called her, was known for being tough and independent.

Everyone who knew the 38-year-old said she was outspoken, knew how to take care of herself,

and wasn't one to be pushed around,

which made it all the more shocking when in December of 2016, she disappeared without a trace.

I'm Ashley Flowers, and this is the deck.

Music The It was around December 8th, 2016, when Shimonia Wooten went to message her cousin Shavon on Facebook.

Chavon hadn't posted anything for a while, not since like Thanksgiving two weeks prior.

So Shimonia wanted to see if everything was okay.

So she first fired off a message, waited to hear back, but it was five minutes, ten minutes, an hour later, still no response. And that was

very unlike Chavon not to reply. But what was even stranger was after Shimonia sent a bunch more

messages, it appeared as though Chavon had blocked her. Now, Chavon was known to be pretty headstrong and likely to hold a grudge if you had

wronged her, but Shimonia couldn't see any reason why she would just block her out of nowhere.

So she decided to switch tactics and call Chavon's phone, except it went straight to voicemail.

Shimonia called again, voicemail. Several attempts later and all of a sudden, the calls stopped going to voicemail. Shimonia called again, voicemail. Several attempts later,

and all of a sudden, the calls stopped going to voicemail, and instead she got an automated

message saying that the number had been disconnected and was no longer accepting calls.

None of this was making sense. So Shimonia took the next step.

She started reaching out to the people in Chivon's circles.

And as it turned out, nobody, including Chavon's maintenance man, had seen her since Thanksgiving.

So at this point, Shimonia started to get seriously worried.

So she put out a post on Facebook to see if anyone had any information.
