So many questions!
Who was renting the apartment and what did they say about who she was?
Did she appear to be African American or could she have been East African? Just asking because City Heights has a large Ethiopian / Eritrean community now, admittedly probably not so prominent yet in 1999.
Is there a photo or drawing available?

Did she appear to be African American or could she have been East African?

Typically anyone with black skin gets listed as African American in namus

Aretha Chism went missing 5 months prior from 2 hours away. But I can't see a chip in her tooth.
