Cause of Death: Upper Body Trauma

Her Body was found buried in a shallow grave at 211 North 71st Street (aka Six Mile Creek), Tampa Florida on March 6th, 2007 - she had been there for approximately 3 weeks. Time/date of death is estimated to be February 16th or 17th, 2007 between midnight and 3am

Tracy lived two lives - one as a loving mother willing to do anything for her children only one semester from graduating from USF, the other as a prostitute and drug addict (heroin and crack)

This behavior began after the suicide of her brother (he had been hospitalized with schizophrenia) - she became severely depressed, was medicated with Prozac and Zoloft and possibly other medications. Over time, she developed a resistance and when her doctors wouldn't increase the dosage anymore, she began to self medicate. This eventually lead to the abuse of various legal and illegal drugs.

She remained close to her parents, particularly her mother

She sometimes squatted at a set of apartments located at 3619 Orient Road

Theory One
Tracy was killed in a house, then moved moved to 2110 North 71st Street (Sweeping Company). The carpet in this house was then replaced. If this is true, we need to locate the carpet (and possibly a mattress and/or sheets) which would be covered in blood.

Theory Two
Tracy left a known crack house with Orville Kerr (and possibly others) to go to Circle K. Orville Kerr (and possibly others) returned to the house without her.

Theory Three
Tracy was killed in a house as mentioned in Theory One, then the people in that house simply told authorities that she left and didn't return as a cover.

Wanted for Questioning? - Call 202-403-2999 to speak to one of our volunteers

is a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting families who have lost a loved one to violent crime. There are literally thousands of murders each year which languish in police files while desperate families wait hopelessly for answers that may ease their suffering. We take these cases from the bottom of the files and moves them up to the top. We start at the beginning, with no bias, and re-examine all existing evidence. With sophisticated computer technology, crime photos are enhanced for new leads, background data is gathered, and group meetings are held to obtain a range of ideas and input. We have an extensive variety of volunteers working with us, including private investigators, handwriting experts, psychologists, and legal advisors. We also believe in involving the bereaved family to the extent that they are able; experience has proven to us that bad news is easier to live with than no news. We have seen grief slowly dissipate as survivors begin to take an active part in dealing with their tragedy, rather than remaining an isolated victim.

We share all information with the appropriate law enforcement agency, who may use it for potential arrests and solutions.

While law enforcement does an excellent job the truth is there are many cases they simply can't solve on their own. This is due to limited resources (spread thin) and the freshness of evidence. As a community we can help them make a difference, we can bring new eyes to a case, new ideas, and new information.

We survive on your donations. If you can help, please click the button below, every dollar counts.

With your help, we can solve the unsolvable.
