Background
Laurel Lea Rogers was born on June 4, 1981, to mother Lauretta Rogers. She has one brother and one sister.
At age sixteen, Rogers was diagnosed with lupus, a chronic auto-immune disease that attacked her kidneys. She also suffers from fibromyalgia, a condition that causes chronic pain all over the body.
For twelve years Rogers had been on medication, and was taking ten prescription medications to help ease her chronic pain, seizures, and kidney problems.
At the time of her disappearance, Rogers lived in a house on Horizon View Boulevard in the city of Port Orange, Florida.
Disappearance
On February 1, 2010, Rogers was last seen at her house on Horizon View Boulevard at 5:20 pm. Her brother went outside to exercise on a workout bench in the backyard when Rogers supposedly grabbed her purse and went out.
Rogers never returned home, and hasn’t been seen or heard from since. She disappeared without any medication, which were all left behind at home.
On February 2, 2010, Rogers’ family filed a missing persons report with the Port Orange Police Department after she failed to answer her phone or return any calls.
Investigation
Authorities believed Rogers was possibly picked up by a friend from her house or at a local convenience store, as her own car was broken down and parked in the driveway.
On February 2, 2010, a call was made from Rogers’ cell phone to one of her friends at 6:43 pm. An unknown male named “Jamal” said Rogers left her phone with him, and that she was in the company of two unknown males named “Kenny” and “Breezy.”
The cell phone’s GPS signal was last traced to an area in New Port Richey, Florida. Since Laurel Rogers’s disappearance, her bank account and phone records have had no activity.
Rogers disappeared without her medication, which were all left behind at home. None of her prescriptions have been filled since she went missing, and without medication she is in jeopardy of complete organ failure.
According to her family, Rogers struggled with prescription drug abuse due to her chronic pain. She reportedly frequented areas known for drug activity in Daytona Beach, Florida, to use and sell prescription drugs.
At the time of her disappearance, Rogers was on probation for a 2009 theft conviction. In addition to being a missing person, she is classified as an absconder/fugitive.
