The last time anybody saw Porschette Charslyn Evans, she was wheeling a yellow and blue backpack at Gallaudet University, the school in Washington for the deaf and hard of hearing.
That was six years ago, and friends and family cling to the hope that she is still alive, maybe living in a homeless shelter.

There are few details in Evans’ case.
Evans could not hear or speak. She also had a medical condition that required extensive treatment and left scars on her body.
Evans was last seen around 4 p.m. on May 10, 2004, at the campus around the 800 block of Florida Avenue NE. At the time, Evans was 23 years old, 5-foot-5 and 115 pounds.
Evans had brown hair that she sometimes wore in braids. And she also went by the nickname Porcia.
She had a dark-colored oval birthmark on her outer right thigh, scars on her chest from when she had to use a breathing machine, a 3-inch surgical scar on her neck and a three-quarter-inch surgical scar on her left calf.
She wore metal orthodontic braces and may be missing some of her teeth.
When she walked off the campus, she was wearing a gold necklace with a Lady of Guadalupe pendant and a black Timex watch with a wide band on her left wrist. She also wore a gold Lee High School class ring set with a garnet, a heart-shaped ring on her left pinkie, small hoop earrings, and possibly N.Y. brand jeans, a T-shirt and gray Skechers sneakers.
Anyone with information about Evans can call the D.C. police department at 202-727-9099.
