Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP39876) and 7 other sources
Chandra Marie Taylor, a 28-year-old woman from Sacramento, California, went missing on May 7, 2017. She was last seen at an Arco gas station on Watt Avenue and Auburn Boulevard, a known area for sex work. At the time of her disappearance, Chandra was struggling with substance abuse and was involved in prostitution. Her family fears she may have been kidnapped by sex traffickers, though no conclusive evidence has surfaced to confirm this theory.

Chandra had been known to travel to areas such as Reno and Elko, Nevada, and possibly Utah, and there were reports that she might have left Sacramento shortly after her disappearance. However, she has not used her phone or social media since that time, raising serious concerns about her well-being. One of her friends mentioned seeing her get into a charcoal grey cargo van on the day she disappeared, but the details remain unclear, and her case is still unsolved.

Chandra was described as 5'3" to 5'4" tall, weighing between 90 to 125 pounds, with brown hair (possibly dyed blonde) and blue eyes. She has distinctive features, including light freckles and a potentially unfinished tattoo of a compass with the words "be the one to guide me" and an anchor with the phrase "but never hold me down." Despite various leads, her family is still searching for answers and holds onto hope for her safe return.
