Details of Disappearance
Armstead was last seen in the 4200 block of Springleaf Lane in Memphis, Tennessee at 11:00 a.m. on July 28, 2012. She has never been heard from again. On July 31, her black Acura TL with the Texas license plate number M05 VXZ was found abandoned and burned in a rural area near Little Simmons Road in Clarksdale, Mississippi, about an hour from Memphis.

Armstead's estranged husband, Tony Bledsoe, is a person of interest in her case. There was a history of domestic violence in their relationship and they were going through a divorce. Armstead was in the process of moving from Memphis to St. Louis, Missouri at the time of her disappearance; she had decided to relocate to get away from Bledsoe after he broke her jaw. Armstead had an order of protection against Bledsoe and after she disappeared, police arrested him for violating it. This was because, although the order required him to stay away from her, she was seen twice with him on the day she disappeared.

It's uncharacteristic of Armstead to leave without warning, and her family doesn't believe she would have abandoned her three sons. Foul play is suspected in her case, which remains unsolved.

It's been seven years since Fredrick has seen or heard from his sister Latrice. He said his sister moved to St. Louis in July 2012 to escape an abusive relationship — a relationship so violent it left her with a broken jaw and her mouth wired shut .

A police affidavit confirmed Latrice and her husband were seen together July 29. That's the same day she disappeared and the black Acura she was driving was found burning in a rural area of Coahoma County, Mississippi.

She's never been found.

"Based on what I've seen in the case, I don't think she's alive," police said.

Detectives have questioned several people in connection with Latrice's disappearance, including her husband Tony Bledsoe, but no one has been charged.

Bledsoe was charged in connection with violating the order of protection Latrice filed against him.

Authorities still searching for missing Memphis woman after seven years
