Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP8724) and 7 other sources
Colleen Perris, an 18-year-old from Plantation, Florida, was last seen on September 30, 2000. That afternoon, she received a call on her cell phone around 3:00 p.m. while at her family’s home. She informed her parents she would be heading to Coral Springs and expected to return by 6:00 p.m. to attend a Florida Marlins baseball game with them. However, Colleen never returned and has not been seen since.

Her vehicle, a white 1994 Mazda MX-6, was found abandoned a few days later on October 6, 2000, in a shopping center parking lot in Tamarac, Florida. The car was locked, and her purse and cell phone were missing. Despite being found intact, no immediate signs of foul play were present, and any potential clues like fingerprints were washed away by rain.

Colleen was described as a free-spirited young woman who enjoyed activities like playing billiards and singing. She had several tattoos, including a butterfly on her lower back, and was known for experimenting with her hair color. Before her disappearance, she had saved money for future travels and was planning a trip to Colorado and a cruise, both of which were never realized.

Her disappearance remains a mystery, with investigators unable to trace the call she received before she vanished. Despite various unconfirmed sightings over the years, Colleen's whereabouts are still unknown, and her case remains unsolved.
