From The Charley Project:
Laroya was last seen in Los Angeles, California on March 26, 2003. It was originally reported that she was last seen standing in front of her apartment building in the 3500 block of West 27th Street near Arlington Avenue and Adams Boulevard, accompanied by an African-American male who is described as 5'8 with a medium build. This information was later found to be incorrect.
At 5:30 p.m. Laroya's mother's fiance told her mother he couldn't find Laroya. When Laroya's mother returned at 11:00 p.m., her daughter was still missing and her disappearance was reported to police. Authorities believe she left of her own accord.
Laroya was in the tenth grade at Crenshaw High School at the time of her disappearance, but was preparing to transfer to Dorsey High School. She is described as an outspoken person who may be shy around strangers. Her case remains unsolved and is still classified as a runaway.
Thoughts? Laroya's case was aired on the April 12th, 2003 episode of America's Most Wanted as a commercial break alert. I've seen people who claim to be family friends post on other message boards that Laroya is alive and well, may be involved in prostitution, and simply doesn't want to talk to her family. The posters appear credible, however, as long as the National Center For Missing And Exploited Children still has this case on their website, I'll still make a post about it and consider it unresolved.
