Brother begs for answers in sister’s disappearance 30 years ago: ‘I’m still holding on’

CAROLINE COUNTY, Va. -- It's been thirty years since a Caroline County woman disappeared -- and never made it back home. Three decades later -- her family is still begging anyone who may know something about Emmaline Gray's disappearance -- to come forward.

Michael Gray says he vividly remembers when his sister disappeared in 1991.

Emmaline left for her shift as a manager at the Bowling Green Pizza Hut. When she reutrned to her File, Virginia home, that's when her brother saw her pack a bag.

Michael says he saw her at the home he shared with her and two of her children. He recalled what she was doing just before she left. One day she came home and packed a bag, said she would be back. Never saw her again. I know who she left with. They know who she left with,” said Michael.

Michael says she left in a black Camaro. “I’ll never forget it. Until the day I die,” he added.

“All of that is part of the investigation and that’s what led us to enter her as a missing person. So, we continue to look for her,” said Major Scott Moser.

Moser has worked the case from the beginning. He says he is unable to divulge specific information as to not compromise the case; he did say they have followed several leads; but it remains a cold case.

Moser says as of right now there are no suspects and there have not been any arrests.

s for a theory of Emmaline simply walking away from her family and choosing to disappear forever, Moser doesn’t buy it.

“I find it highly unlikely being the type of person that she was. And how devoted she was to her kids. I find it unlikely that she would just disappear off of the grid,” said Moser.

“We love our sister. The kids love their mother. We want some closure to this. It’s been a long time and I’m still holding on in God’s unchanging hands,” said Michael.

Though recounting his sister’s story still moves him to tears, Gray says he’ll never stop searching, hoping, and asking for help until his family finds Emmaline or finds out the truth behind her disappearance.

“I hope someone will come forward knowing that Emmaline is still out there. Let us know she’s alive,” he pleaded.

“Any info is important to us. It doesn’t matter how small. It’s part of a bigger puzzle that we need to put it together as an investigative agency,” Moser added.

Major Moser said they hope this story will stir up a memory from someone in the community who may have information about the case. He urges anyone with information about Emmaline Gray's disappearance to contact the Caroline County Sheriff's Tip Line at 804-633-1133.

Emmaline Gray – The Charley Project
 
From the Details of Disappearance on the Charley Project:

Gray disappeared from Bowling Green, Virginia on March 5, 1991...

Her brother stated when she returned home from work that day, he saw her pack a bag. She left with someone in a black Camaro, saying she would be back, and never returned. Her brother stated he knows who she left with, but the identity of that person has not been publicly disclosed.

According to her family, Gray was known to be alive in February 1992, almost a year after her initial disappearance. Gray's brother doesn't believe she would have chosen to simply walk away and disappear forever, however; he stated she was devoted to her family and her children. Her case remains unsolved.


BBM.

It seems like there's disagreement within the family themselves. Or do they all agree that she was alive a year after her disappearance, but that only her brother disagrees and says it's involuntary? Also, how do they family know she was alive a year after?

And according to this article, the brother has the same story as of October 2019:
“One day she came home and packed a bag, said she would be back. Never saw her again. I know who she left with. They know who she left with,” said Michael.

Michael says she left in a black Camaro.

“I’ll never forget it. Until the day I die,” he added.


It seems that Scott Moser, who "has worked the case from the beginning," agrees with the brother, though: “I find it highly unlikely being the type of person that she was. And how devoted she was to her kids. I find it unlikely that she would just disappear off of the grid,” said Moser.
 
Any similarity? Reason I ask is because on the Doe's sketch they have drawn one ear lobe larger than the other, in reference to Emmaline having a cyst on an ear. Also does anyone know why some family say she was alive in 1992?

She was apparently just identified as a Jane Doe found in DC in 1991

"Gray disappeared from Bowling Green, Virginia on March 5, 1991. On March 25, her remains were found in a garage on Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue in Washington DC. The cause of death could not be determined but foul play was not suspected. Green was not identified until September 2024."

What in the world??
