Between 9 to 10 a.m.. on June 26, 2010, 17-year-old Tarasha "Pooh" Benjamin left her home in Selma, Alabama. She told her mother goodbye and headed toward the flea market like she did every Saturday. Before she got to the flea market she stopped at a relative's yard sale and used their cell phone to make a call. This would be the last time she was seen. It's unknown if she made it to the flea market or not.
The grey Mazda Tribute she borrowed from a friend that day was found abandoned on the Cecil Jackson Bypass a mile away from the flea market. It was facing the opposite direction of the market and the two windows on the driver's side were missing and the driver's side door handle was broken.
Tarasha's disappearance was out of character for her and extensive searches turned up nothing.
Tarasha is an African American Female and was 17-years-old at the time She's 5'2" and 125 lbs. She has black hair and brown eyes. She talks in a loud voice and her ears are peirced, and she has a tattoo on her upper right arm saying Pooh Bear. She is also known to wear colored contacts. At the time she was wearing A yellow, turquoise and white striped shirt, blue shorts, a silver necklace and possibly silver sandals.
