Deborah Darlene Hunter was last seen on July 2, 2012, in downtown Charleston, West Virginia. Originally from Boone County, Deborah had recently returned to West Virginia from Florida to be closer to her family and her grandchild. During that time, she was staying at a local shelter while trying to get back on her feet.
One summer day, Deborah left the shelter and never came back. When staff realized she was missing, they reached out to her family, and she was officially reported missing shortly after. There were some unconfirmed reports of her possibly being seen in Madison, West Virginia, around the same time, but nothing was ever verified. Since her disappearance, there has been no digital activity or signs of her, raising even more concerns as the years have passed.
Her case remains open, and her family and investigators continue to hope that someone out there may hold a missing piece of the puzzle.
