'I Won't Give Up, I Know She's Out There'
No trace of then 2-year-old Teekah Lewis who vanished at the Frontier Lanes Bowling Alley in Tacoma January 23, 1999. If she is still alive she'd be 6-years old. An age progression photo of what she might look like now is shown here on the right. (more can be found at www.ncmec.org)
"There is a lot of angles to this case that is very hot for me to pursue," private investigator Edward Lewis told KOMO 4 News. Lewis is the private investigator who has been working for Teekah's family for the last two years.
While Tacoma Police detectives have not given up on the case they have stated they believe the girl is probably dead. Lewis says he is following leads that he says police didn't follow: a Western State Hospital patient and a suspicious taxi driver. He's also enlisted the help of two psychics.
"And they have come up with similar type impressions of where they feel the body may be."
Lewis says that doesn't mean that he believes the girl is dead. He says he's working on the assumption that Teekah is alive and that he will find her. Lewis says he hopes people perhaps afraid to talk to police about the case will be willing to talk to him.
"One of those people could come forward that did not want to talk to law enforcement, I'd be willing to talk to them, I would check out all leads."
"I won't give up. I know she's out there," said Teekah's mom. "For a mother of six I've never felt that she was gone. Because I know she's alive. She's out there somewhere."
