Hall called her mother from her after-school job in the 3300 or 5300 block of Faucett Road in Pine Bluff, Arkansas at approximately 8:00 p.m. on May 9, 1994. Hall was employed by Dr. Larry Amos at the time, and did clerical work out of his home at that location. Her family members normally gave her a ride home after her shift ended at 8:30 p.m. She told her mother she would call again after she clocked out for the evening. Hall's mother fell asleep at their residence shortly after their conversation. She woke up at 1:00 a.m. and realized her daughter had never called. Her mother telephoned Dr. Amos and was told that Hall departed at approximately 8:30 p.m. when her ride arrived. No one else had been scheduled to pick her up, however. Hall has never been heard from again. She did not have her purse, identification, any money, or access to a car when she vanished.

Authorities do not believe Hall left of her own accord. She got along well with her family, was ranked as the top student in her graduating high school class at Watson Chapel High School, and does not have a history of running away. Hall was also excited about her upcoming high school graduation ceremony, which took place two weeks after her disappearance. She was going to give the commencement addresse. She was planning to major in pre-medicine at Tennessee State University and dreamed of becoming a pediatrician. She wasn't dating anyone at the time of her disappearance.

Hall was active in school and church activities, including her school and church choirs and school band, at the time of her disappearance. She enjoys reading. Foul play is suspected in Hall's case; investigators believe she was probably murdered by someone she knew and trusted. Her case remains unsolved.
