Melissa Lisa Hackle, 51, disappeared from Soperton, Georgia, on January 4, 2018 — her fifty-first birthday. She was last seen walking away from a neighbor’s house, a short distance from her own home, and never made contact with family afterward. Her disappearance prompted investigations by the Soperton Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

At the time she went missing Hackle was described as a white female, 5 feet 2 inches to 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighing 137 to 165 pounds, with graying brown hair and hazel eyes. She has scars on her back, abdomen, and both arms. Her silver 2000 Nissan Frontier pickup was later found parked behind an abandoned house in Soperton, but that discovery produced no significant leads and the circumstances of her leaving on foot and the truck’s location remain unclear.

No confirmed contact or other substantial clues have been reported since she vanished. Does anyone in Soperton or the surrounding area remember seeing Melissa on or after January 4, 2018, or know anything about her truck being left behind the abandoned house?
