From the Charley Project:
Wells was last seen leaving her home in the 19700 block of Appleton in Detroit, Michigan at 9:30 p.m. on August 6, 2012. She was driving her four-door Pontiac Grand Prix at the time; it's painted white with black bumpers. Her mother spoke to her on the phone later that night. Wells never returned home and has never been heard from again. Three days later, her Pontiac was found abandoned on Coventry between Emery and Lantz, just a few blocks from her residence. There were a few clothing items inside it, but no sign of Wells.
Wells left behind two children. She lived with Rickey Tennant, her boyfriend of fifteen years, at the time of her disappearance. In a media interview, Tennant stated she "gives me a headache" and implied he was glad she was gone, but he also stated they loved each other very much. He said that prior to going missing, Wells had been acting strangely and told him she was going to pay him back. Police questioned Tennant after her disappearance, but found no evidence to implicate him, and he isn't considered a suspect.
Wells is the oldest of six children. She graduated from nursing school and worked in the home health care field at the time of her disappearance. Although there's no evidence of a crime in Wells's case, her family is baffled by her disappearance. Her case remains unsolved.

Thoughts? I'm placing Tamala's case in the Missing on TV section because her disappearance was profiled on the October 3rd, 2016 episode of the syndicated crime show "Crime Watch Daily." Unlike the Charley Project description, the segment is a little more critical of Ricky Tennant, who is said to have failed two lie detector tests. Crime Watch Daily tacked down Tennant at his house who unlike most people the show tries to interview actually talked to to them and emphatically denied having anything to do with Tamala Wells' disappearance.
