The cold case of Teekah Lewi

Lewis’ case is one of the most notorious cold cases in Tacoma. It has been assumed she was abducted from the New Frontier Bowling Alley in Tacoma.

“It was sad at the time that nobody knew where she was, and now this, in our own neighborhood,” neighbor Stephanie said.

Ironically, the property where this search is ongoing was owned by a family with the surname Lewis.
