In 2017, a 25-year-old young woman would vanish from Miamisburg, Ohio. That girl was Chelsey Coe.
Chelsey’s life was not without struggles, but she was trying. Because of Chelsey’s lifestyle, her family wasn’t immediately alarmed when they didn’t hear from her. Her mother remembers the last time she spoke to Chelsey was in July of 2017.
Sadly, it wouldn’t be until September 2017 that Chelsey was officially reported missing. The search for Chelsey was pretty intense and involved closing down local roads and parks while law enforcement conducted property searches, but Chelsey wouldn’t be found.
Chelsey was one of several young women to vanish in southern Ohio between 2014–2017. Are they connected? Or just a tragic coincidence?
It was 2019, and Paige Coffey loved her job at a retail store for women. She had attended Youngstown State University, in Youngstown, Ohio, with a major in Fashion Merchandising and enjoyed all things fashion and beauty.
Paige had been married and divorced, and in 2019, at age 27, she was dating once again.
Paige also had quite a large network of friends and family. She had recently lost her father and was exceptionally close with her mother, aunts, grandparents, and many cousins. This was a family that truly enjoyed being together.
In 2019, she had been staying with her grandparents in Bratenahl, Ohio- a close Cleveland suburb. She worked in Macedonia, Ohio, and usually had to get rides or take an Uber as she didn’t have a vehicle of her own.
On May 7, 2019, she was seen at Steelyard Commons Shopping plaza in Cleveland, with her boyfriend.
Herbert Allen was quite a character. In 2006, Herbert lived on East 340th Street in Cleveland, Ohio. He was divorced, retired, and enjoyed his weekly breakfast outing with friends at the Vasa Lodge.
Herbert, who usually went by Herb, was 78 years old in 2006. Since he was divorced and retired, he spent a lot of time alone, and most people described him as reclusive and quiet. Herb had some previous troubles in his life, but none of his friends were aware of anything- Herb was not the type of person to share these personal details with anyone.
Herb had seen a friend in Cleveland on November 23, 2006.
He would miss the next couple of weekly breakfast meetings with friends, and no one was quite sure what to think.
On December 12, Herb’s mini-van turned up in New Mexico, but Herb was nowhere to be found.
Deion Akemon had just arrived in Cincinnati, Ohio to visit family, especially his half-brother, William Roland.
Deion was living in Memphis, Tennessee, and was looking forward to seeing his brother, as he hadn’t seen him in a while, and they were very close.
Deion at age 32, was considered to be the ‘life of the party’, while his brother William, age 22, was the more laid-back one.
On Monday, September 26, 2005, the brothers went out on the town, hitting up a couple of bars. They eventually found themselves at the Parktown Cafe around 10:00 p.m.
A man called Deion and William outside, although witnesses weren’t sure why.
The brothers were never seen or heard from again.
NAMUS File Number or William: #MP9636
NAMUS File Number for Deion: #MP9638
All of these missing persons have loved ones waiting for them to come home, one way or another.
A lot more than just 5 are missing without a trace. Three right here in canton ohio alone that I’m aware of. All three women at that.
