16 year old Timeka Pridgen has been missing since May 12, 2001. Timeka vanished
in the early morning hours from her La Grange, North Carolina home, barefoot
with none of her belongings. Timeka was classified as a runaway, but as we know
in cases of missing children, this is not always the case.
Timeka’s mother, Cosandra Best, recalls last seeing her daughter at home on
May 12
th. Cosandra came home to take a nap and wait for her
boyfriend, 31 year old Eric Moore. Cosandra woke up around midnight to find
Timeka missing and Eric never showed up! Cosandra was in a state of panic when
she realized that Timeka’s shoes and purse were still in her room.
Eric Moore is definitely a person of interest in this case. He is currently
serving his second sentence in prison for sex crimes against a minor. There is
no doubt in my mind that Eric Moore had something to do with Timeka’s
disappearance.
Timeka was last seen around 10pm on May 12, 2001. She has braces , brown
eyes, brown hair and is 5’ 7” and weighs about 165lbs.
