In Memphis, Tennessee, a then 16-year-old female named Amanda Poole vanished on October 8, 2015. On that Thursday morning, Amanda left the home she shared with her aunt in the 2300 block of Cliffdale Cove, presumably to attend school. However, she never arrived at her high school and was not seen or heard from again. At the time she went missing, she was described as being 5'7' tall and weighing 150 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. She was reportedly wearing a white shirt and khaki pants on the day she disappeared.
As days turned into weeks and then years, the lack of answers has been difficult for Amanda's family. Her mother, Tammie Leshure, has expressed her belief that Amanda did not run away. A year after her daughter's disappearance, she shared her fear that Amanda had met with the wrong people and that something unfortunate had happened to her. The family's sentiment suggests they suspect foul play was involved in her disappearance.
The Memphis Police Department has investigated Amanda's case, which is now considered a cold case. Despite the passage of time, investigators continue to ask the public for any information that might lead to a breakthrough. Very few details about the investigation itself have been made public, and no significant leads have been reported. The case serves as a painful reminder of the many young lives that are altered by unexplained disappearances, leaving families and communities searching for closure. The Memphis Police Department's Missing Persons Bureau can be contacted with any information regarding Amanda's whereabouts.Last Seen: Oct 8, 2015
