The Sheriff's Office FB. A few comments, but nothing you wouldn't expect. I think the most interesting thing about this case is that nobody reported her missing for almost two weeks. Sad, sad, sad all the way around. Hopefully she will be found and get the help she obviously (obviously to me, IMO) needs.

Finally! Some new info.... BOLO for a man named Cecil Scott Byrd, driving a black Chevy Silverado. A person of interest in this case.

There's another woman who went missing roughly the same time, in a close by county. She has a thread here: http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?293682-NC-Lisa-Ann-Robbins-49-Bakersfield-3-Oct-2015
It's Bakersville, NC, by the way, not Bakersfield. I have seen nothing where the two disappearances are related at this point, but I've got a weird feeling.

Looks like Cecil has a bit of a criminal record. http://webapps6.doc.state.nc.us/opi/viewoffender.do?method=view&offenderID=0487789&searchLastName=byrd&searchFirstName=cecil&listurl=pagelistoffendersearchresults&listpage=1

Oh wow, Mitchell County is listed as "current location." This is where Lisa Ann Robbins went missing... goose bumps for me.

I'm curious, why do you think there could be a connection? I can't find much on Lisa, but don't see anything that would make me see a connection. In Lisa's case, I suspect a car accident and she just hasn't been found yet.

Gut feeling, due to both victims having a particular social media friend in common. I don't know how much I can speculate on here without violating some TOS, but it appears this sm friend used to be related to Byrd. That's not a lot to go on, but I just found where Byrd lived on Bad Creek Road in Bakersville, which is where Lisa went missing from. That's something they need to look into for sure when they find him.

Wow! I was right! WLOS reported that Lisa is Byrd's girlfriend. Byrd was last seen in a restaurant with Sarah Denise. Now they're all missing.

Did you guys see in the link that Lisa Ann Robbins is Byrd's girlfriend? And he was last seen having dinner with Sarah Riddle.

So they are connected.

Sorry Blkmtngirl....we must have been posting at the same time.

OMG! Great sleuthing BlkMtnGirl!

BlkMtnGirl · Nov 4, 2015

WLOS just announced on the noon news that Byrd's truck has been found. No other information, and it's not on their website yet.

BlkMtnGirl · Nov 4, 2015

Body found near the Bakersville area. They call it an active crime scene, but don't give any more details. May or may not be related to the case, but I think it is.

Live scanner feeds at the link, but I really need to get back to work instead of listening.

BlkMtnGirl · Nov 4, 2015

Mainstream confirmation of finding a body. Not believed to be Byrd.

(modsnip) I guess we'll hear all about it on the news at 5pm. Sad, because I was hoping for both of the women to be found alive.

ClaireNC · Nov 4, 2015

Justin Miller is also missing from that area. His sister is posting on the Mitchell County scanner feed. Here is his WS thread. http://www.websleuths.com/forums/sh...ustin-Miller-30-Mitchell-County-28-March-2015

My internet is acting crazy - very slow for some reason. They announced at 5 on WLOS that they had arrested Byrd, but toward the end of the story, the reporter said she was getting new info that he wasn't being arrested for the women's disappearance. She quickly said there would be more later.
