Lelisia Slade, a 25-year-old woman from Melbourne, Florida, was last seen in June 1988 near Lipscomb and Horne Street. She had struggled with addiction to cocaine and had become involved in prostitution to support her habit. Slade's family did not report her missing for three months due to her history of disappearing for extended periods. At the time of her disappearance, she was living with her grandmother and occasionally slept in the woods with her boyfriend, who was later ruled out as
a suspect since he was incarcerated when she went missing.
Slade left behind a three-year-old daughter and had a challenging lifestyle that included associations with others struggling with addiction. Despite efforts by authorities, her case remains unsolved, and she is presumed either deceased or having left the area. There have been no significant developments in her case since she was last seen. Slade's family continues to seek closure regarding her fate, but her disappearance remains a cold case.Last Seen: Jun 1, 1988
