Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP142) and 7 other sources
In the summer of 1999, a 27-year-old mother named Alma Felicia Lewis vanished while on a cross-country trip. She was last seen on July 30, 1999, in Memphis, Tennessee. Alma, also known by her nicknames 'Lady' and 'Felicia,' was reportedly traveling to California with the intention of picking up her child. However, she never reached her destination, and her loved ones never heard from her again. The specifics of her journey and her last known movements in Memphis remain largely unknown to the public.

The circumstances surrounding Alma's disappearance are shrouded in mystery, with very few details available to investigators and the public. It is unclear what mode of transportation she was using or if she was traveling with anyone. Information regarding her child and other family life has not been widely publicized. Her mother, who resided in Illinois, reported her missing, which led to the Illinois State Police taking charge of the investigation. It is not publicly known if other law enforcement agencies in the states along her intended route were involved in the search. At the time she went missing, Alma was described as a Black female, 5'2' tall and weighing 144 pounds, with black hair and black eyes. She had a scar over one of her eyebrows and multiple piercings in her ears.

For over two decades, the disappearance of Alma Felicia Lewis has remained a cold case with no significant breakthroughs. The lack of information has made it difficult for investigators to piece together the events that led to her vanishing. Her case is a poignant reminder of the many individuals who go missing each year, leaving their families to grapple with unanswered questions and enduring grief. Despite the passage of time, the hope that someone might come forward with information that could shed light on what happened to Alma persists. The case is a somber overview of a young mother who disappeared without a trace, leaving a void in the lives of those who knew her.
