College student Phoenix Coldon was last seen pulling out of the driveway of her family’s home in Spanish Lake, Missouri on December 18th, 2011.

About three hours after the 23-year-old disappeared, her car was found abandoned in East St. Louis, about a 25-minute drive from her home. “That is the big mystery. Those two and a half hours,” Phoenix’s father, Lawrence Coldon, Sr., told NBC affiliate WCSH6. “No matter what it takes, or how long it takes, we will continue to look for our daughter.”

Please call the St. Louis Police Department at (314) 615-5400 with any information about Phoenix’s case.
