Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP55432)
In the spring of 2002, a family in Knoxville, Tennessee, began to worry about 48-year-old Regina Diane Davis. It was not entirely unusual for Regina, who was a stroke victim, to disappear for months at a time, but as the months stretched on with no word, concern mounted. The last time her family had any contact with her was on April 20, 2002. As time passed, the silence from Regina became increasingly unsettling, leading her mother to officially report her missing to the Knoxville Police
Department.
The initial investigation into Regina's disappearance was hampered by the delayed reporting and the fact that she had a history of leaving for extended periods. Investigators learned that she was a vulnerable adult due to her health condition. She was described as a white female with brown hair and hazel eyes, standing at 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighing approximately 110 pounds. A small tattoo on her left chest was noted as a distinguishing physical feature. Despite these details, leads were scarce, and the case quickly grew cold. The Knoxville Police Department was tasked with the challenging investigation, but with little information to go on, the trail to find Regina faded.
Years turned into decades, and Regina's case remains one of the many unsolved missing person files in East Tennessee. Her disappearance is a quiet but persistent ache for her family, who have been left without answers for over two decades. The case is a somber reminder of the many individuals who vanish, leaving behind a void of uncertainty and unanswered questions. The Knoxville Police Department continues to list her as a missing person, a silent testament to a life interrupted and a family still waiting for closure. The overview of this case is one of quiet tragedy, a woman who seemingly vanished without a trace, leaving behind only memories and the enduring hope that one day, the truth of what happened to Regina Diane Davis will come to light.Last Seen: Apr 20, 2002
