Tiera Strand’s body was found in a North Temple ditch on
April 21, five days after she was last seen leaving a bar on Austin’s 6th
street. Her family suspects foul play is involved. There’s no reason why she
would be that far without her belongings. Without someone she knows and is
close to. She would not have gone to that area without someone that knows and
loves her,” said Strand’s aunt, Jordaya Dorris. While out with her friends,
Strand would get into a fight and later kicked out of the bar, leaving her
phone, wallet and keys behind.
With Strand’s location unknown, her friends decided to leave
6th Street and drive her van home, not alerting Strand’s family to any of this
until the next day. “That is when they should’ve called the cops. They never
should’ve gotten in that van and drove off, leaving her god knows where,” said
Strand’s cousin, Jessica Williams. The search and rescue for the 25-year-old
mother is now a homicide investigation. Her family is now reflecting on how
infectious her positive spirit was. If you have any information regarding this
case, please notify BCSD CID at 254-933-5442 or Austin Police Department at
