She walked to a neighbors home in her family’s apartment complex which was known as the Valley Glen Apartments on Hollybush Drive off Ferguson Road between 10:30 am and 10:50 am. Tasha had gone to the neighbors with a message from her mother.
It was confirmed that Tasha did in fact arrive at the neighbors residence but she never returned to her residence. There may have been a possible sighting of her in the breezeway of another apartment shortly after she disappeared but this sighting remains unconfirmed. She has never been seen or heard from again.
