There sure isn’t a lot of info—nothing even about the car she must have been driving, or if there were any signs that she made it back to Annandale.

I believe this is her FB https://www.facebook.com/debbie.mcconnell.581?lst=1189913669:100001902586070:1534108916

That is about 150 miles of woods, hills and nothing nice if you have to search for someone lost there! Oh, I hope they find Debbie!

There's very little to go on here. LE did not provide her age, height, or what kind of car she had (or alternative means of travel if she didn't). Her social media doesn't reveal much either, no FB friends (unless there's some way to make that a private setting) no photos of anyone but herself and no description of employment.

Sadly, I believe this may be her: Debbie Lynn McConnell Obituary - Glen Burnie, MD | ObitTree™

The mom’s first name and Staunton, VA location, growing up in PA, sister’s death—several details in the obit match up to the details in this article I found about her. https://www.google.com/amp/s/kensingtonblues.com/2018/01/14/follow-up-debbie-mcconnell/amp/

ETA: I found her mom’s FB page (last name the same as the one in the article, not the obit), which has photos of Debbie, and an announcement that she indeed has passed away.

Thank you, tlneedham, for looking further into her life. I used to work in the area described in the article, and it is a harsh reminder of what becomes of many people's lives.
