ORLANDO, FL — Nearly three decades have passed since 22-year-old LaTonya Dionne Roberts vanished without a trace on December 14, 1994. A night that began with plans for a fun evening out — perhaps a movie or a trip to a nightclub — quickly turned into one of Florida’s most haunting cold cases. LaTonya’s disappearance remains an unsolved mystery, leaving behind a family and a community desperate for answers.
What Happened
On that fateful Wednesday, LaTonya called her sister, excited about the plans she had for the evening. She was full of life, looking forward to a night like many others. After paging her sister to share her plans, LaTonya set out into the night. However, she never came home.
Her white 1988 Toyota Corolla was later discovered parked outside Hero’s Nightclub in Eatonville, just outside Orlando. What stood out was the unusual condition of the car: one tire was flat, the doors were locked, and the alarm was still engaged. Despite these seemingly ordinary details, there was one glaring issue — LaTonya was nowhere to be found.
The absence of any signs of a struggle or a witness to her disappearance has left investigators with few clues. The only indication that something was wrong came in the form of a car, seemingly abandoned, but with no trace of its driver.
Who Was LaTonya Dionne Roberts
LaTonya was a bright young woman, full of potential. Standing just 4’11” and weighing only 90 pounds, she was a petite figure with a larger-than-life presence in the hearts of those who knew her. Known for her vibrant personality and warm spirit, she was much more than a missing person to her family and friends — she was a beloved daughter, a cherished sister, and a loyal friend.
LaTonya’s life, full of dreams and love, was tragically stolen from her that night. Despite being taken from her loved ones so suddenly, she continues to be remembered as someone who mattered deeply to everyone who knew her.
The Search for Justice
Since LaTonya’s disappearance, the search for answers has been ongoing. The mystery of what happened to her that night remains unresolved. Despite the efforts of the Orlando Police Department and the passage of time, LaTonya’s case has yet to be solved. No note, no struggle, no witnesses — just an empty car and a painful void in the lives of those who loved her.
Her family has kept the memory of LaTonya alive, continuing to search for justice and for the truth. In the years following her disappearance, they have spoken out about their desire for closure, but the question of what happened to LaTonya remains unanswered.
