Original Story:
Much hasn’t been published about Annie Horne, but her case has remained unsolved for nearly two decades. June 3, 2001, was the last time anyone had contact with the 38-year-old. However, where she was or who she may have been with hasn’t been shared publicly. At that time, Annie resided on Yorktown Road in Richmond, Virginia, and according to authorities, her home suggested that Annie would return at some time.
When investigators took inventory of the residence, Annie’s personal belongings were left behind. Her eyeglasses, clothing, wallet, keys, credit cards, checkbook, Bible, and van were all located.

The depth of the investigation into this case is a mystery as there is almost no information available, including if there were any persons of interest or suspects questioned.
