Police said Michele Hundley Smith, who was 38 at the time she went missing, left her home to go Christmas shopping on Dec. 9, 2001 at a K-Mart and never returned.
On Friday, officials said that Michele Hundley Smith had been found in an undisclosed part of North Carolina, 24 years after she left her home in Eden, N.C., in 2001 and never returned.
“At her request, her current whereabouts will remain undisclosed,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement. “Her family has been notified that she has been located and informed of this request as well.”
Missing because she fled domestic abuse. All respect to her. Nice to see a happy ending to a missing person case.
