In the late fall of 2016, life for Laquandra Shavonne Slater, a 38-year-old woman from Flint Township, Michigan, was seemingly proceeding as usual. Known to her loved ones as "Shay V," she was described as a fun-loving and family-oriented person who cherished spending time with her relatives, often visiting her father for holidays and birthdays. However, towards the end of November 2016, all communication from Laquandra abruptly ceased. The last confirmed sighting of her was on December 2, 2016, in Flint Township. After this date, she vanished, leaving her family gripped with worry and unanswered questions. The circumstances surrounding Laquandra's disappearance grew more troubling when her vehicle was discovered abandoned in the city of Flint, near the intersection of Atherton and Van Slyke roads. This discovery was a significant and alarming development, suggesting that her disappearance was not voluntary. It was uncharacteristic of Laquandra to leave without informing her family of her whereabouts. She was a woman with distinct features, including multiple piercings on her cheek, lip, and eyebrow, and numerous tattoos that adorned her body, such as a portrait of her mother on her upper arm and a design of dolphins and fish that started from her foot and went up her body. Years have passed since Laquandra Slater was last seen, and her case remains cold, with no new information surfacing to provide clarity on what happened to her. The lack of leads has been agonizing for her family, who are left to wonder if she is safe or in need of help. Her cousin, LaToya Brown, has expressed the family's pain, stating, "somebody had to do something to her, take her somewhere." The Flint Township Police Department continues to investigate her case, and a cash reward has been offered for any information that could lead to a breakthrough. The case of Laquandra Slater is a somber reminder of the many individuals who have gone missing, leaving behind families searching for answers and a community hoping for a resolution. The investigation has also considered potential connections to other missing persons cases in the Flint area around the same time, although no definitive links have been established by law enforcement.
