April Reid, 38, of Lenoir, has been missing for two years.
Sgt. Stella January, who took over the case in July, said she longs to provide answers to Reid’s family.
38-year-old Lenoir resident April Michelle Reid was last seen in February 2021. A $1,000 reward is being offered for information leading to her location
“There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think of April,” January said as she held up a file that’s 6 inches thick. January keeps the file in her desk. She said she looks through it at least once a week.
January said there is little evidence in Reid’s disappearance. “It’s been two years since April went missing,” January said. “Two years of nothing.”
Reid’s information, including dental records, has been entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System. A DNA sample from Reid’s sister was also submitted to the database, January said.
Tessa Bowman is Reid’s aunt and the family member who reported Reid missing on May 20, 2021. The last time Reid was seen in the area was when she turned up on video at an ATM in Hickory. That was on Feb. 15, 2021, January said.
Reid was seen withdrawing money from the ATM. She was riding in a car with another person. The person and vehicle were identified, and authorities have determined the person is not linked to Reid’s disappearance, January said.
The family told police the last time they communicated with Reid was around Feb. 28, 2021.
Bowman said Reid has not accessed her bank account since she disappeared. Reid was receiving disability money, Bowman said.
“I hope April is happy and safe somewhere,” January said. “I would just like to be able to find some closure for (Bowman).”
