## Resource

Teekah Lewis was last seen on January 23, 1999, at New Frontier Lanes, a bowling alley in Tacoma, Washington. The 2-year-old was with her mother, younger sister Tameeka, and other family and friends. Teekah had been playing a game in the arcade area when her mother stepped away briefly to take her turn bowling. When she turned around, Teekah was gone. Dateline’s Josh Mankiewicz speaks with Teekah’s mother Theresa Czapiewski, Teekah’s sister Katarina Johnson, and Sergeant Julie Dier of the Tacoma Police Department. Teekah was last seen wearing white sweats, a green Tweety Bird shirt, and red, black and white Air Jordans. She would be 29 years old this year. Anyone with information about Teekah’s disappearance is asked to call the Tacoma Police Department at 253-591-5950.
