Missing Mom's Vehicle Found Charred
Mom Left Home Last Tuesday, Said She Would Be Back In 2 Hours

DETROIT -- Police are one step closer to solving the mystery of a missing 20-year-old mother from Detroit.

Regina McDaniel has been missing for more than a week, but on Wednesday, the car she was last seen in was found charred at a southwest Detroit scrap yard.

Regina McDaniel's mother, also named Regina McDaniel, told police that her daughter borrowed her 2004 silver Mercury last Tuesday to go out with some friends. The elder Regina McDaniel said that before her daughter left their home on the 200 block of Merton Road at about 10 p.m., she told her she would be back in a few hours. She has not been seen or heard from since.

The elder Regina McDaniel said she is distraught and she believes something terrible happened to her daughter because she would never leave her 2-year-old son for that long.

"Never, ever has she ever disappeared without calling us or calling the baby so he could hear her voice," said a distraught Regina McDaniel about her daughter.

GPS tracking inside of the Mercury located it at Boulevard and Trumball towing located at Dix Road and Central Avenue.

The owner said the car was dropped off Tuesday afternoon, but he would not allow Regina McDaniel's family to see it because police needed to examine the vehicle for evidence first.

"I have been praying for her. For whatever ordeals she has come across, to just survive it. Just survive it baby and come home to your mama," said the elder Regina McDaniel.

Investigators said they talked to younger Regina's friends, but they all say they have not received a phone call or a text message from her since last Tuesday.

The younger Regina McDaniel is black, about 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighs about 135 and has brown eyes and straight long brown hair.

She was last seen wearing a pink jacket, blue jeans, and leopard print boots.

Her family described her as being in good mental and physical health.

The worried mother said she just can't stop crying and her grandson keeps calling for his mommy.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Detroit Police Department.
