As more information is uncovered, Elsie’s family says their fears are growing that domestic violence led to her disappearance.

Coleman said the last time she spoke to Elsie, she expressed she was scared for her life.

“The last conversation we had with her she, of course, told us she was in fear for her life, you could hear the desperation so much so in her voice, that my husband said do you need me to come now I will come now,” said Coleman.

“This isn’t like a TV show. It takes time for them to get results back from any evidence they may have gathered,” Coleman said.

Her family has stood firm in their belief that Elsie was in an abusive relationship before her disappearance. And now, her sister Victoria Seal says they’ve made it a mission to advocate for victims.

“On that day, Elsie stood up for herself. And we all know here in domestic violence cases, normally the end is when you try to leave, that’s when something bad happens. There were signs leading up to what happened to her from April of 2023 to June of 2023, I was informed that her life was pure hell,” Seal said.

A year has passed, which makes investigating much more difficult.

"They are battling the deprivation of any evidence that was there because you know it’s been over a year," Tracey Coleman, Elsie’s foster sister, said.

This week the Amherst County Sheriff’s office has held multiple searches. They said they collected evidence that they believed could help.
