Ellington was last heard from when she texted friends stating that she was going to meet someone in Louisville, Mississippi. Ellington made the drive from her hometown, Kosciusko, Mississippi. The drive between the two towns takes less than an hour. After not hearing from Ellington, her friends became worried and began looking for her. Her friends located her Chevrolet Suburban in the Wal-Mart parking lot in Louisville, Mississippi. Her purse was inside the vehicle so her friends immediately reported her missing. 

Authorities reviewed surveillance video taken from the Wal-Mart parking lot. In the video, Ellington’s Suburban is seen parking in the parking lot, Ellington exits the vehicle and begins walking towards a McDonald’s and Taco Bell before walking out of the camera’s range. Ellington never returned to her vehicle and has not been seen or heard from since.

Ellington was the guardian of and was raising her 8-year-old grandson. She also owned a gym in Kosciusko, Mississippi. Ellington never made it to meet up with the person she planned to meet in Louisville that day. After seven years of no contact, a memorial was held in celebration of Ellington’s life. Her case remains unsolved at this time.
