In the summer of 2009, a 22-year-old woman named Winter Angel Rose Parks was navigating a difficult period in her life in Tulsa, Oklahoma. On July 29th of that year, she had contact with the Tulsa Police Department and also spoke with her mother. This would be the last confirmed communication anyone had with Winter. At the time of her disappearance, she was experiencing homelessness and was known to frequent the Day Center on West Archer Street, along with other area shelters.
Compounding the challenges she faced, Winter was deaf and received Social Security disability benefits.
The circumstances surrounding Winter's disappearance are shrouded in uncertainty, with very few details available to the public. The last known activity on her Social Security account was in September 2009; since then, there has been no further action. Winter is an Asian female with brown hair and brown eyes. She has several distinct physical characteristics, including a flat forehead and back of her head, pierced ears, and a tattoo on her right calf. She may also have a tattoo of a skull with the words 'Grandma Betty' on her back. It has been noted that she might use the aliases Avalina Razila Caldwell or Angel Rose.
Over the years, there has been minimal news or public information released about Winter's case, and it is now considered a cold case. The lack of new leads has left her family and community without answers for over a decade. The initial report of her disappearance was not filed until October 15, 2009, several months after she was last heard from. The case of Winter Angel Rose Parks is a somber reminder of the vulnerabilities faced by individuals experiencing homelessness and disability, and the profound silence that can follow a disappearance when there are few witnesses and a scarcity of information. The Tulsa Police Department continues to hold the case file, awaiting any information that might shed light on what happened to Winter.Last Seen: Jul 29, 2009
