Monica Lynn Appleton Above Images: Appleton, circa 1999 Vital Statistics at Time of Disappearance Missing Since: October 13, 1999 from Pampa, Texas Classification: Endangered Missing Date Of Birth: May 21, 1970 Age: 29 years old Height and Weight: 5'5, 100 - 111 pounds Distinguishing Characteristics: Blonde hair, hazel eyes. Appleton may use the names Monique Larue, Monica Larua and/or Monica Lynn Larua. Some agencies refer to her as Monica Larue Appleton. Her ears are pierced. She may have a small scar on one of her knees. Appleton's hair was waist-length at the time of her disappearance. Medical Conditions: Appleton has a history of drug abuse. Details of Disappearance Appleton was last seen by her mother at approximately 5:00 p.m. on October 13, 1999 in in the vicinity of the 100 block of northeast 9th Avenue in northwest Amarillo, Texas. Appleton's mother said her daughter appeared to be frightened about something, but refused say what was disturbing her, or to accompany her mother back to their family's residence in Pampa, Texas. Appleton has never been heard from again. Her relatives reported her missing from their home in Pampa in November 1999. Appleton was last known to be in the company of Ivory Tealer, also known as T and/or T-Baby. When he was interviewed by investigators, Tealer stated that he did not know Appleton's whereabouts. He has since refused to speak any further about to the police about her disappearance. Appleton left behind her son and daughter, which her loved ones said is extremely uncharacteristic of her. She had been divorced from her husband for about a year prior to her disappearance, and her children lived with her mother. She saw them regularly prior to going missing, but has not had contact with them since she vanished. She has also not picked up her child support checks from her ex-husband; he stopped paying support less than a year after Appleton disappeared. Appleton's mother received a phone call from an unidentified man on August 20, 2000. The individual claimed that he was a gang member and witnessed Appleton's alleged murder at a hog farm in Amarillo, Texas shortly after her disappearance. He said that another member killed Appleton, then disposed of her remains at the farm. The individual claimed that her body would never be located. The man terminated the call before Appleton's mother could learn additional details. The information he provided has never been confirmed and no supporting evidence has been located. Appleton's brother, a law enforcement officer in the Pampa area, told reporters that he learned his sister may have been involved with gang members, prostitution and the drug culture in 1999. Appleton frequently visited the Amarillo area at the time. Her brother stated that it would be uncharacteristic of Appleton to leave her children without warning. She may have traveled to El Paso, Texas; Houston, Texas; or Baltimore, Maryland after her disappearance. Her case remains unsolved.

http://www.findmonicaappleton.com/about.php FIND MONICA APPLETON.COM Written by Monica's brother: Monica was born May 21, 1970 in Pampa Texas . When last seen, she was 5 ft. 5 inches tall, weighing about 120 pounds. She had blonde hair and her eyes are hazel. She was last seen on October 13, 1999, by our mother, in Northwest Amarillo, Texas, on 17th and Hughes Street . At the time she was last seen, by our mother, she appeared to be scared about something but would not go with our mother. She told our mother to get out of the area. Monica kept looking over her shoulder. Our mother asked her what was wrong and Monica would not say at the time. Monica told our mother that she would tell her later, she never did. In November 1999, I attempted to make a missing persons report to the Amarillo Texas Police Department, they refused to make the report. I then went back to my department in Pampa and made a report since her actual permenant address was there. Unfortunately Monica had fallen into a vicious circle of drugs and prostitution. Like so many other people, she was human, and she had problems. Monica would come home every other day or so to see her children, who lived with family members. Monica had been divorced from her husband (Marlon Larue) for about a year. He had little to do with the children and it is the same to this day. He stopped paying child support within a year after Monica's disappearance. The last known person that Monica was known to have been with is a man named Ivory Tealer (aka - "T" or "T baby") who lived in Amarillo, Texas, which is about 60 miles from Pampa. Tealer was interviewed but stated that he did not know where Monica was. After being interviewed more he advised the investigators that he would not talk anymore unless his attorney was present. The interview was terminated and there has been no further questioning of Mr. Tealer. Throughout the 5 years since Monica went missing, leads and or rumors have been followed up on with no luck. There are some who say Monica was killed and others think she is in hiding. She never had before stayed away from her family, so why start now? I dedicated a section on a website just for Monica and her case. Local and area newspaper articles were printed asking for any information in regards to Monica's disappearance. As to my knowledge few leads were developed from this. None of which panned out. Note: The information contained in this website does not reflect the current Police Administration. The case had gone cold way before the current Chief took over. The current Chief is now working to make the Pampa PD one of the best police departments in the Texas Panhandle. According to one Detective, past circumstances prevented her from full investigation. I have to agree. Now we have an opportunity to make things right. An Account has been established in an effort to raise money for a substantial reward and to help defray some of the cost of flyers and other material to get this case out into the public eye. We can't forget Monica and we don't want anyone else to either. |
