The Strange Disappearance of 33-Year-Old Terry Lynn Tersak

Terry Tersak was living in Asheville, North Carolina, with her husband and son at the time of her disappearance on June 1, 2009.

According to the Charley Project website, “She called her cousin in Garner, North Carolina, that day and said she was driving over with her son to visit. Garner is 250 miles east of Asheville. Terry never arrived, and her family hasn’t heard from her since.”

“Terry’s husband, Stefan T. Tersak, said Terry left with a woman named ‘Jen’ the day after she spoke to her cousin. Stefan was supposed to pick her up on June 20, but the address she gave him turned out to be nonexistent.”

Typically, I add that the person has not been seen since, but it did state on the Charley Project website that “In October 2009, Stefan claims, Terry stopped by the apartment he’d moved into after her disappearance. They had a brief conversation, and she told him she’d been staying in Boone, North Carolina. Then she left, and he never saw her or had any contact with her again.”

But NamUs and the Charley Project have her last known contact date as June 1, 2009.

Someone knows what happened to Terry Lynn Tersak.

If you have information regarding this case, please contact the Asheville Police Department at (828) 259-5945

Tersak is described as being 5’1, weighing 100 pounds, with brown hair.
