In August of 2012, 33-year-old Tamala Wells drove off into the night—and vanished.
Days later, her car was found abandoned on Detroit’s east side. The door was open. Her clothes were inside.
But Tamala was gone.

She hasn’t been seen or heard from since.

Her longtime boyfriend claimed she simply left… but the things he said—and didn’t say—have raised disturbing questions.
Why did he describe her disappearance as a relief?
Why did the investigation go quiet so quickly?

For nearly 13 years, Tamala’s mother has searched abandoned buildings, chased down leads, and begged for the truth.
And someone, somewhere, knows what happened.

In this episode of They Disappeared, Pat Draven investigates the mysterious disappearance of Tamala Wells—and the unsettling silence left in her wake.
