Teekah Lewis, age 2, disappeared over a decade ago and has never been found. Her mother says her other daughter, a teenager was the victim of an attempted child luring on Monday.

The mother of Teekah Lewis, a Tacoma toddler who disappeared
over a decade ago, says her teenage daughter was the victim
of an attempted child luring.

Tacoma police spokesman Mark Fulghum says
detectives are investigating the claims of Theresa Lewis.

She reported a man approached her 14-year-old daughter at a
Tacoma convenience store Monday, asked the girl how old she
was, then told her she was cute and wanted to take her with
him, according to Fulghum.

The man then drove away,
reportedly with two young children in the back seat.

Teekah Lewis disappeared Jan. 23, 1999 from New Frontier
Lanes bowling alley in Tacoma. She was 2 years old at the time.
She has never been found.
