Vital Statistics
Circumstances of Disappearance:
Althedia was last seen in Tulsa, Oklahoma on January 19, 2009. She lived with her three adult children in the 3600 block of south New Haven Avenue. She told her children she was tired and going to bed, but at 11:30 p.m., she took her cellular phone and left, wearing just her pajamas and leaving her heater and television turned on. She may have been seen driving her car in the 5100 block of north Cincinnati Avenue afterwards. Althedia never returned home and has never been heard from again. Security cameras show a white 2003 Chevrolet extended cab pickup truck drive into the lot about 35 minutes before Althedia's car was parked there. The truck had a distinctive insignia of three triangles on both doors. It later left the lot, leaving Althedia's vehicle still parked in the same spot. Authorities have not connected the truck to her disappearance, but they would like to speak to its owner. The vehicle is pictured in the media gallery below. Althedia's children stated it's uncharacteristic of her to leave without warning. Her daughter was pregnant with a boy in January 2009 and due to give birth at any time, and they don't believe Althedia would have wanted to miss the birth. She worked at a nursing facility at the time of her disappearance, and was considered a reliable employee who wouldn't have missed work without notice. In 1989, twenty years before Althedia disappeared, her sister Trina was murdered in New York. That crime remains unsolved. Authorities don't believe it was connected to Althedia's disappearance, however. She is considered endangered and her case remains unsolved.
