Sister hopes billboard effort locates missing Edenton woman
[...]“We are wanting to put up billboards because my sister suffers from a medical condition which requires medication and there is a chance she may not even know who she is or where she is from at this point,” Joyner says at the page. “We are hoping maybe she or someone else that she might be with would recognize her from the billboards and bring her home.”

Anderson was last seen late the night of Tuesday, April 25, in Camden County. Earlier that same day, Anderson was seen on cameras leaving the property of Chowan Gardens apartments in the 200 block of Luke Street in Edenton. The Edenton Police Department first reported Anderson missing in a post on Facebook.
Four days later on Saturday, April 29, Anderson’s 2018 Ford Escape was discovered abandoned off Broad Creek Road near Texas Road in southern Camden County.
Camden Sheriff Kevin Jones, whose office led an extensive search for Anderson, has previously said Anderson stopped her vehicle off Broad Creek Road and knocked on the door of a residence between 9:30 p.m. and 11 p.m., April 25. She told the resident that “she was looking for somebody,” Jones said.
When the residents of the Broad Creek Road home were unable to help her, Anderson walked away in the direction of Texas Road, Jones said. That was the last time she was seen, the sheriff said.
Joyner said she believes when her sister left Chowan Gardens she did so intending to travel to Virginia.

Jones launched an extensive search after Anderson’s abandoned vehicle was discovered. The search zone included an area along the Pasquotank River shoreline Jones described as “swampy” and “hard to navigate.”
Deputies used drones, ATVs and a K9 trained to locate missing persons to conduct their search. The K9 was unable to pick up a scent. A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter crew using thermal imaging cameras also searched the area but were unable to detect “any objects in the wooded swamp area that resembled a human form,” Jones said.
