Tacoma, Wash. residents say New Frontier Bowling Lanes is always packed with families, especially on evenings. It has a reputation as a safe and friendly place to take children. But on Saturday January 3, 1999 everything changed for one family. Theresa English, her 2-year-old daughter, Teekah Lewis, and several other family members decided it would be fun to go bowling at the popular alley. Nearly a dozen of Teekah's relatives were there, and they took up two lanes--seven and eight. Teekah decided to walk over to the arcade and play some games. She tried to win a stuffed toy from a grabber machine, but ran out of coins. So, her uncle won a teddy bear that Teekah gave to her younger sister. Moments later, she had moved on to a racing game. Teekah's family members--her mother, uncle and her mother's boyfriend--took turns staying with Teekah and watching over her. When her uncle briefly turned around to watch someone in their group bowl, he was only about a foot away from the toddler. But when he turned back toward where Teekah had been sitting, she was gone. According to police, the game room where Teekah was last seen was only six feet away from the exit. What Happened To Teekah? Teekah's family frantically searched for her, and after a few minutes, ran up to alert the Tacoma police officer who was working security for New Frontier Lanes. He made an announcement over the loudspeaker and the whole room full of families grew quiet upon hearing the shocking news that the toddler had disappeared. Teekah's family and others who were at the alley began searching everywhere, and police stopped everyone leaving the parking lot According to police, the game room where Teekah was last seen was only six feet away from the exit. Witnesses Saw Suspicious Car Cops had no solid leads and Teekah was no where to be found. They say Teekah's biological father was in prison at the time, which ruled out a custodial abduction. Police questioned registered sex offenders in the area and checked the background of the bowling alley's employees, but still came up empty-handed. The Tacoma police have only one clue--a witness said they saw a 1980s Pontiac Grand Am pull out of the parking lot around the time that Teekah disappeared. The vehicle was maroon with dark windows and a large spoiler. When she disappeared, Teekah was wearing a green Tweety Bird t-shirt, white sweatpants and Air Jordan sneakers. She was carrying a clear fish printed purse stuffed with Starburst candy. Now Teekah Lewis would be 10 years old. http://www.amw.com/missing_children/case.cfm?id=34039 |
