Found this article I hadn't seen before. Only new info is that Toni had been in drug rehab before she disappeared.

Have you seen this Chester County woman?

Authorities are looking for a Chester County woman missing since early Sunday morning 08-23-09 on the Main Line.

Toni Lee Sharpless, 29, a single mother living with her mother in West Brandywine Township, was last seen around 5 a.m. at a house party in the Penn Valley section of Lower Merion Township, according to police.

After Sharpless drove away from the party with a friend around 5 a.m., they argued about whether Sharpless was in good enough condition to drive.

The friend got out of the car a block or two from the party.

Text message to Sharpless' 12-year-old daughter might be the last communication anyone had with her.

She drove a black 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT, with a Pennsylvania license plate, DND-7772.

She was last seen wearing a turquoise shirt with black tights and black sandals. The red-haired, blue-eyed Sharpless is 5-foot-5 and weighs about 135 pounds.

I was involved in the search for Jenna Lord in Camden this past Sunday. I made sure I had a picture of Toni loaded on my phone in case of the remote possibility that she would be on the streets down there. I think of her often and pray someone finds her soon.

I just shared this Blog from Philly Magazine on Jenna Lord's thread.

The PI looking for Toni is interviewed.

[nervous_nellie]

i was just reminded over in jennas thread about toni... she needs to be found....

 

[NetworkingStar]

It will be one year that Tony disappeared. When I saw this on the news the first time I wondered what happened to her because there was no follow up on the news. When I checked:banghead: the internet I was suprised she was still missing and the local media just forgot about her. I wish her family closer on this disappearce. as time goes by I find myself losing hope and intrest. but still post from time to time hoping to make a difference or create a break by someone reading this.

:banghead:

It's been almost 365 days since anyone has seen or heard from Toni Lee Sharpless, a West Brandywine woman who loved her job as a nurse almost as much as her family and friends.

Well, there are a few details in this news article that I had not read before.
I suppose something could have happened to Toni at the party or gathering that night, but my strongest sense is that Toni took off in a
rush, upset, maybe driving erratically, and then .... no one knows.

My strongest hope is that Toni is found. Alive.

Nurse still missing one year later

It has been more than one year since a nurse who works in Lancaster County went missing. Investigators said they are continuing to receive tips, but still need help from the public.

[snip]

A detective working on the case said that the calls she has been receiving makes her believe that Sharpless is alive.

"The last sightings were two months ago in Philadelphia. There have been no more sightings of her in Lancaster city since January or February," said private detective Eileen Law.

I hope she is alive but her car not being found makes it look like she may not be.

If her car had been found parked somewhere or impounded I would take that as a good sign but her tags have had to run out by now. I never thought she would be missing this long.

 

[Missing Budweiser]

Has there been any confirmed sightings of Toni within the last year?

Just finished reading the threads & news links on this case. It's a very confusing case & I really feel for her family & daughter.

"The car's tags — DND7772 — were run about two weeks later, on Sept. 8, 2009, in Camden, Higgins said. But by the time police were notified, several days later, they were unable to locate the vehicle."

What does that mean ... "the car's tags were run"? So does that prove the car did not end up in the water and give the reported sightings more credibility? Just wondering what the general thinking is now, more than a year later.
TIA

"The car's tags were run" generally means that a law enforcement officer ran her plate. Maybe pulled up behind her, ran her plate to make sure there was no warrants, it wasn't stolen, insurance was current, registration was current, etc.

So I guess technically that would prove the car didn't go in the water? If they knew it was that car. I doubt anyone took the plates off and if they did, they would have had to put them on an identical car, or the police officer would have noticed when he ran the plates.

It would be nice to know the circumstances under which the plates were run. Was the car parked? Being driven? By who? Where? Which direction? Was the officer's dash cam on?


There is also this in your link, an article that was posted in the comments section in August:

A man told Law he saw Sharpless last month on North Duke Street in Lancaster, she said.

A woman said she saw the tag from Sharpless' car on a vehicle driving between Longwood Gardens and Kennett Square, Law said. The woman noticed the plate because she had played its numbers in the lottery, Law said.

Law said a New Jersey woman who works night shift as a security officer in Conshohocken told Law she may have spotted Sharpless' car.

The woman "was on her way home and when she crossed the Ben Franklin Bridge, she noticed a black vehicle that appeared to be abandoned," Law said.

The vehicle was beneath the underpass, Law said. It was about 1 a.m. and there was no one inside the car and the car had no tag, the woman told her.

The security officer called Camden authorities, but they have no record of the call, Law said.

However, Law expects phone records to confirm the call was made.

New Jersey state police received two "hits" on Sharpless' tag, in Camden, N.J., Law said.

A "hit" is when a vehicle tag reported to be stolen or belonging to a missing or wanted person, is seen by police or recorded electronically.

Though she doesn't know how the "hits" came in, they could have been through traffic cameras, Law said.

Just finished reading the threads & news links on this case. It's a very confusing case & I really feel for her family & daughter.
