TAMIKA ANTONETTE HUSTON, 24, has been missing from Spartanburg, South Carolina, since May 2004. That March, charges were filed against her boyfriend for hitting her. Just before her disappearance, her family learned that Tamika had been corresponding with Jermark “Chuck” Boozer, who was serving time in a federal prison in Edgfield, South Carolina. Tamika had dated Boozer when they were teenagers, before his incarceration on drug-related charges. On May 24, security cameras and a sign-in sheet from that day at Edgefield recorded Tamika’s visit to Boozer. Police believe it was the last verifiable date that she was seen alive. By June 1, Boozer writes to Tamika noting that he hasn’t seen or heard from her for several days. Then, in late 2004 America’s Most Wanted and Dateline NBC became interested in Tamika’s story. Last February, new forensic evidence came to light after America’s Most Wanted hired a locksmith to investigate a single key found in Tamika’s car, which led to an apartment. Records show that the man who lived there around the time Tamika went missing rented a steam cleaner on May 26 and then quickly moved out. According to police, the current suspect is a convicted felon currently being held on a parole violation. If you have information about her disappearance, contact the Spartanburg Public Safety Department at (864) 596-2035.
