Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP291) and 10 other sources
Tarena Hopgood, a 32-year-old woman from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has been missing since May 10, 2004. On the night she vanished, she was last seen around 1:00 a.m. at a family member's residence located near the 8900 block of North Michele Street in Milwaukee. This was the last confirmed sighting of her, and she has not been heard from since.

At the time of her disappearance, Tarena was described as being between 5'3" and 5'7" tall, weighing between 100 and 120 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. She also had distinguishing features, including a pierced nose and scars on both of her legs. Despite multiple years having passed, there have been few updates or leads in her case. Milwaukee police continue to seek any information that may assist in finding her, and the case remains open with very little detail emerging over time.

Tarena's disappearance is considered a long-term missing persons case, with various organizations such as the Milwaukee Police Department, the Wisconsin Missing Persons Advocacy, and NamUs actively listing her details in hopes of gathering new information. Over the years, there have been appeals to the public for help, but unfortunately, her case remains unsolved. If alive today, she would be 50 years old. Any information related to her whereabouts can be directed to the Milwaukee Police Department's Sensitive Crimes Division.
