Oh, one from around here recently came back after two years “missing.” She’d run off with a boyfriend.
That may be the case here. Not sure. Since the article says she’s not been in touch with anyone that is disturbing IMO. :( Hope she walks back into the door of her family home soon.
Roanoke is about an hour drive for me...but being S.W. Virginia is so remote in places...she could be in a town nearby and no one would recognize her at all! She could walk around the streets just like any local.
