I know Alice slightly. She lives in our community. We are very worried for her because she left her home last Thursday night (or very early Friday morning) and as far as we know, she has not been found. <modsnip> All we can do is pray for her safety and well-being.

I feel like they must have already, but I hope LE has let authorities in Virginia know about Alice since Pittsboro --> Chapel Hill --> Roxboro would indicate she might have left NC and entered VA.

 

[Stunned]

Her family must be frantic!

She was cognizant enough I’m assuming, to pump gas but holy smokes, at 1:30am? Are the roads in that area ok after the hurricane? Does her car have any GPS feature?

 

[Stunned]

The roads should have been fine as long as she didn't drive west a couple of hours towards Asheville.

The roads in central NC are fine. I don't think she has GPS in the car. Praying she is found soon.

 

[swanniee11]

She did stop for gas, that's a good sign she knew to do that, but also has confusion and a possible eye infection. Praying!

 

[HappyJoy777]

So has she been seen in Virginia? If so, does she have a past tie to Virginia - like maybe she knows where she's going and didn't feel like she needed her phone.

 

[mlhenn]

Where did she stop to get gas? I'm new here and not sure where to go to get all the info regarding this case.

That info can be found on this particular link

As of today, she still hasn't been found. I'm surprised that there hasn't been a Silver Alert -- or at least I have not heard that there is one. I hope that she's found safe and I hope it is soon!

This is the most recent information I've seen. The video was filmed outside the church she attended and includes an interview with her daughter, who talks about Alice's disappearance.

The roads are ok, but very dark. Most people from our area don’t drive at night because of the lack of street lights and abundance of deer.

 

[Chimera]

I don't want to say she shouldn't have been driving, as there are people older than that are cleared to drive, but ....
Hope Alice is ok.
The main fear for her loved ones might be that she could've driven off the road in the dark and is stuck somewhere ??

Did I hear this correct that it's being reported she is without her phone or car? Is this an error?

I'm pretty sure she's in her car, but left her phone.

 

[Chimera]

Maybe left of her own volition ?
A bit unusual but not impossible.
I'm leaning more towards accident than foul play, at this time.
Omo.
