In the state of West Virginia, there are 142 open missing people cases. I believe that is 142

00:00:58,720 → 00:01:03,760

too many. These are just some of the people missing from the Mountain State.

00:01:03,760 → 00:01:13,840

Juanita Reedy was last seen on November 9, 1979 on Valley Drive in Beckley, West Virginia. She was

wearing black slacks, a beige shirt, and either a maroon leather jacket or a blue and white ski

00:01:21,840 → 00:01:28,320

jacket. Nine days after her disappearance, her car was found stripped and burned in Pipestone,

00:01:28,320 → 00:01:35,840

West Virginia. Juanita has a mole below her right eyebrow and a scar on her chin. If you or anyone

00:01:35,840 → 00:01:42,960

00:01:54,480 → 00:02:01,600

in August or September of 1982. Alfred may go by the name Freddie. He has a scar on his stomach

00:02:01,600 → 00:02:07,600

from a burn and scars on his legs and hips from skin grafts. If you have any information on the

00:03:40,240 → 00:03:48,000

of 1975, but he never showed and has not been seen or heard from since. David walked with a limp

00:04:21,360 → 00:04:28,480

Kathleen Virginia Farmer Gill, better known as Kathy Jo Hanger, where Kathy Lemon was last seen

00:05:13,120 → 00:05:21,200

on March 20, 1984, in Parkersburg, West Virginia. She got into a vehicle with three men and was

00:05:21,200 → 00:05:27,840

never seen again. Two of the men admitted to the rape and murder of Kathleen. The third, who I'm

00:05:27,840 → 00:05:33,680

going to call Jimmy, never admitted to it, but he served time for other serious crimes.

00:05:35,040 → 00:05:40,480

Jimmy is a person of interest in her case. The two men claim that they dumped Kathleen's body

00:05:40,480 → 00:05:47,520

over Memorial Bridge. It has never been recovered. Kathleen had a tattoo on her upper left arm and

00:05:47,520 → 00:05:55,360

a scar on her chest. If you have any information on the case of Kathleen Virginia Farmer Gill,

00:05:55,360 → 00:06:02,960

contact the Wood County Sheriff's Office at 304-834-3909.

00:06:05,040 → 00:06:11,440

The final missing person's case that I have for you is Susan Fay Roup. Susan Fay Roup was last

00:06:11,440 → 00:06:19,120

seen on February 12, 1979, in Golly, West Virginia, by her neighbor. The neighbor claimed they saw a

00:06:19,120 → 00:06:26,400

dark colored truck or maybe even a van as Sue's house. And Sue was seen getting into the vehicle.

00:06:26,400 → 00:06:32,640

She could have even been forced into the vehicle. Susan was recently divorced and had a new love

00:06:32,640 → 00:06:40,000

interest in her life. Val play is suspected in her case. In fact, when a set of remains was found,

00:06:40,000 → 00:06:46,160

on Bolt Mellon in 2017, officers actually thought that maybe it could be Sue Fay Roup,

00:06:46,160 → 00:06:51,680

but it was Margie Dodd, which we covered her case in season two of Mountain State Mysteries.

00:06:51,680 → 00:07:03,360

If you have any information on the whereabouts of Susan Fay Roup, contact Crime Stoppers at 304-255-7867,

00:07:03,360 → 00:07:15,040

00:07:15,040 → 00:07:20,160

of these cases. We are diving deeper into them to bring you even more information.
