Montgomery, Ala. (WDNews) — A renewed push for information is underway in the decades-old disappearance of a Montgomery teen, with a reward now being offered to help solve the case.
CrimeStoppers 215 STOP is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of anyone responsible for the disappearance of LaQuanta Riley.
Riley was 17 years old when she went missing on December 7, 2003. She was born on February 26, 1984, and would now be 42 years old.
According to authorities, Riley is described as a Black female, standing 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing approximately 200 pounds. At the time of her disappearance, she had pierced ears and tongue, a scar on her nose, “Rest in Peace Mesha” tattooed on her left arm, and “LaQuanta” tattooed on her right arm. An age-progressed image has been created to show what she may look like as an adult.
Investigators are urging anyone with information, no matter how small, to come forward. Tips can be submitted anonymously through CrimeStoppers.
