Starina “Star” Woods, 34, was last seen and known to be alive on or about March 10, 2016, in Charleston, officers say. They say her disappearance is considered suspicious.

"We believe there are people who may have information that they aren't even aware is important," said Lieutenant Steve Cooper. "We're just asking them to see this and to know now that we are ready to publicly say that we consider this to be a very suspicious missing person's case."

Who was the last person to see her alive and where was she? What was she seen wearing and who reported her missing?
This is pretty strange. Did a little trolling, doesn't seem to be much concern or panic from family members for her being missing for coming up on 6 months.

Court records just filed on Wednesday reveal more about the investigation of a woman missing from Charleston since March.

Charleston police would not comment on the record about whether or not they believe Starina Woods was murdered by her husband, Arthur "Owen" Woods, but search warrants filed say otherwise.

According to court documents, Woods' disappearance is being investigated as a homicide. "The current husband, Arthur O. Woods is considered the investigating target and suspect of the homicide," Detective Canden Sharp wrote in an affidavit.

Police are investigating a Charleston woman’s disappearance earlier this year as a homicide, and have named her husband the suspect in the case.
Although Starina Woods had been missing for several weeks, her husband, Arthur Owen Woods, never reported her disappearance to police and never tried to find her, according to search warrants in the case. Once they began investigating, police found that Starina Woods had complained about an abusive relationship with her husband, and discovered evidence of “a significant amount of blood” spilled at the couple’s home.

They had search parties out November 12th near Mt. Nebo, WV.
 

Husband charged with fraud: http://wvmetronews.com/2018/01/05/man-whose-wife-is-missing-charged-with-fraud/

It’s alleged Owen Woods, 39, of Charleston, used his missing wife’s debt card after she went missing and spent down the account until a bank froze the account.

Woods denied the charges when speaking with reporters before his arraignment.

“It was a debit card. She’s the only one that had an account. All my money went to her account,” Woods said.

Search warrants issued previously in connection with the disappearance of Starina Woods have said Owen Woods never reported his wife missing or tried to contact her after she disappeared. Police have also said they found blood stains at the couple’s home and what appeared to be attempts to clean up blood.

This case makes me so sad :( Star is a beautiful person, inside and out. Her kids (late teens/young adult age, it looks like) are on facebook, pleading for their mom to come home :( Heartbreaking.
 
How sad. They basically have proof that he did something to her, but no body or confession. Poor lady.
