I have so many questions. I can understand not being close to family but what about work, friends, neighbors? Wonder what her living situation was like. Rent, mortgage payments going unpaid. Wonder if she has a vehicle.

You've asked essentially the same questions I would have!
Just poof! and she is gone. Foul play? Did she meet someone and is happy, or did she meet someone and was not treated well or worse?
Why the delay in her family reporting her missing?
Could she possibly still be in Lincolnton? If she is still alive, I would doubt that she would still be there? Did she just want to make a new start in a different town or state?
Too many questions...
Hoping she is happy & doing well.

I checked recent court records to see if she'd shown up anywhere for a traffic infraction as well as any records pertaining to anyone she might be with (not named as POI so not linking). There's nothing in the system, ever, for North Carolina under any names. Giving her a bump so she's not forgotten.

Her prints are probably on file.

Zachary “Zach” William Ramey, the man she was last seen with has some drug charges and is listed as a felon.
