VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Human remains were found Friday in Virginia Beach while police were investigating the disappearance of Vicky Cartwright, a woman who went missing in 2023.

Police say the remains were found in the 1000 block of Eaglewood Drive. That's near the intersection of Oceana Boulevard and General Booth Boulevard.

A News 3 crew at the scene observed police tape around a home between two churches on Eaglewood Drive, shown below. The remains have not been identified yet, police say. Until then, there are two parallel investigations underway.

The last known date that Cartwright made contact with someone is Sept. 7, 2023, according to online database NamUs. She was 63 at the time she went missing.

Her property was searched numerous times, NamUs says. While the property itself was searched numerous times, Jackie Savage, public information officer for the Virginia Beach Police Department, said the room in which the remains were found was first searched Friday [January 17, 2025].

"No, they have not searched there before," Savage told News 3's Colter Anstaett. They (detectives) came to search the home in its entirety, and during that search they found the human remains."

The future of the property will be determined once the remains are identified, according to Savage.

hoping this discovery can lead to closure for family and friends

I find this truly baffling. The woman has been missing since 2023. Her home and property were searched extensively

but not THIS room? WTH not? What they are saying makes no sense. They either already searched the home thoroughly or they did not.

They searched the property numerous times, but not inside the house/this particular room??

I checked property data and there is a crawl space and no basement?
It's 1350 Sq ft. Hard to see how they missed her during the other searches unless someone hid her in the crawl space or an attic area.

it's described as a "room". that is what gets me. Like in the Karin Ottenberg case (still can't figure that one out) they searched the home and then figured out she'd been there all along. Never explained where they found her body, just that it was someplace that wasn't "obvious". Now this poor lady here who's been missing since 2023 is found in a room nobody searched before? Mind boggling

it seems kind of outrageous to bother searching the house and then not search the whole thing. my guesses; previously locked door? attic or crawl space?

 

[Sillybilly]

I'm wondering if it might have been a 'hidden' room (like behind a bookcase or fake fireplace, or underground bunker?).

One more possibility came to mind... hoarders home?

From the information in articles, the house between two Churches on Eaglewood dr is n. 1048:

36°47'34.4"N 75°59'51.7"W

maps.app.goo.gl

It looks pretty neat, at least from the outside. There are photos over the years, always clean.

The last photo taken by a Google car for street view dates back to May 2023, just 3 months before Vicky went missing.

Poor woman, she had never left her house (1,350 sqft of floor space, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, crawl foundation, built 1960)

Access to this page has been denied.

This type of foundation primarily creates a protective buffer between the ground and the wooden structure of the home but also allows easy access to repair plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems. Sometimes homeowners use crawl spaces for storage. Crawl spaces can have doors.

IMO, for some reason (checking sth , electrical, for pest control, etc) she may have been in the crawl space. LE searched the small house but not the space underneath it.
JMO and a possibility that could explain why they unfortunately missed her in the first place.

I would doubt she was in the crawl space. As a Virginia Beach homeowner, I can tell you that crawl spaces are literally that. Spaces between the home and the ground that people have to shimmy through on their bellies. They are dirty and dusty and I’m sure there are creatures down there.
We also don’t have basements in this area because of the water levels. I would very highly doubt she got herself in to the crawl space. I don’t know why anyone would ever want to go down there. MOO

Thank you for clarifying, then I really cannot understand where she could have been to be invisible at the first search

 

[truthfinder2019]

The remains have not het been identified, correct? What if it is not her, but someone else having been there in the unoccupied house, after the first search?
Probably far fetched..

 

[asmi106082]

It’s possible she had an attic or at least a larger area above the top floor. Ours is small and the beams are exposed but I would think some people might lay a floor or something up there to try to utilize it as storage? Just an idea based on my experience living here. MOO
