On May 20th, 2016, 49-year-old Tammy Rummel disappeared from Covina, California. Neighbors witnessed a man pick her up from her home that day in an SUV. The two were later seen on an ATM surveillance video. Tammy took money out of her account while the man stood next to her. That’s the last sighting of Tammy. Her phone would later power down that same day, having never left the Covina area. They would later identify the man that she was seen with on the surveillance video. He was pulled over for a routine traffic stop and officers found drugs along with some of Tammy’s belongings in his vehicle but he claims that he had nothing to do with her disappearance. Tammy has now been missing for over two years. Her family is desperately seeking answers as to what happened to her. They don’t believe that she would’ve walked away from her children and grandchildren.

She dropped her daughter off and left to meet him at the Hillsboro Civic Center in Hillsboro, Missouri. Amanda promised to be back in a couple hours. When she didn't return, her family grew concerned because she was so close to her due date. They were worried that she may be experiencing a medical emergency.
