Phoenix Coldon Disappeared

Name: Phoenix Coldon
Age:
23 years old
Last seen: December 18, 2011
Location: Spanish Lake, Missouri
Status: Still missing

Case Information

23 year old Phoenix Coldon was last seen leaving her family home in the 12600 block of Countrybrook Drive in Spanish Lake, Missouri on December 18, 2011.

She left in her 1988 black Chevrolet Blazer at approximately 2:20 pm, and hasn’t been seen or heard from since.

Background

Phoenix Coldon was born in California as Phoenix Reeves on May 23, 1988. She was raised in California until the family moved to Missouri for her father’s job where she was adopted by Lawrence Coldon.

Phoenix was often home schooled, was the local junior fencing champion, and played a variety of musical instruments.

At the time of her disappearance she was a junior at the University of Missouri, but wasn’t enrolled in any fall classes.

Disappearance

On December 18, 2011, Phoenix and her mother Goldia went to church and the grocery store. After they returned home Phoenix changed into her sweatpants and hoodie and headed outside to shoot hoops.

Her father saw her get into her 1988 black Chevrolet Blazer in the driveway at approximately 2:20 pm and drive away. She hasn’t been seen or heard from since.

Initially her family thought she may have gone to the store, but when she didn’t return home they reported her missing the next morning.

Investigation

At 5:27 pm, just hours after she disappeared, Phoenix Coldon’s car was found abandoned with the driver’s side door open, about 25 minutes from her house on St. Clair Avenue in East St. Louis. It was impounded at 6:23 pm.

Her vehicle was entered into the police database as abandoned, but was not initially discovered by Missouri police since it had been impounded in Illinois.

Her family was reportedly never told about her car being found, and only discovered it on January 2nd after a family friend found it in a tow lot. Her glasses, purse, and ID were still inside the vehicle.

There has been no activity on her bank accounts, cell phone or social media since she disappeared.

DNA evidence from her vehicle indicated no other individuals had been inside other than Phoenix and her parents.

Described as responsible, sweet, and intelligent, her family says her disappearance is completely out of character.

Whereabouts

The location of Phoenix Coldon, as well as the circumstances surrounding her disappearance, remain a mystery. Her case remains unsolved.

    In the Phoenix Coldon case , I feel what’s up with the parents? For parents of a missing child , they seem very unorganized , no records , seemed surprised by the items found in the car that are in their possession, her mother is controlling.
    I wonder if she just wasn’t a suicide? I know awful to say but she seemed on the edge of a mental break down …..

    The mom is unwilling to reveal any information that would put Phoenix or the family in a bad light. Most families of someone missing, from my experience in following many missing persons cases, will give any information whether positive or negative to police or investogators in hopes of finding the missing family member. As Judge Juldy would say, if something doesn’t make sense, it’s not true. The family doesn’t want to admit Phoenix left on her own accord. Whatever transpired after she left is still to be determined.
