Alexandria "Ali" Joy Lowitzer, born on February 3, 1994, was last seen on April 26, 2010, in Spring, Texas. At the time of her disappearance, she was 16 years old, stood 5'2" tall, and weighed approximately 145 pounds. Ali is a Caucasian female with blue eyes and brown hair that was dyed dark red when she went missing. She has pierced ears and nose, pink braces on her teeth, and a faint chickenpox scar between her eyes. On the day she disappeared, Ali was wearing a white t-shirt or spaghetti-strap top, a gray hooded zip-up sweatshirt, black and white checkered skinny jeans, and black sneakers. She was carrying a blue LG/AT&T slide cellular phone and a multicolored checkered backpack with a dark-colored strap.
Ali was last seen after getting off her school bus near her home at 3:00 p.m. She called her mother to inform her that she planned to walk to her workplace, the Burger Barn on Treaschwig Road, to pick up her paycheck. Although the restaurant was only about a quarter-mile from her home, Ali had never walked there before. She mentioned she didn't have her house key, but her mother told her the house was unlocked. Ali never arrived at the Burger Barn and has not been heard from since.
Initially, Ali's case was classified as a runaway. However, she left behind personal items that a runaway would typically take, such as her makeup, purse, phone charger, clothes, and money. Her cellular phone, which she used frequently, has not been active since her disappearance. Entries in her journal suggested she had thoughts of running away, but her family believes these writings were not recent.
Ali was an artistic and well-behaved teenager involved in softball, choir, and the Girl Scouts. She preferred socializing at home, often inviting friends over. Several weeks after her disappearance, homicide detectives began investigating her case, not necessarily indicating foul play but due to the length of time she had been missing without leads. Her case remains unsolved.
