Human remains found on I-75 identified as missing teen: Lisa Ann Mowrey

Lisa Ann Mowrey has been missing since February 6, 2004 and has been featured on missing persons websites nationwide as well as on Tampa’s Crime Stoppers. Yesterday, the search for Lisa Ann Mowrey came to a chilling end as the human remains found along I-75 were positively identified through dental records to be Lisa Ann Mowrey.

What hasn’t ended, however, is the mystery into how she died, and the tragic final moments of the 18-year-old Manhattan Hairstyling Academy student’s life.

Lisa Mowrey was born on March 18, 1985 and was last seen at approximately 6:30 a.m., the morning of February 6, 2004. She had left her home near Tampa Shores Boulevard to attend school on Fletcher Avenue. Lisa never made it to school and was never seen from again.

On September 22, 2004, there was a possible sighting of a young woman believed to have possibly been Lisa. The sighting was a videotape from Lakeland, Florida showing residents as they applied for food stamps after a hurricane. Though some thought Lisa was possibly in line, there was no conclusive evidence to show that she was the woman in the video.

Lisa Ann Mowrey was listed as endangered missing as the circumstances surrounding her disappearance were unclear and she had vanished without taking her medications. Now, the investigation will focus on Lisa’s cause of death and the Hillsborough County Medical Examiner joined by an University of South Florida Anthropologist will try to establish a timeline for the date of death as well.

Tampa Police are conducting the investigation and will provide updates as they become available.
