Background

Morgan Aryn Bauer was born on April, 13, 1996, in Memphis, Tennessee to mother Sherri Keenan. In 2014, Bauer graduated from Central High School in Aberdeen, South Dakota.

At the time of her disappearance, Morgan had recently moved to Atlanta, Georgia where she was staying in different motels and working as an exotic dancer.

Disappearance

Upon arriving in Atlanta, Morgan stayed the night at the house of a man she had met online through Craigslist. She had arranged to do house chores for the man in exchange for rent until she found a job.

Those arrangements fell through on her second day in Atlanta, and Morgan was asked to leave. For the next few days Morgan found herself moving between various motels and working as an exotic dancer at a strip club in Gainesville, Georgia

On February 25, 2016, Morgan applied for a job at Tease, a strip club on Cheshire Bridge Road in Atlanta, Georgia.

Upon being questioned by authorities, the couple stated that they dropped Morgan off at a Citgo gas station in Covington, Georgia on February 27, where she was last seen getting into a green Mitsubishi Eclipse car.

Both Morgan and the coworker had applied for a job at Tease on the same day, and Morgan reportedly offered to buy the woman her Adult Entertainment License which was required for exotic dancers in Atlanta.

    Odd the police don’t think her disappearance is suspicious.
    Also her lifestyle was conducive for a bad ending.
    Would suspect she is dead. Terrible waste of a young life.
