OH OH - Melissa Blevins, 30, Portsmouth, 7 Feb 2010

I did a search and this missing person is listed in Namus and also the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, but she does not have a thread on Websleuths. So I’m creating a thread for this missing person on Websleuths.

Glad to see this!

An article in the Columbus Dispatch announced that the task force investigating the disappearances and deaths of missing women in southern Ohio has created an email account for folks to send email tips.

Investigators create email tipline in search for missing women

A task force investigating a string of potentially-linked missing-persons cases and deaths in southern Ohio has added another way for people to submit tips: an email account.

The Ross County sheriff’s office said today that tipsters can now send information to detectives via a findme@rosssheriff.com email address.

A hotline of 740-774-FIND(3463) had already been established.

Bumping for the anniversary (though Charley Project has a different date). It’s been 8 years, and if she had an 8 year old daughter, that child would now be 16. Hopefully, Melissa is alive and well and will come home to her daughter soon.

Some interesting information on her through a Topix thread. Her married name was Newlan, her husband was posting as well as other people. It’s an easy google. Seems kind of dramatic though. Her daughter and mother also posted.

Bumping for Melissa, remains missing 11 years.
