AUSTIN, Texas (FOX 7 Austin) - The Texas Department of Public Safety is asking for the public's help in solving the 1993 disappearance of Hockley County resident Stephane Meeks Henderson.
An increased reward of up to $6000 is being offered for information that leads to the arrest of those responsible if the tip is received before the next featured cold case is announced as part of the Texas Ranger Unsolved Crimes Investigation Program.
According to DPS, Stephane was 21 years old when she disappeared from her Levelland, Texas home on Nov. 27, 1993. She had reportedly called her grandmother to come pick her up, but was gone by the time her grandmother arrived.

The Texas Rangers are asking the public for any information that help solve this crime.
