I live in SE Virginia. About 20 years ago, a local guy and gal, home from college for the summer, were out on a date; the car they were in that night was found on the Colonial Parkway near Williamsburg and the James River in an area known for "parking," yet they were gone. No sign/no trace whatsoever of the two. Don't recall exactly what evidence was found in/near the car, however, their scent was traced from the car to the river bank. They disappeared completely...to this day, without a trace. Talk about heartbreaking/tragic for their parents. Unless it has happened to us, none of us can ever truly understand or relate to what parents must go through in circumstances like this. Think of all the parents of those young women that Ted Bundy murdered. Think of Sharon Rocha, now Beth H-T. I cannot imagine the horror, the excruciating hurt and pain they must endure. My heart aches for her and I fear that her daughter, being dead, is gone for good.
I remember that Virginia disappearance. It amazed me how people just disappear.
My sister in law had a cousin disappear for 11 years. He was kind of a bad kid. Then some people in Mississippi razed a house or part of it,,he was in the chimney for all those years. Probably robbing the place. I hate to admit it but I laughed.
