Alissa Turney lived in Paradise Valley, Arizona. At the time of her disappearance, she lived with her stepfather Michael Turney and half-sister Sarah Turney. She worked at the fast food restaurant Jack in the Box, and had a boyfriend.

May 17, 2001 was the last day of Alissa's junior year at Paradise Valley High School. According to her stepfather, he dropped her off in the morning as usual, then picked her up around lunchtime. Allegedly, they had an argument and she stormed off. Later, he and Sarah found a note in her bedroom, allegedly written by her, claiming that she was running away to California. However, she had left her cell phone and other personal items behind. That night, Alissa had had plans to go to a party, but did not attend.
