Investigators are still working to learn what happened to a local mother last seen a year ago.

Thursday, Dayton Police Department said they are continuing to investigate who is responsible for the disappearance of Cierra Chapman.

Chapman was last seen in the early morning hours on Dec. 27, 2022, leaving her ex-boyfriend’s apartment in Trotwood, police said.

Her car was found on Jan. 6 in Middletown.

Chapman’s purse and other personal items were located inside of her vehicle.

Dayton Police Major Brian Johns previously told News Center 7 that her disappearance was ‘suspicious’ and appeared “well planned out.”

“No phone contact with her, we don’t have any financial records, where she had used any money, which is very, very odd,” Johns said.
