Couldn't find much on Valerie. I found one post the Newton County Sheriffs office put up in April of 2017

also found this article about a man dying in a trailer fire in Jan 2016 prior to Valerie going missing. Valerie and the man were fighting that evening before the suspicious fire.
Fatal fire is suspicious
GRANBY — A Granby area man is dead after an early Monday morning fire as authorities investigate whether the man set the fire.
Robert Edward Johnson, 58, was found inside the trailer, according to Chris Jennings, chief deputy of the Newton County Sheriff’s Department.
“At this time, it is suspicious. We don’t have a cause for the fire,” Jennings said.
An autopsy, which Jennings hopes will reveal information, is scheduled for today.
The travel trailer and small addition were destroyed in the blaze, which he said also destroyed evidence.
“That’s the problem. It was such a total fire that, as of this moment, we have not found a cause yet,” he said.
Deputies responded at about 2 a.m. to the structure fire call to 10702 Providence Lane. The first one on scene reported being flagged down by a hysterical female, who stated that Johnson was still in the burning residence and told him Johnson threatened to blow up himself.
Johnson and Valerie Mae Jones, 31, had been fighting all evening, according to statements that she gave and statements by a neighbor, who reported the pair had come to their residence several times during the night asking them to referee.
“We talked with a witness who said they had been arguing with each other quite a bit,” Jennings confirmed. “There’s a possibility he set the fire himself and suffered from it, and the possibility that somebody else (did). We just don’t know yet, it’s just too early in the investigation.“
Jones, who admitted she was doing methamphetamine, was arrested on Granby Police Department warrants.
State Fire Marshal Randy Sweet, who was called in to investigate, found Johnson’s body in a back bedroom.
Reports indicated that neighbors stated Johnson wanted Jones out of the home by today. She was beating on their door at about 1:30 a.m. claiming that Johnson beat her up and was trying to blow them up. When Jones left, the neighbor said he noticed Johnson’s trailer fully involved in flames and called 911.
