When Teresa was last seen, police reported that she was wearing a black short-sleeve shirt, black leggings with leopard prints, and white Puma sneakers. NamUs-based information summarized by Uncovered describes the last known area as North Capitol and Florida Avenue NE, in a park area, and notes that she had not had contact with family afterward. That source also states that it was unlike Teresa not to contact her family, an important detail because it suggests her lack of communication was out of character.
