2 Fla. Women Vanished Separately a Year Ago, and a Police-Produced Podcast Aims to Find Them
Cieha's disappearance followed a phone call to a friend in which "she was definitely upset," Det. Joseph Florio.
After leaving the Plant City home where she was living with her boyfriend and another man, Cieha was headed to her friend's home in nearby Lakeland but never arrived.
A passerby later that day spotted a vehicle that appeared to be stalled on a rural railroad crossing and alerted authorities. A deputy and a police officer who responded found the vehicle with its motor running, but only moved it off the tracks and secured it at the roadside — which is where the mother of Cieha's boyfriend saw it parked three days later and recognized it as Cieha's black 2000 Toyota Solaris.
The mother alerted her son, who told her, "Oh, there's something wrong," said Florio. They then called the friend in Lakeland, and ultimately had the car delivered to Cieha's mom.
"As soon as I knew the phone and the keys were in the car," Canitha Taylor told the podcast, "I was worried."
