The case concerning Velva Lewis went cold quicker than anyone could have imagined, and as the years have passed on, not much else has been discovered about her case.

In December 2006, Velva Lewis was living in Charlotte, North Carolina. It was just two days before Christmas when she was spotted leaving her residence, however, no one knows where she was going or who she was meeting up with, if anyone. For a case embroiled in so much mystery, it’s confusing as to why there weren’t more reports made by news outlets about Velva Lewis or her missing person case.

At the time of her disappearance, Velva was 5 feet 5 inches tall and 210 pounds. She had black/dark brown hair and brown eyes. Velva was reportedly wearing pink pants with a beige, flowered top.

Eighteen years after she was first reported missing, the remains of Tyesha Bell have been located. I shared Tyesha’s story back in June 2020, explaining that in May 2003, Tyesha was living with her sister when she went outside of their Aurora, Illinois home to take a phone call and never returned. Initially, there weren’t panicked concerns but when none of the 22-year-old’s loved ones could get into contact with her throughout the day, Tyesha’s family contacted the authorities. (more…)
