Episode 318: Where Is Sonya Tukes?

On the night of May 10th, 2004, 22 year old Sonya Tukes was at her sister's home in Tennille, Georgia, when she received a phone call at approximately 1:15 am. Sonya told her sister, Barbara Tukes, that she was going to bed around 10 pm, due to an early work shift the next day, but the following morning when Barbara awoke around 5 am, Sonya was gone.
