More specifically, she began working without the app because she figured she would make more money.
After Felicia talked to Ella on Tuesday, March 8, though, she had no idea that would be the last time she ever spoke to her friend.
During that call, the pair reportedly discussed their weekend plans. Ella also revealed how she had met some new people and had been driving them places.
Then, come Wednesday, Felicia became concerned after she phoned Ella and got no response. So, on Thursday, she reached out to Ella’s two teenage children and asked them to have their mother call her.
At the time, Ella’s children did not tell Felicia they had not seen their mother since Wednesday. According to Felicia, though, the kids might not have realized it was time to worry.
“They [Ella’s children] didn’t tell me anything until I called them again on Friday. She had said she was gonna do a trip to Texas, and she would be back at night– maybe they felt there was no need to panic,” Felicia explained.
Tragically, though, Ella never arrived back home. And by March 11, her brother reported her missing to the Louisiana State Police Department.
Investigators later shared a press release on April 1, confirming that March 9, 2022, was the last time Ella had been seen.
The release was subsequently updated to reveal that Ella’s car, a black 2012 Audi Q5, had been located in St. Joseph, Missouri– 13 hours away from her home.
“Detectives and investigators from Louisiana State Police, Scott Police Department, and St. Joseph Police Department will continue to work together to locate Ella Quiana Goodie, who is still missing,” the release added.
By May 3, though, a Facebook update by the Louisiana State Police Department revealed that Ella’s case investigation had changed courses.
