When Maegan Hembree's mother saw her last, she said she was heading from their family home in Smyer to a friend's house, but she never made there.
"When it happens to you, you just don't realize...It's unreal," said Robbie Hembree, her mother. "'Thought I might hear from her in a little bit, you know leaving her messages, then about mid-day. I checked the hospitals, jails, anything you could think of."
According to witnesses however, she was last seen with a man by the name of Michael Todd Ramsey. He was taken into for questioning, but no charges have ever been filed in Hembree's case. Ramsey does remain behind bars though in Vandzant County on unrelated charges.
"He's [Ramsey] going to answer for this, and we are going to get justice someday."
As the fourth year since her disappearance nears, Maegan's mother recalls what the last few have been like. Vigils and various searchers to help bring this daughter home to her parents, and a mother back to her son.
