Missing Gwinnett Woman Hasn't Contacted Family in Weeks

BUFORD, GA — Georgia authorities are asking for help finding a Buford mother of two who hasn't been in contact with her family since October 7.

Tosha Reed Herron, 36, was first reported missing by her father on October 9.

Since then, her car has been found having apparently gone off the side of a mountain road in Lavonia, up Interstate 85 in northeast Georgia's Lumpkin County.

Her family said she was planning to visit friends in Blue Ridge.

Lumpkin County authorities say an extensive search was conducted in the area of her car, but that she was not found.

Family members fear someone may have abducted her after the crash, or that she may be somewhere and not know who she is.

The family has received more than one tip that she may have been spotted in the Gainesville area.

According to the original missing-person report in Gwinnett County, Tosha dropped off her two children in Lawrenceville with her estranged husband at about 6 p.m. on October 7.

The two had a verbal argument and she drove away, the husband told police.

Anyone with information in the case, or who thinks they may have spotted Tosha Herron is asked to contact their local authorities.
