Vital Statistics
Circumstances of Disappearance:
Grissom lived at the Sunset Apartments on Allen Lane with her grandmother and two children. She left home that day without explanation, saying she would be back soon, and was last seen getting into a small dark-colored car at 3:30 p.m. She said she'd be coming back. The baby wanted to go with her, he was crying. She said she was gonna come back and get him. She never returned. Her family reported her missing after several days without any contact from her, noting that no matter what happened, she always kept in touch with her family.
Additional Details:
After she had been gone for several days without calling home, her family reported her missing. Local police entered her name into their missing persons databases. Detectives say foul play is suspected in the case, but hard evidence has been difficult to come by. An investigative team with the Texarkana, Texas Police Department has conducted several interviews, but has not yet been able to tie everything together. In October 2010, her purse, a flip-phone style cellular phone, and some other belongings were found along a creek in Texarkana. The items were discovered by utility workers, three years after her disappearance. Investigators conducted a search of the area, but LaToya was not located. A spokesman for the Texarkana Texas police said this is an ongoing case but have not received any leads since 2013.
