Wynikqua Dean, 27: The Search Continues For Missing Michigan Woman
Weeks ago, Wynikqua Dean left her group home in Mundy Township, Michigan, to meet up with a man. It is unclear why the 27-year-old lived at the residence; little information about her personal life has been shared. However, the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System reported she was communicating with a man she met on a phone chat service called Vibeline. Her acquaintance hasn’t been identified. The few local news stations to report on this case didn’t even mention the encounter.
Wynikqua got together with the man sometime during the day on February 10. It was further shared he drove her to a Marathon gas station on Ryan Road in Warren. The business is about an hour from her group home. She then left the location around 10:00 p.m. and was spotted walking on Ryan Road, traveling south. Authorities claim Wynikqua visited the Blue Diamond Market just down the street from the gas station. She was said to have been there for a couple of hours before leaving.

The nature of her correspondence with the man from the chat line or what information he could provide to the authorities has not been shared publicly. Local news stations also have not spoken with Wynikqua Dean’s loved ones, and how they have processed her disappearance is unclear. Additionally, Wynikqua has a Facebook account, but her activity on the app is unspecified due to security settings.
