Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP5892) and 7 other sources
Stephanie Michele Buehler, 18, was last seen on September 8, 1990, in Houston, Texas. On the day of her disappearance, Stephanie's car experienced a flat tire, leading her to park near Westheimer Road and Beltway 8. Investigators believe that she attempted to walk the short distance back to her home but never arrived. Despite extensive searches, she has not been seen since, and authorities suspect foul play.

Stephanie was known for her distinctive tattoos, including a red and black heart with the word "Taxi" on her left shoulder, a skull on her chest, the phrase "Wicked Innocence" with a skull on her right shoulder, and a red rose with a spider web on the back of her right shoulder. Her case remains unsolved, and she is listed as an endangered missing person.

Law enforcement continues to encourage anyone with information about her disappearance to come forward. Despite the passing years, her family and investigators remain hopeful for answers in the ongoing investigation.
Last Seen: Sep 8, 1990
