In the state of West Virginia, there are 142 open missing people cases. I believe that is 142
too many. These are just some of the people missing from the Mountain State.
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
jacket. Nine days after her disappearance, her car was found stripped and burned in Pipestone,
West Virginia. Juanita has a mole below her right eyebrow and a scar on her chin. If you or anyone
you know has any information on the whereabouts of Juanita Reedy, contact the Beckley Police Department
at 304-256-1720. Alfred Bradley Gibbons from Chapmanville, West Virginia was last seen sometime
in August or September of 1982. Alfred may go by the name Freddie. He has a scar on his stomach
from a burn and scars on his legs and hips from skin grafts. If you have any information on the
whereabouts of Alfred Bradley Gibbons, contact the West Virginia State Police at 304-746-2100.

David Harry Blini was last seen sometime around the summer of 1975. He was due in court in September
of 1975, but he never showed and has not been seen or heard from since. David walked with a limp
and he always wore dress clothes. If you have any information on the whereabouts of David Harry
Blini, contact the Charleston Police Department at 304-348-6400. James L. Wood Brady was last seen
in Logan, West Virginia on September 1, 1965. He boarded a trailways bus headed to a sister's
home in South Carolina. He has never been seen again. James is a military veteran,
and sadly, there's little information on him. If you have any information on the whereabouts of

Kathleen Virginia Farmer Gill, better known as Kathy Jo Hanger, where Kathy Lemon was last seen
on March 20, 1984, in Parkersburg, West Virginia. She got into a vehicle with three men and was
never seen again. Two of the men admitted to the rape and murder of Kathleen. The third, who I'm
going to call Jimmy, never admitted to it, but he served time for other serious crimes.
Jimmy is a person of interest in her case. The two men claim that they dumped Kathleen's body
over Memorial Bridge. It has never been recovered. Kathleen had a tattoo on her upper left arm and
a scar on her chest. If you have any information on the case of Kathleen Virginia Farmer Gill,
contact the Wood County Sheriff's Office at 304-834-3909.
The final missing person's case that I have for you is Susan Fay Roup. Susan Fay Roup was last
seen on February 12, 1979, in Golly, West Virginia, by her neighbor. The neighbor claimed they saw a
dark colored truck or maybe even a van as Sue's house. And Sue was seen getting into the vehicle.
She could have even been forced into the vehicle. Susan was recently divorced and had a new love
interest in her life. Val play is suspected in her case. In fact, when a set of remains was found,
on Bolt Mellon in 2017, officers actually thought that maybe it could be Sue Fay Roup,
but it was Margie Dodd, which we covered her case in season two of Mountain State Mysteries.
If you have any information on the whereabouts of Susan Fay Roup, contact Crime Stoppers at 304-255-7867,
or the West Virginia State Police at 304-746-2100. This isn't the last time we will be covering any
of these cases. We are diving deeper into them to bring you even more information.
