Virgie Nowell, 44, disappeared after leaving Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on June 16, 2017. Originally from Baltimore, Maryland, she planned to return there to apply for food stamps and was reportedly accompanied on the trip by a white man known only as Nik. After she left for Baltimore she was never seen or heard from again.

Virgie is described as a Black woman with black hair and brown eyes, standing between 5 feet 1 inch and 5 feet 3 inches and weighing between 125 and 135 pounds. She has pierced ears and has used the last names Coles and Coles-Nowell. Specifics such as the clothes she wore that day or the route taken to Baltimore have not been released, and very few details have emerged since she was first reported missing. The Philadelphia Police Department is handling the open investigation.

Does anyone have information about Virgie’s travel plans, the man known as Nik, or sightings along likely routes between Philadelphia and Baltimore?
