Summary

What happened, as the record shows.

In the early morning hours of June 30, 2014, a neighbor saw a man drag Nefertiri Renise Trader, 33, a mother of three, through her front yard on Freedom Trail in the Saddlebrook community of New Castle, Delaware and force her into the back seat of her silver 2000 Acura RL before driving away. The neighbor believed she was being taken to a hospital and did not call 911. Her family reported her missing at 9:37 p.m. that night. Neither Trader nor her car has ever been recovered, and the man who took her has never been identified. The FBI joined the New Castle County Police investigation in 2015. No one has been arrested or charged.
