Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP22828) and 2 other sources
In the early summer of 1991, a 28-year-old woman named Caprice Cade vanished from her home in Detroit, Michigan. She was a Black / African American female, standing approximately 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighing around 130 pounds, with black hair. On June 1, 1991, Caprice was seen leaving her residence. The details surrounding her departure are scarce; it is not publicly known where she was headed, who she might have been meeting, or what her state of mind was at the time. What is known is that after she walked away from her home on that particular day, she was never seen or heard from again.

The circumstances leading up to and following Caprice's disappearance remain largely a mystery. There is no information available in public sources that details any specific concerns for her safety or welfare prior to her going missing. It is noted that she may have been wearing a skirt on the day she disappeared, but this is the only clothing description available. The lack of detailed information has made it incredibly difficult for law enforcement and her loved ones to piece together the events of that day. Despite the passage of time, her case remains open, a silent testament to a life interrupted.

Over the years, the investigation into what happened to Caprice Cade has yielded few answers. The Detroit Police Department has been the primary agency handling her case. In an effort to identify her should she be found, DNA was collected from her mother in 2013 and has been entered into national databases. This crucial step ensures that there is a means of comparison if any unidentified remains are discovered. The case of Caprice Cade is a somber reminder of the many individuals who disappear without a trace, leaving behind families caught in an ambiguous loss, forever waiting for answers.
