I Was born in clarksdale ms and have lived here my entire life. i have only seen the gulf of mexico and have only been off a two lane hwy when i visit friends in Memphis. I grew up a skateboarder and loved photography. All the stereotypes about the south are completely true in this small town. Segregation still exists in the minds of the people here. I worked at a funeral home for 4and 1/2 years . went to college for mortuary science but decided it wasnt for me. I then went to a Toyota Dealership and became a car sales man. I Was making a killing (compared to my last job) but wasnt happy. Growing up in a Christian home and becoming Atheist really doesnt sit well here. You get shunned and most here arent very intelligent, therefore they think you are either crazy or they just hate you and tell you God hates people like you. Its Rediculous and I recently decided i wanted out. My Friends and Part of my Family is supportive and are giving me the funds to get there. I will be making the Drive alone and really have no idea what to expect. My biggest fear is getting there and not being able to afford anything or get a job. I dont know anyone from Seattle and will literally be lost when i get there. I am in much need of advice and right now you guys are my only hope for help.

Details of Disappearance
Armstead was last seen in the 4200 block of Springleaf Lane in Memphis, Tennessee at 11:00 a.m. on July 28, 2012. She has never been heard from again. On July 31, her black Acura TL with the Texas license plate number M05 VXZ was found abandoned and burned in a rural area near Little Simmons Road in Clarksdale, Mississippi, about an hour from Memphis.
Armstead's estranged husband, Tony Bledsoe, is a person of interest in her case. There was a history of domestic violence in their relationship and they were going through a divorce. Armstead was in the process of moving from Memphis to St. Louis, Missouri at the time of her disappearance; she had decided to relocate to get away from Bledsoe after he broke her jaw. Armstead had an order of protection against Bledsoe and after she disappeared, police arrested him for violating it. This was because, although the order required him to stay away from her, she was seen twice with him on the day she disappeared.
It's uncharacteristic of Armstead to leave without warning, and her family doesn't believe she would have abandoned her three sons. Foul play is suspected in her case, which remains unsolved.
Coahoma County, Mississippi police are investigating Armstead's disappearance.
