Pregnant woman remains missing

Volunteers with Texas EquuSearch are expected to continue combing an area in northwest Harris County today as they look for a pregnant woman who disappeared last week during an apparent quarrel with her boyfriend.

Tierra Adams, 25, was last seen Jan. 29 near North Houston Rosslyn and Texas 249.

On Thursday, about 35 volunteers joined the effort to find Adams, who is nine months pregnant. Some were on foot while others used all-terrain vehicles at a nearby abandoned housing development.

"We searched a lot of area today but haven't come up with anything positive yet," said EquuSearch official Frank Black. "Some of the areas have been gone over two or three times."

Volunteers also climbed into the sewer system after discovering several open manholes in the area.


Boyfriend drove away
Houston police said Adams was in a car with her boyfriend when the two began arguing.

"According to the boyfriend, she got out of the car because she was upset," said John Cannon, a Houston police spokesman.

Police said the boyfriend then drove away. Police have questioned him and said Thursday no evidence exists at this point to indicate foul play.

EquuSearch officials said Thursday they haven't received any tips about possible sightings.

"That's not normally a good sign," Black said.

Black said another round of searching will begin about 8:30 a.m. today . The area will be expanded but still centered on where Adams was last seen.

The command center for the search is based at The Church at Willow Park, 12650 N. Houston Rosslyn. Volunteers must be at least 18.

Adams is 5-feet-6 and weighs about 200 pounds. She has black hair and brown eyes and was last seen wearing white capri pants and a black and white shirt.

Anyone with information about her whereabouts is asked to contact Houston police at 713-731-5353.
