Tabitha Queen, a 29-year-old mother of three was abducted from her home by an unidentified man in Bastrop, Louisiana the day after Mother's Day on May 10th, 2021. With little assistance from local police who have treated Tabitha's case more as a runaway and less like a potential homicide, the colossal challenge of conducting an investigation has fallen onto the shoulders of Tabitha's mother, Mary Lunford. Flash forward seven months, Tabitha Queen is still missing with no leads and the police have not asked for the FBI's assistance and resources. Mary's experience in trying to get her daughter's case taken seriously is a painful reminder of the unequal treatment of missing persons' cases within black and minority communities that demands to be addressed.
