case details:
Matthews was last seen on October 9, 2008 leaving her home on 6th Avenue in Columbus, Mississippi. According to her boyfriend, the two of them met up at a club the night before her disappearance and had a normal night out. They returned to the home they had been staying at together and went to sleep. The following morning, he gave her some money to go to the store to pick up some things they needed and she never returned. Matthews has a son who is developmentally delayed that her mother cared for. Family states that for her to go without contacting them is uncharacteristic of her as she made it a point to keep in contact with her son. Matthews’ mother also helped her out financially each month and all contact with her mother ceased on the day of her disappearance as well. Matthews’ boyfriend at the time was questioned but was ruled out as a suspect in her disappearance. She has not been seen or heard from since. Her case remains unsolved at this time.
