White was last seen in the afternoon of August 22, 2006, on Metro Bus #128. She is believed to have been en route to her boyfriend's residence in the Tukwila, Washington area at the time. She has never been heard from again. White's loved ones stated it is uncharacteristic of her to be out of touch with them. There has been no activity on her cellular phone since her disappearance; prior to going missing, she used it frequently.

White's boyfriend has a criminal history and has allegedly given inconsistent statements to police about her disappearance. He is not being called a suspect in her case, however. White had a doctor's appointment scheduled for August 24, two days after her disappearance, and missed it.

Auburn, Washington police are investigating White's disappearance. She may have traveled to Tacoma, Washington or Detroit, Michigan after she went missing. Her case remains unsolved and foul play is suspected.
