T'La Shabazz of Norfolk is searching for her missing sister, Tawanda Hill, who would be 41 years old in the present day. Hill also went by "Moonlight" or "Tye."

"It's been difficult, it's been really difficult," T'La Shabazz of Norfolk said tearfully.

She continued: "She was one of those people that when she entered a room, you just knew. She had the brightest smile."

Shabazz also said her sister was pregnant, expecting her third child at the time of her disappearance. She was last seen in late 2009 or early 2010 in the Bruce's Park neighborhood of Norfolk, near Booker T. Washington High School.

"She had mental illness, so she would disappear from time to time," Shabazz said. "It would be kind of normal for her to go without necessarily seeing the family, but she would always send cards and reach out."

Disappearance of pregnant Norfolk woman weighs on family over a decade later. What does it take to solve cold cases?

Cold case detectives are looking for fresh ways to reach a resolution, while family members press forward with a desperate search for answers.

It’s frustrating and saddening that this story wasn’t featured in the news much at all. Her sister reports she was three months pregnant. (Missing.org) I also saw somewhere that she “may have been 3 months pregnant”.

I wonder if LE made any attempts to reach out to possible romantic or known partners and contacts in the sex work community from that time, they could offer valuable insights into considering she was a sex worker, pregnancy may have put her at higher risk for violence (MOO).
