TACOMA, Wash. — It’s been 26 years since two-year-old Teekah Lewis was kidnapped from a Tacoma bowling alley, and her disappearance remains a mystery.
She was last seen on Jan. 23, 1999, at about 10:30 p.m. at the New Frontier Lanes bowling alley on Center Street.
She had been playing in the arcade area of the bowling alley before she disappeared.
She was wearing a green Tweety Bird T-shirt, white sweatpants, and red, white, and black Air Jordan shoes at the time.
A maroon late 1980s or 90s Pontiac Grand Am with tinted windows and a spoiler was seen speeding away from the bowling alley parking lot shortly after she disappeared.
In 2020, Tacoma police announced that they’d developed a description of a person of interest.
Officers said there was a man at the bowling alley the night Lewis disappeared. He is described as white, about 30 to 40 years old, with brown curly hair, a mustache, and pockmarks on his face.
Detectives have also released age progression pictures, showing what she may look like now, in her mid-20s—still, no leads have been strong enough to point to what happened to Lewis.
The department and Lewis’ family aren’t giving up hope. Anyone with information that may help solve this case is asked to call Crime Stoppers of Tacoma/Pierce County at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
