Distinguishing Characteristics: Scars, Marks, Tattoos: African-American female. Her hair was styled in tiny braids below her shoulders at the time of her disappearance, and she wore acrylic fingernails. Wells has a scar under her chin and a scar on the left side of her forehead. Her earlobes are pierced two times each.
Details of Disappearance: Tamala was last seen leaving her home in the 19700 block of Appleton in Detroit, Michigan at 9:30 p.m. on August 6, 2012. She was driving her four-door Pontiac Grand Prix at the time; it’s painted white with black bumpers. Her mother spoke to her on the phone later that night.
Tamala never returned home and has never been heard from again. Three days later, her Pontiac was found abandoned on Coventry between Emery and Lantz, just a few blocks from her residence. There were a few clothing items inside it, but no sign of Wells.
Tamala left behind two children. She lived with Rickey Tennant, her boyfriend of fifteen years, at the time of her disappearance. Although there’s no evidence of a crime in Wells’s case, her family is baffled by her disappearance. Her case remains unsolved.
