Case Description

Any updates on this case? Let us know!
Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP76599) and 7 other sources
Tara Horizon Coppola, a 37-year-old woman from West Melbourne, Florida, was last seen on September 12, 2019. On that day, she was reportedly spotted at the Kaival Liquor Store in West Melbourne with an unidentified man. Authorities later released an image of this individual, stating he is not a suspect, but they are interested in identifying him as part of the investigation.

Coppola was not reported missing until over a year after her disappearance, which has significantly hindered investigative efforts. She was known to frequent the West Melbourne area, but little else has surfaced regarding her whereabouts. Tara Coppola is described as a white female with brown hair and brown eyes, standing between 5'6" and 5'7" tall, and weighing approximately 110 pounds. She also has several distinct tattoos, including ones on both hands, both hips, and her left ankle.

Despite ongoing investigations and public appeals for information, Tara's case remains unsolved, and she has not been heard from since her disappearance. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Brevard County Sheriff's Office.
