TENTANG EPISODE INI
Back in 2001, Michelle Hundley Smith was a 38 year old married mother of 3 living in Eden, NC. She had a 19 year old daughter, a 14 year old daughter and a 7 year old son. ON December 9th 2001, she left her home to go Christmas shopping for the kids. She was allegedly headed to a nearby Wal-Mart. She left around 8:30pm and headed to the shopping area in Martinsville, VA which was about 17 miles away from the home. She took her green 1995 Pontiac TransSport Van and went alone. She never made it home that night. 22 days later, she had not returned. She was reported missing on December 31st 2001.
Oddly enough, there was another woman who vanished a few months prior to Michelle in the same area. 33 year old Angela Whalen Hudson vanished in Ruffin, NC about 20 minutes from Eden. Angela was last seen on September 20th 2001 by her husband Robert Hudson at her home. Angela had filed for divorce shortly before this and the day she vanished she was meant to have the 2nd meeting with her divorce attorney. 24 years after she vanished, no one knew what happened to her, just like Michelle.
Then on February 19th 2026, 24 years after Michelle vanished, it would then be revealed by the Rockingham Co SO that they had come in contact with the missing Michelle Hundley Smith herself. She was alive and well. However, her current whereabouts will remain undisclosed per her request and she asked her family not to contact her.
