Missing from: Rosedale, Maryland
Missing: March 6, 2005
Age at Disappearance: 32
Height: 5′ 4″
Weight: 130
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Blue
Distinguishing Characteristics: Scars, Marks, Tattoos: Caucasian female. She has a black ink tattoo of a bird on her right ankle and a tattoo of a large bird on her lower middle back. A photograph of one of the tattoos is posted below. Tracey’s ears are pierced and she bleaches her hair.
Details of Disappearance: Tracey was last seen at approximately 3:00 p.m. on March 6, 2005 at her residence in the vicinity of the 7000 block of Bluegrass Road in Rosedale, Maryland. She was planning to meet friends that evening to attend a Motley Crue music concert at the MCI Center in Washington, D.C.; her friends had bought her a concert ticket for her birthday.
There is a record of her black 1996 Pontiac Trans Am passing through the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel southbound at 7:48 p.m. The vehicle was located on March 17, eleven days later, in the parking lot of a Days Inn in the vicinity of the 6600 block of Richie Highway in Glen Burnie, Maryland.
Motley Crue posted a reward for information leading to Tracey’s safe return, but the offer yielded no viable tips.
Tracey was reported afraid of her husband, Dennis Joseph Tetso, at the time of her disappearance and was contemplating divorce. They had only been married for about six months. She had begun a relationship with a coworker in January 2005, and was planning to attend the concert with him.
Dennis was the one who reported her disappearance to police, but afterward he refused to cooperate with the investigation or participate in search efforts.
In June 2009, over four years after Tracey’s disappearance, Dennis was arrested and charged with her murder. At his trial in October 2010, the prosecution alleged he was an abusive husband who killed Tracey after he found out she was having an affair. Tracey never arrived at the concert and has never been heard from again. Her cellular phone has been turned off since her disappearance; the last recorded call was at 3:05 p.m. on March 6.
