Details of Disappearance

Cox was last seen in Clarksville, Tennessee on March 20, 2004, when she left her residence to walk to a nearby store.

She was living in a group home in the 100 block of Vivian Drive in that city at the time of her disappearance. She has never been heard from again. She had disappeared a few times before, but was brought back by the police.

On March 23, three days after Cox was last seen, her purse was found on a riverbank in a rural area about ten miles from where she lived. There was no sign of her at the scene.

Authorities do not suspect foul play in Cox's disappearance. There have been unconfirmed sightings in the New Providence section of Clarksville and at her former home on Vivian Drive since her disappearance.

She could still be in the local area, in Florida, or in Nashville, Tennessee, where she has relatives. Her case remains unsolved.
