Phoenix Coldon was just 23 when she disappeared from East St.Louis, IL. Her 1998 Chevy Blazer was found parked in a traffic lane at a stop sign, but there was no sign of where she went. In the days and weeks leading up to her disappearance she seemed paranoid and was telling people she was unhappy and just wanted to start over. This is one case where voluntary disappearance is a real, plausible theory.

Phoenix Coldon was a high achiever. She was homeschooled most of her life even though friends would later say she didn't like it very much; she wanted to experience the normal events and social life. She finally got this freedom and social life when she went to college at 18.

Her parents co-signed on an apartment that they thought she was sharing with a female friend but later found out she was sharing with a secret boyfriend. This was not the only secret Phoenix had before her disappearance.

Phoenix's car was found in a traffic lane in East St.Louis, IL just hours after she disappeared but her parent's didn't find out about it until about two weeks later. For years it was reported that the car was on with the keys in the ignition and the door was open when found...but the officer that responded to the call of a abandoned car later stated that none of this was true.

Lots of things about Phoenix's life came out during the investigation into her disappearance. She had two phones to hide her secret boyfriend from her other boyfriend and from her parents. She had recorded a video in her car stating she wasn't happy and just wanted to start over. She had been fighting with her supposedly to strict parents. She had also thought people were following her and even pulled a knife on her best friend.
