The Memphis community has been alerted to urgently look out for a local mother and her very young daughter, both of whom went missing under distressing circumstances. Angel Coleman, 41, and her one-year-old child, Destiny Threak, were reported to have disappeared yesterday, in what the Memphis Police Department (MPD) has referred to as being a "crisis" situation. As reported by Local Memphis, Coleman was notably paranoid and driving erratically when last seen in her black 2014 Buick Enclave around Democrat Road and Tchulahoma Road, early this morning.
Coleman's mental health conditions include bipolar disorder and paranoid schizophrenia, adding an ominous layer to her and her daughter's disappearance. The MPD has issued statements stressing the need for urgent medical attention for the safety and welfare of Coleman and her daughter. Similarly, FOX13 Memphis provided details of Coleman's last known actions, adding that the vehicle with Tennessee license plate number BBX6182 was last tracked early Thursday morning in the same area where Coleman was reported to be driving erratically.
The urgency of the situation has been echoed across various platforms, with the Memphis Police Department taking to social media to amplify the search. In a plea for public assistance, they posted on their official handle, "***CITY WATCH*** Have you seen Destiny Treak and Angel Coleman?" The concise message, aimed at spreading the word as quickly as possible, is accessible on their X page. This signals an all-hands-on-deck approach, seeking to leverage the power of the community in tracing the missing pair.
