TACOMA, Wash. - The mother of a missing Tacoma girl who disappeared 13 years ago says for the first time she is losing hope in her daughter's case.

Theresa Lewis says she has learned from police about other possible child crimes at about the same time that her daughter, 2-year-old Teekah Lewis, vanished from a Tacoma bowling alley on Jan. 23, 1999.

Similar cases reported around time Teekah Lewis disappeared

On the thirteenth anniversary of the disappearance of Tacoma toddler, there are new developments in the case.

[snip]

A detective working on the case just discovered what could be a possible connection in three other incidents involving children approached by a stranger.

[snip]

Tacoma Police said they are not sure why detectives didn't notice the similarities in tips until now. They are asking anyone who may have information to contact the Tacoma Police Department.

My thoughts are with little Teekah tonight. Her smile is so sweet in all her photos. I hope her family can one day find answers and no matter what they are, Teekah can have peace.

The hunt must go on for Teekah and other lost children

If there’s one thing worse than the death of a child, it’s the disappearance of a child.

Monday marked the 13th anniversary of the vanishing of 2-year-old Teekah Lewis of Tacoma. Bill Clinton was still president when she went missing. The bowling alley on Center Street where she vanished has since been razed.

She was a toddler then; she would be a high-schooler today. And she is still missing.

Police response team will focus on kidnapping

Ann Marie Burr. Carla Wright. Jennifer Bastian. Michella Welch. Teekah Lewis. Zina Linnik.

They are among children abducted in Tacoma over the years. Some were found slain. Others are still missing.

Many of their cases remain open.

[snip]

Child abductions are unlike many other investigations detectives handle. For one thing they often start with a missing-person report and no witnesses.

To try to learn what happened, patrol officers and detectives interview family members and friends to see whether the missing child has run away, failed to return home when he or she was supposed to, or could be the victim of foul play, Wade said.

Teekah Lewis, 2 1/2, disappeared from a bowling alley in 1999 with her family nearby.

My housebound neighbor just texted me to say she heard on the news that Teekah has been found ! Alive. I am in Seattle,so this is local for me... I am trying to find out if my neighbor got it right...Keeping my fingers crossed...

ETA Sigh...my neighbor misunderstood the news. But, it is really strange : a man supposedly tried to lure Teekah's 14 year old sister from a store. When she refused to go with him,he left the store. Apparently he had 2 kids in the back seats of his car... Teekah's sister then told her mother. I thought it was going to be a miracle for a few minutes there... MOO

Missing Tacoma girl turns 16 on 4th of July

TACOMA, Wash. -- Theresa Lewis wanted to have a baby born on the Fourth of July. But now the holiday has an ominous feeling for her.

"I don't like the fireworks," said
She gave birth to Teekah Lewis on July 4, 1996.

Two-and-a-half years later, Teekah vanished from a Tacoma bowling alley and has not been seen since.

While her mother does not like celebrating the Fourth, the family is throwing Teekah a Sweet 16 birthday party Wednesday night.

"We're celebrating like she's here," said Lewis.

Teekah's mother believes her daughter is alive and has been raised by the person who kidnapped her. She hopes her daughter has reached the age when someone might ask for her birth certificate.

"Hopefully she tries to go out there and get a driver's license and nothing matches and it just opens someone's eyes," said Lewis.

Possible break in case of Teekah Lewis' disappearance

[snip]

On Friday and Saturday, Tacoma police dug up and searched the yard of a home on South Hawthorne Street.

KIRO 7 searched archives and found that the man who lives at the house, is a man who pleaded guilty in 2010 of child luring at another bowling alley, Tower Lanes. The man was 56 at the time.

Updated today at 8:58

Teekah Lewis was two years old in 1999 when she was reported missing from New Frontier bowling alley. This weekend, police investigating the case searched a Tacoma home and questioned the man who lives there.

The man who lives in the home says he was questioned by detectives with Tacoma Police for hours. He said he does not know Teekah Lewis and he did not do anything wrong.

But Teekah's mother, Theresa, is asking new questions.

"There has to be something for them to get a search warrant, and search this man's house and dig up the backyard,” she said.

Police confirmed that they questioned the man in connection with the disappearance of Teekah. Police also say the man pleaded guilty in 2011 in a different case that involved child luring at a different bowling alley.
