An Indiana mother is turning to social media to ask for the public’s help in finding her missing 20-year-old daughter after she vanished from San Diego earlier this month.
According to Walker, the last time she heard from her daughter was on Nov. 5 when Norris called her mother from a stranger’s phone upset after an argument with her boyfriend.
In a Nov. 27 Facebook post, Walker writes how Norris had traveled to San Diego four days earlier to be with her boyfriend. Walker believes that the couple might have come into conflict after Norris arrived, and that the boyfriend may have left.
During their last phone call, Norris asked Walker if she had heard from her boyfriend and what number he had used to call her the night before.
“I let her go so she could call him, and I say ‘You call me back! I love you,'” Walker writes in the post. “The last words my daughter said were, ‘I will, Momma, I promise I love you more.'”
Norris’ family cannot locate her boyfriend, 26-year-old Joseph Smith, now either.

On Nov. 9, Walker filed a missing persons report with the San Diego Police Department, but she felt like the department did not take the report seriously.
On Tuesday, three weeks after Norris was reported missing, the San Diego Police Department announced they considered her to be “at-risk.”
Walker has since flown to San Diego with family members to search for her daughter. She spent her Thanksgiving handing out fliers.
“I don’t quit when others do, I won’t let you devalue my daughter’s precious life,” Walker writes. “I will only get louder from here on out. Lateche Norris has an army behind her and we’re only going to grow until she’s found and you do something to prevent this from happening to anyone else.”
Norris is described as standing 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing 160 pounds with dark brown/black hair and brown eyes. She was last seen on Nov. 4 at a 7-Eleven on Park Boulevard in San Diego wearing black leggings, a black sweatshirt, black tennis shoes with some white and carrying a black and white checkered backpack.
