Our card this week is LaQuandra Slater, the four of clubs from Michigan. LaQuandra, or Siobhan as most people called her, was known for being tough and independent. Everyone who knew the 38-year-old said she was outspoken, knew how to take care of herself, and wasn't one to be pushed around. Which made it all the more shocking when in December of 2016, she disappeared without a trace.
I'm Ashley Flowers, and this is The Deck. It was around December 8th, 2016, when Shamonia Wooten went to message her cousin, Siobhan, on Facebook. Siobhan hadn't posted anything for a while, not since, like, Thanksgiving two weeks prior. So, Shimonya wanted to see if everything was okay. So, she first fired off a message, waited to hear back.
But it was five minutes, ten minutes, an hour later, still no response. And that was very unlike Siobhan not to reply. But what was even stranger was after Shimonya sent a bunch more messages, it appeared as though Siobhan... had blocked her.
Now, Siobhan was known to be pretty headstrong and likely to hold a grudge if you had wronged her, but Shimonya couldn't see any reason why she would just block her out of nowhere. So she decided to switch tactics and call Siobhan's phone, except it went straight to voicemail. Shimonya called again, voicemail.
Several attempts later and all of a sudden the calls stopped going to voicemail and instead she got an automated message saying that the number had been disconnected and was no longer accepting calls. None of this was making sense. So Shamonia took the next step. She started reaching out to the people in Siobhan's circles.
And as it turned out, nobody, including Siobhan's maintenance man, had seen her since Thanksgiving. So at this point, Shamonia started to get seriously worried. So she put out a post on Facebook to see if anyone had any information. But no one seemed to know a thing. So it was time to kick things up a notch. That same day, Shamonia drove over to Siobhan's apartment in Flint, Michigan.
She didn't appear to be home, and her black Chevy wasn't anywhere in the building's parking lot. But Shimonya did run into her maintenance man, and he said that he usually saw Siobhan leave her house every morning at around 10 a.m., but he hadn't seen or heard from her in several days. And she was now late on her rent payment.
Here is Flint Township Police Department Detective Lacey Lopez, who was put on this case around 2020.
He said it was really unusual for her because she typically always paid at end time. So he was also concerned.
