A North Carolina mother of three who vanished over two decades ago was found alive and living a new life — leaving her family reeling with questions over her whereabouts, according to authorities and reports.
Michele Lyn Hundley Smith, then 38, disappeared in December 2001 after leaving her home in Eden to do Christmas shopping at a Kmart in Virginia, according to the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office.
Smith’s “troubling” disappearance prompted multiple agencies across North Carolina and Virginia, including the FBI, to search for the mother of three for “countless” hours and pursue multiple investigative leads, cops said.
A missing person flyer distributed at the time of her disappearance noted she should be considered “endangered” and “would not leave her kids by choice.”

Kmart takes another victim.
But it's probably somebody else's fault ...
“Kmart takes another victim.”
Why do you think she went into Kmart?

I had a distant cousin or uncle of some kind who disappeared and left a wife and kids when I was a toddler. His family found him decades later. He was dealing Blackjack in a casino.
There are some interesting things from other stories. Her husband waited 22 days before she was reported missing. On the daughter’s facebook page there is a post from a few years ago saying they did not receive a great deal of help from law enforcement.
Ahhh, it’s the old well-known “ran out to get a pack of cigarettes and never came back”.
Can’t be Hillary.
Try as we might, she never seems to go away.
There was a Blue Light Special...
There is a Walmart in Eden off 220. That was a lousy excuse.
I wonder if she was in Leaksville, Spray or Draper.
Did he at least give his kids a free hand?
The only surprise in this story is law enforcement didn’t charge the husband with murder, a jury convicts on non-existence evidence, he’s been rotting in prison this whole time, and the asshole prosecutor resists all efforts to free him for a non-murder.
I would only leave my family for craps or better.
A North Carolina mother of three who aborted her child the hard way.
sad
I dated a girl in college who did something similar.
We were supposed to study together and she didn’t show. I went to her dorm room and her roommate said she thought she was with me. Campus police were no help...after a cursory search of the campus, they were done.
I was super worried. I called her parents. They hadn’t heard from her. Over the next few days I went to her classes hoping to run into her, but she didn’t show. After a couple of days her parents went into overdrive freaked out worried mode. They told the police they thought I had done something. Fortunately there was video evidence and witnesses of me waiting for her at the library, and her roommate said she left by herself.
Fast forward two years. Pamela is found! She is living with a black dude in government housing, with a baby girl and another on the way.
It seems that she took a bus and struck up a conversation with the driver. He somehow convinced her to leave college (and me) and start a new life as his live in baby mama. Pamela was from serious money, her dad was the president of a bank in Alabama, she went to private schools, dressed really well...it was almost like she had some kind of mental breakdown and chucked it all for this dude.
Good riddance, sounds like. You got the better of the deal.
You dodged a bombshell. Good for you on two counts.
From the excerpt.
She belongs in prison.
