Huggy was last seen at a family member's residence in Patrician Apartments on Nursery Road and Belcher Road in Clearwater, Florida on April 7, 1982. She was supposed to receive a car ride to the Countryside Mall from an unidentified male friend known only as Don. She apparently also planned to spend the day at the beach with a group of acquaintances. Huggy was scheduled to return to her grandmother's house later in the evening, and start a new job at a Wendy's fast food restaurant the next day. She has never been heard from again. Huggy resided in Holiday, Florida at the time of her 1982 disappearance.

Authorities exhumed the body of an unidentified female in Tampa, Florida in June 2001, hoping that they would be able to identify Huggy. The woman had been tied to a concrete block and dumped in the ocean off of Anna Maria Island in Florida in 1982. Huggy's dental records did not match the victim and her case remains unsolved.
